"Us" in the world......

Shocked and beyond words of affinity. The best illustration that can somehow be compared to the cup of thoughts I had exactly 7 days ago. As I slowly scrolled down the pages one after another, I got all soaked up and the nauseating feeling was somehow felt..Ah…. No, it was not any disgusting sight or smell…Only, I had came across a lovely, heart warming blog which belongs to a senior of mine..Never did I realise before that he live a difficult and complicating life...Death, sickness, hardship and so on no longer a stranger for him..It was quite heart wrenching to read about it…Many times, whenever we fall again and again into the whirlpool of suffering we protested and imagined how life would be for us if it is always problem free.. We went haywire, condemning each and everything that went our way..We asked for justice and even hoped that our rotten karma will be over soon..The list goes on, as we either get a grip of ourselves and break the fall by standing up again, or in another case, if we are not determined enough, perhaps we will fall deep into the ravine of depression..The human realm is not really way different from the other realms..Though we may possess higher level of intelligence, we are still not free from sufferings..such as death, old age, sickness and birth….But we always have a choice…to climb up the ravine and be a survivor or to give up and die of hunger in the ravine…There is always the choice….One reasonable analogy that I have heard so far would be this…Human’s life is just like the open ocean..We have the waves hitting every now and then. As the waves hit high, that is when we are bombarded with extremely happy and satisfying feeling..Unfortunately, we always tend to forget that those waves, after reaching its highest peak of point might tend to hit the lowest surface of the ocean floor as well.. That will be when life becomes problematic to us and when we feel that there is no justice in this world..Am I right? The key point would be this..We should be a GOOD SURFER and surf through the waves..sense of equanimity….. Dear senior, I pray that you will always be well and happy. May the force be with you always.
