What do I know about people, or my surroundings?
They are just there or am I the one who is just
around?
Do we have enough to learn from all that is around
or are they just coming in your way.
To
live, I strongly believe that we should observe, understand and respect the
distinctive worth of people.
I have seen that over years attitude of
people towards me have changed. Is this a conscious effort or have you
ever analysed?
When I did; it mattered.
I
started to treat them the same way they treated me and then it was easier to
change.
Maybe there would have been a phase in my
life where I did not want people around to watch or recognize me. But
now it has turned to this quest for attention. When I got attention it was only
by valuing each and everyone around. Whatever I needed was around. All I had to
do was just take it.
Most
of us are independent and by now has learnt the basic rule of life. Not to have
emotional dependency on people or material.
Yes we
all have goals and ambitions and we are most willing to step on the nearest
shoulder to achieve our dreams. How much ever we say we do not need love, appreciation
and more and more we emphasise that we love our solitude and self made empire
of “void” we are just campaigning a defence mechanism.
We all need somebody!
We
love to be appreciated how much ever we say we do not need credit and recognition
for it.
We affirm how beautiful we are, how strong
we are and how much we do not need love.
If you
want to touch people and change lives, you look around and listen and try to
understand, than question them or give advice.
Are
you an expert to give advice?
I hate it when a dear one smokes; Am I a
Doctor, researcher? Do I know the side effects of smoking or am I doing
everything right? Am I in a place to advice the other?
I give relationship advice after several
failed relationship and people still come to me for advice.
But entering the personal space is not the
only way to touch lives. Nor do you achieve any greatness by doing so.
But,
like the circle of life...When I touch the life of a human being and teach a
person how to smile I pass on the torch to many other lives.
I agree :)

I must say that all of us have our small or big worlds full of family, friends and maybe love too. Its there but running away from it or distracting ourselves from it's true importance is what some or all of us today being money/time oriented have got used to. We all are connected but looking into other's life/world to pick from it isn't the life ahead. Instead just work lovingly on your world and life and slowly yet peacefully enamorise a few others still not in your world. They are part of the circle of life so do accept them without reacting at them. We arent alone if we are happy :) Good blog dear. Nice...
