Coming to terms
Monday, May 5th, 2008I have come to understand - this world is a funny, loving, irritating, rewarding, impractical, biased, blessed, amazing, crazy and at the same time the only mad and beautiful choice of place you have right now, to spend this lifetime.
The kinds of experiences I have had since I landed here is mind boggling. And if I do a little mathematics multiplying the number of experiences under various headings with the human population - wow - it is one huge load of experiences happening on this planet to everyone somewhere right now. And for one person to know and experience it all, would probably take infinite lifetimes. Sometimes it just is not imaginable. Some are good experiences and some are downright unthinkable. I feel it is a mix that makes the picture pretty. Sometimes there is no choice to what is happening right now. But it can be changed so that it does not happen again in that same grim way but in a more pleasant way. It takes time to bear out the pain. But hey, right now I live here. And so do you. And the billions of others. We have no other planet to go. So lets get to terms with life out here. A little understanding sure helps.
When something good happens our system is so made that the joy is most of the time short lived. But should something mad or bad happen then that memory seems to live a lifetime! Is it a wonder or just an individual understanding of the universal system’s working mechanism? Either way it seems to give a clear message. And each human being reads this message in his own understanding of this world. That is probably what makes no two people alike on the face of this whole vast wide world.
Yeah, I am unique too. And so are you. This knowledge probably gives you some sort of ownership in this world. The personality that you own. I am that I am. I did try and rack my brain to understand the power and meaning behind this ancient statement. Though sometimes I seem to catch a glimpse of its meaning, it evades me easily. After many an attempt, I simply took the bull by its horn. I am that I am. Come what may and I care two hoots - I AM THAT I AM. No matter what my positives are and simply no matter what my negatives are. I am that I am. And I am proud of that. I need no certificate to live in this world.
Know what? When I did begin to own myself, I began feeling good! No matter if my daily experiences match any of the ones referred in the beginning of this post or the multitude of the ones not mentioned there, I still feel I am a part of this wonderful world. I AM THAT I AM!
Go out and enjoy my friend! The sunrise, the sunset, the moon, the stars are still free to watch. Or choose wisely and begin good experiences with a loved one. What ever you do, just remember that you are Unique! And the world loves you that way.
