LIFE; IN MY PERSPECTIVE
Don’t some of us often wonder, What kind of life is this that I am living?
Dear readers,my entire blog is about life. I am not a literary writer or an artist. But… life itself has transformed me into a small writer. Many of us have heard the saying, “Life begins at forty.” But in reality, it is not the same for everyone. From the flow of my thoughts, this blog is a small spiritual reflection on the experiences I have seen, heard, and understood in life.
A BEAUTIFUL CHILDHOOD
Childhood is the most beautiful phase of life—and that is how it should be.It is a time when a child flutters around like a butterfly. Their mind and heart are like a blank white board, untouched and unwritten. Whatever gets written on it later—knowingly or unknowingly—becomes the foundation of their future life. Sadly, many childhoods are crushed under the feet of adults, becoming victims of their ego. The very hands that are meant to support them sometimes end up choking them.
ADOLESCENCE AND YOUTH
Adolescence is the phase that steps out of childhood. It is a time filled with curiosity to understand everything. While some turn inward, others express themselves openly. The “white board” of childhood slowly begins to show its influence. If they choose to, they can reduce its intensity. In the unseen storms within their hearts, when something gentle enters like a cool breeze, it can bring change. This is also the stage where they are most likely to lose their way. Sometimes, when they are unable to accept what comes their way, they feel helpless. At such times, it is their loved ones who must stand beside them as support.
LIFE ENTERS THE ARENA
That little butterfly has now spread its wings, eager to soar into the vast blue sky called life. Gathering all the strength they have built, they step into the arena of life. Now begins the real game—the chess of life. Here, it is either victory or defeat. But when we think deeply, we realize that we ourselves are the chess pieces moving between these two outcomes. At times, just when we feel victory is within reach, we may actually be losing. And sometimes, when we think we have failed, we may actually be winning. Without even realizing it, we continue to move as pieces on the chessboard of life.
But many fail to understand this. They focus only on success and row forward with all their might. During this journey, their hands may ache, their grip may weaken… yet they keep rowing harder and harder. Yes, they may eventually reach their destination. But when they turn back, they may find no one there…Those who started the journey with them, those who promised to share life, those who said they would stay till the end…Perhaps they were left behind halfway. Or perhaps, in the rush to climb the ladder of success, their hands were pushed away.
Do we ever pause to think about those who were left behind?Those who tried their best to move toward success but couldn’t…Those who sacrificed their own journey to help others succeed…Those who began the journey together but were abandoned mercilessly at the end…
A LESSON FROM LIFE
Dear ones, life is not just meant for success—it is also meant for failure, isn’t it? Can we not make at least a small sacrifice for our loved ones? The journey of life is not meant to be completed alone. It is meant to be walked with those who struggle, with those who face obstacles along the way. Isn’t true life about striving together so that all of us can succeed?
