Thoughts!!

Came across a wonderful thought today so thought of posting it:

"Kabhi zindagi ek pal mein gujar jaati hai... aur kabhi ek pal hi nahi gujarta..."

Translated:
"Sometimes life seems to be passing away in a moment... sometimes its difficult to pass a single moment..."

I don't truly know whether I completely understand this statement or not, but by whatever I make out of it, it is a very well said statement. And the fact that makes it so beautiful is the deep meaning it has in its simple words. By the long message it conveys through just a few words.

By what I make out it: it means to say that when things are going right and life is all rosy, you feel as if time is just flying by. You don't have a count of hours or days or even weeks at times. But on the other hand, when things are not going right, you even have the count of minutes or rather seconds!

This makes me think. Why? A why actually is the biggest question in life and keeps coming up
every now and then. But still why is this so? Why does it happen that we have such different feelings of time just based on some external parameters (our state of mind is more or less governed by some external parameters is what I feel)??? I don't think there is any answer to that. It's just the selfish human nature and that's how HE has made us. We just want to be happy always and don't want to feel anything sad. Hence, We make a note of the time that we are passing off as being unhappy. We are so sure that HE has written the best for us that we don't even consider that life can be gleamy at times.

Now that's human nature. But should we prepare ourselves somewhat for the unhappy times so that life's doesn't appear so unfair when things are not right? Or should we just do nothing about it and be as we are? I think chosing the former is better off. I am trying to change myself to follow the same. BUt as they say it... it's easier to preach than to follow :-)

Anyways, just some thoughts... so wrote it... nothing more than that!

Cheers!

Well written dude!!!
But try as we may we cannot prepare ourselves for the unhappy times, so just take life as it comes...:)

Hey wandering wonderer... I agree to the fact that we can't prepare ourselves completely for the unhappy times... but we surely can reduce the pain caused!
