They say that “Excess of anything will lead to trouble” and I agree with whoever they are. This is a simple fact that most of us will agree to it provided the person’s hobby is not to look for exceptions.
The life of a human being is not simple as eating, having sex, and dying. It is complex to such extent that even after death, we require to perform formal funeral rituals. The situation is even more complex in my culture i.e. We don’t die and continue with a rebirth, then another death, and this cycle continue until the guy achieves salvation. This simply means that we are the people who are to be considered as the ultimate losers. We have failed our birth consistently for centuries and still have no luck.
I apologize for taking it to such extent. Concisely, all I wanted to prove was that most of us live a complex life. I will deal with the second half of the above paragraph in some other post. If you missed the point, then how about considering the paragraph right below. It’s sounds more of this world.
Hopefully you are son of someone, father to somebody, students in a few fields of life. master in even fewer, maybe a boss, might be an employer in a never ending list of roles. Now, before continuing, I will like you to consider the depth of previous statement.
There are multiple things to be performed in limited time period and the key to real success lies in ‘the balance’ between your roles. Let’s make it more interesting by having a look at the following examples.
- What about a guy who earns a lot, but has no time for family for whom he earns?
- What about a person who is with his family and without a job?
Anyone with little or more intelligence will say “That guy needs a change”. The problem with most of us is that we overemphasize on some fields and take others for granted. Those might not be the perfect examples, but how about some brainstorming where you can swap the roles as applicable to your life.
“Balance” is the term that defines the quality of life being lived by an individual. We need to widen our view towards life and still maintain focus on crucial fields and roles.
* Money is not evil. You cannot cover your incompetence under any Spiritu0-Mythalogical reason. Money like fame is nothing, but simply one of the necessities.
* It is you who need to define the priorities for you. There must be no reason to complain and if you have one, then you need to reconsider the priorities of your life.
All you need is to accept your reality, become responsible, and figure out a way to attain balance in life. A quote from Chanakya Niti is probably the best idea to end this article.
“Excess of beauty resulted in the kidnapping of Sita, extreme ego of Ravana got him killed, and unnecessary charity caused great troubles to Raja Bali.”
May Shiva Bless us all!
