RISE & FALL

We fall to rise and rise to fall

In one attempt we cannot achieve it all

Trial and errors are the order of the day

There is nothing much left to say

When you are on top you feel like a giant

While others seem to be as insignificant 

as ant

But when you fall to the ground

Just like others get kicked around

We only have sense when........we realize

Those who we had pushed away

Are the ones who understand and stay!

Words are not for everyone - only those who understand and care!

Interaction and communication is not possible with everyone. Not many will understand you or will be interested.  We all have different mind set and it is hard to find like minded people. But it hard to know who cares?  One who cares, understands and only those understand who cares.  We often open our heart in front of people who seem to show us some sign of sympathy.  But are those the people who care?  May be not!  Some only care enough to gather information or in other words, they are just curious.  Others, are somewhat happy that you are in a situation where they can feel superiority over you.  While some feel that you are supposed to be there because that is what you deserve.  You may see sign of sympathy but for other reasons.  All that people care for is how to further make you miserable and ridicule.  Sounds so sadist.  Sadly true.  Those who really care, does not wait for you to tell them, beg them or narrate to them.  They SIMPLY KNOW.  They see your hidden tears, they hear the pain in your voice, they feel the sorrow in your life.  They know it all and they do not sympathize with you to provoke your anguish, they encourage you and boost up your spirit.  They share with you.  Share your suffering, share their happiness.  They give you their shoulder, they pat your back.  They have come to rescue you and will stay to the end..........................TO CELEBRATE.  "They are the ones who understand you and care deeply for you."  

You do not need to tell them anything.  They know it all.

TIME WILL TELL!

            TIME WILL TELL

The rich does not want to share

The poor are cold and bare

The rich does not care

The poor says, "Its not fair,"

The rich says its all mine

Every penny every dime

The poor says, "Okay fine, let us leave it to the time."

Time will do justice, time will change conditions and situations.

Can the reflection of GOOD be BAD?

That is the question that often lurks in my mind.  And the plain and simple answer is NO. The reflection of good can NEVER be bad.   We do not need to be the best or the perfect but just good.  The result of good CANNOT be bad.  IT HAS TO BE GOOD.  No matter what, no matter where, no matter how, insist on being good, doing good and thinking good and all along it will eventually be GOOD.
Good has along good chain.  Good heart is the cause of good intention, good intention leads us to good actions and good action blossoms into good results.  All along and it goes on and on.  Sometimes it seems so that being good was not a good idea and so one holds back.  Being good has always been and always be a good idea.  It may not work sometime but it sows the seed of goodness which eventually flowers into good harvest.  Well my point is that at no time, in no circumstance, give in to wrong thing and nothing ever will go wrong forever even after death.  Even when one is not around no one will have anything bad to talk about us.  People may dislike us for not being agreeable or for some secret reasons but they will be left with no reason to talk bad about us even we do not do anything bad.  In fact they will have nothing to talk about us, if they do not want to talk good about us.  On the other hand, if we do bad, people may talk good about us on our face to flatter us or out of fear but in the long run or after our death, deep down in their heart, they will shake their heads and say how and what they actually felt about us which may not be anything good.  Be good, say good, do good, think good etc.  Whatever is in your control make sure it is nothing else but GOOD.  Be good to yourself and that alone will be enough effort of being and bringing good to this earth.  An opinion!

Make Effort and Make it Count

Opportunities does not only knock at the door, in fact it is all around us.  It is in the air.  Every minute we are breathing in opportunities.  It is there all around us, visible and invisible.  It is there all around us in all forms, shapes and sizes.  This whole life is one big opportunity.  This whole world is filled up with opportunities. Make the most of every minute of your life and every effort made, no matter how small is rewarding.  Every one of them counts.  Sometimes, we do not see any result of our effort and hence think that it is in vain.  No, that is not true.  Every sincere effort made may seem to have disappeared right in front of our eyes.  But it is actually collecting to bring a bigger and more promising reward.  It is always better to let all the rewards accumulate while we patiently wait and see the bigger reward of our continuous effort.  
What is an opportunity?  How do we know one?  THAT IS A GOOD QUESTION!  The biggest of all opportunities is LIFE.  While one is alive that itself is an opportunity.  Death is the END of all opportunities.  What else?  Time.  Time is an opportunity.  Catch it!  Grab it!  Make use of it.  Make the most of it. Is there any other opportunity?  PEOPLE.  See them as opportunities.  But how?  See them as opportunities of love, kindness, help, charity, good deeds, humanity, sharing, caring, teaching, learning and so much more.  What else?  All kinds of ways that one can be of use, of help are opportunities.   

Opportunities and effort are so interlinked.  We build opportunities with our effort. All opportunities will die down if we do not reach it with effort.  Continuous effort will keep alive so many opportunities for so many of us.  We say that there is nothing we can do even without trying.  Opportunities will boost you up if you feed it with effort.  Opportunities have massive appetite for effort.  All they crave for is effort.  So what kills them?  Ignoring them or in other words, IGNORANCE.  The root cause of destruction.  Ignorance kills almost everything.  Awareness adds sparks to opportunities.  It kindles your mind and motivates it to try.  

Opportunities are rewarding.  They are very promising.  It gives happiness, satisfaction and makes you prosper in every way you ever wanted to.Next time when someone says, there is no opportunity, just tell the person to reach out and grab it.  Opportunities are everywhere, it is in the air!  

FRIENDS & FOES ARE HARD TO TELL APART

Today's world is a camouflage.  Friends blend into foes and foes into friends.  It all depends on what we are actually looking for.  We are actually looking for friends with the qualities of a foe and distance ourselves from friends because they do not possess the qualities that pleases us.  What we are actually looking for are people who can please us, encourage us for our wrong actions, applauds us for our ignorance, flatter us for our appearance and attires, lie to us about our imaginary virtues (which we actually do not possess) and thus benefit from us.  We feel we are being admired.  We feel so blessed to have such supporters. But in the end...........these are the very people who leave us feeling miserable and wretched.  We mistake enemies as friends.  They lead us nowhere, in fact they leave us in the middle of nowhere and perhaps that is what suits us.  We only realize when it is a little toooo late.  
Yes, on the other hand, we MISTAKE friends as enemies, because something that we dislike so much about real friends is that they speak the truth.  If only they did NOT speak the truth how nice and gracious they would be.  Besides, instead of flattering they are always ready with advises and suggestions.  Guess what, you don't even need to ask them for it.  They will offer it anyway.  Phew!  It is so annoying.  Why can't they be like so agreeable and keep their eyes close to our damage and injuries.  They always warn us, make us cautious and even go to the extent of stopping us.  How can we call such people our friends?  They are coming our way.  But in the END we realize they only meant our own good.  They actually loved us, unconditional love.  They loved us for who we are, just the way we are.  They had no interest whatsoever in what we own, what we can give them or how they can benefit from us.  
But we like praises, flattery, compliments etc.  definitely not advises, suggestions, warnings etc. Hence we land up sticking with enemies and abandoning friends.  Careless choice and a dangerous decision.  We cannot tell apart friends from foes because of our own weakness of mind.  Mind you!
