When I take a glimpse of my past, I arrived at the conclusion that i was like a boatman who spent his life crossing others to the opposite side of the river. When passengers reach their destinations they totally forget the boatman. He returns home alone.It is easy to navigate a boat with soars but difficult to bring one's own boat to the shore.
We grow under the canopy of a family hence we have an obligation towards family to do something for them. Every heart treasures such desire to demonstrate its gratitude. This feeling, at least, persists in the Indian sub-continent. This feeling boosts family’s stamina. Joint family is based as much on ‘give’ as on ‘take’. This is an excellent example of synergy in which each one nourishes another. By such nurture, families shine and prosper.
With the passage of time one generation is replaced by the following one with roles of members continue to change, members join and leave. In every situation, our ‘role’ is assessed on our efficiency to act. Family-relationship thrives on emotions which become nutrients for relations.
Earnings become necessary to meet the necessities of life, food, clothing and shelter. While money provides food to the stomach, it excites mind for mischief. Feelings are sacrificed under the impact of money and independent establishments come into existence. Quite often, instead of providing food for the family, ambitions soar so high that the prime necessity gets neglected. This becomes dynamite for the joint family system. It is a vicious circle having no escape. One who is trapped is governed by emotions and sense of responsibility. In this situation one must act with caution and smartness. If the person who shoulders all kinds of responsibilities expects something in return, his expectations are likely to be belied because the world is smart and shrewd. My conclusion is, ‘Help yourself first. Help others only when you become strong enough.’
It is necessary to set clear-cut goals for a successful life. Before accomplishing ambitious goals one has to accomplish smaller ones. After assessing existing circumstances one should make strategic changes, where even failure can be converted into stepping stone for success. One cannot stop nor stagnate the search for the ‘right wall’ is inherent in these initial failures. A boat sails towards the East the other towards the West. It is not the wind that decides the direction. The direction is controlled using the oars by the sailor.
In our families whatever is being taught in the name of tradition has become outdated not incompatible with the fast changing world. What a child learns during infancy gets firmly rooted in the mind and hence the pace of the new world does not find him up to the mark. The child finds himself retarded. Established notions are getting devastated, so are the concepts and faiths. The old generation had a God, the creator and regulator of activities but the new generation has distanced itself from such fetters. He does not like intruding God because he relies that is intelligent and able enough. This is a significant sign.
Relations are now losing their significance and the warmth gradually because experiences goes on teaching something to us. It has made invisible intrusion in human behaviour. Social values are changing fast. Whatever happens around us gets an instantaneous reaction. The impact of fast changes is reflected in human behavior, women are acting as males whereas males are behaving in an equally opposite manner. While children are trying to behave as adults, older people have been behaving in a childish manner.
While most of the people spent their life time in earning livelihood, there are some people who are trying to search life in the existence. This is like swimming in a pool as against swimming in the sea. People who are in search of meaning in their life astonish me with their distinguished ability to take unusual decisions whereas people who are in the quest of earning only livelihood agitate me because their stomach is never fulfiled.
The problem with this world is that people do not allow a person to live according to his wishes. Hence as a reaction, he too begins reacting so as to seek vengeance and creates hurdles in the lives of several others. This game has been going on since time immemorial. Pleasure-pain, success-failure, meeting-separation are temporal but whenever they occur in a man’s life they create a kind of mental imbalance. The one who retains his equilibrium and remains unaffected in every circumstance is the person who has triumphed in life.
Life has its own spectrum of colours. It mixes several colors in such a way that it becomes colorless, like the transparent water. That is why it is called, ' Duniya Rang Birangi, world without color.
