670. THE NATURAL WE AND THE OUGHT-TO-BE WE

- Josheca Mukerji

We get upset so easily, don’t we? Sometimes, maybe, the reason is genuine but still our getting upset over that doesn’t help us in any way. Yes, it is easier said than done and it is quite natural to become upset when things don’t happen our way. However, we can at least try to be positive and not keep brooding over something gone wrong. Well, why don’t we think this way- life is a long journey but it is too short to waste by being melancholic and thus we ought to make the most of it, learn from mistakes and keep moving ahead.  And why do we forget that there may be people who have to suffer more than us? But no, for us our own problems are the greatest at the moment of distress and perhaps, even after that too. A quite natural feeling but we need to think and curb this tendency to think of our own problems as the greatest ones. All we need to do is to keep our heads cool and take our steps cautiously and remember that others too are people and they too have problems. So, we should stay happy and maintain a strict no-no to negativities. Problems aren’t negativities. They are a way to make us stay busy and use our brains more to make our lives positive. But this doesn’t mean its okay to invite troubles.

Only as far as I seek can I go,
Only as deep as I look can I see,
Only as much as I dream can I be.
