My dil goes....

We wake up. We sleep. In between lots of things happen around us or we perform many things - our work, study, playing, roaming, fun etc. But have We ever flashed thought called life in our mind? Felt color of life? Or ever thought importance or reason of existence of life? Why it is there? What to gain? Is it seldom journey from birth to death? If so then what about stations called pain, joy, success, failure, love, loneliness etc? If nothing to take in the end then why just money weight more than anything? Is it big lack of true knowledge about how to live? Ok, Human Being is never the perfect but why here and there we cause to hurt any one? If we don’t want to get hurt then why we hurt others? If love and warmth is great feeling, why we are not spreading it for others? Forget others many of the times we don’t share it to our ones also. We are not animal and got a feeling filled heart than why hatred is there among us? If we give everything to celebrate festivals to have joy, why we forget to celebrate life? Its alright if machines don’t have own intelligence and feeling they just tend to perform routine stereo-type work only but then why we are like machines even as having mind to think and heart to feel? We never look back beyond few social duties, how many life we will take to understand what is life and what it meant for? When we will overcome of our limitations? When? How many life we will take when the idea will come to think beyond eating or working like machines? How many?

“I think I’ll miss you, Jonathan,” was all he said.

“Sully, for shame!” Jonathan said in reproach, “and don’t be foolish! What are we trying to practice every day? If our friendship depends on things like space and time, then when we finally overcome space and time, we’ve destroyed our own brotherhood! But overcome space, and all we have left is Here. Overcome time, and all we have left is Now. And in the middle of Here and Now, don’t you think that we might see each other once or twice?”

-Excerpt from “Jonathan Livingston Seagull” by Richard Bach
