LIFE - letz change da rulz

Life is beautiful.

Probably it is beautiful because it has shades of multiple colors… joy, success, toughness, adventure, system, tradition, culture, nature, speed, light, darkness, limitation the list goes on.

Most probably it is beautiful because it is precious, since everyone has only one life. It is natural that everyone wants to make the best of it. We want to live a happy, meaningful, fruitful and good life. This thirst is present in everyone. It is so basic a search, we unconsciously pickup rules from the environment in which we grow up. If we analyze, usually it consists of following elements: quality education, Job with a good salary, beautiful spouse, multi-wizard kidz, get settled with a house, increase bank accounts, old age tours, we don’t think about the end.

It is very important to note that everything noted in the list is steeped with ‘self-interest’. Here, the philosophy of life is ‘my life’ ‘my family’ ‘my job’ ‘my future’ ‘my kids’! How pathetic their end is… They die as if they have done nothing solid with their life!

Life is much more these boundaries we draw unto ourselves. It is like a river generously outpouring oneself. We receive freely; we give freely. Look, for example at the nature. This is the secret of life! Those abide by this we call them GOD.

Letz therefore change the rulz… education, job, partner, kidz, house and then I do something for the people around me! Because that’s going to give real meaning for our lives, a life completely lived for others is ideal!  Medha Patkar, A. Roy, so many unknown people. That need not be will of God for everyone… But everyone here is sure called to live in solidarity with our neighbor (the stranger outside our house). This is the key to meaningful life. This is what makes an authentic Christian. 

There are numerous stories of ordinary Indian who are making a difference in lives of the people! I found a score them in  Real Heroes: Ordinary People Extraordinary services. From Bina Kalindi – West Bengal to M. Yoganathan – Tamil Nadu they have worked for the wellbeing of the people from different walks of life with varied initiatives.

If we self-examine ourselves for the happiest moment of our life, certainly it would point to the moment when we have helped someone, who could not repay us. If we have not experienced this, it is high time we have one such experience.  Let us try applying the new rules and enjoy a happy life, happy end, a meaningful existence here on earth.
