LIFE: A Form of Suffering

Can we have a life without problems, tears or sufferings?   A clear answer is NO. Life itself is a form of suffering. The rich suffer because of their riches. The poor suffer because of their poverty. People without a family suffer because they have no family. People with a family suffer because of their family. People who pressure worldly pleasures suffer because of their worldly pleasures. People who abstain from worldly pleasures suffer because of their abstension. Yet, I observe that not every person is crying because of their sufferings. There are two ways to see our lives, to look at its positive side or to look at its negative side. I would never suggest to focus on any one of them but the fact says that to live a happy life,  we shall be aware of both the sides of our life.  The negative side or the struggles or the abstensions of the life will always remind you to keep your feet on the ground.

Friendship: The Best Gift of Life

The heart of childhood is making friends. These friends are like our soft toys . We play with it, squash it, smash it, love it and also brawl it,  but we never want to throw it.  With passing time our soft toys become old and we lose our intrigue. Now we don't have soft toys anymore,  we have electronic devices.   These devices need to be refurbished and similarly we need new and more friends but also we are addicted to them.  Soon we realize that these devices are harming us in numerous ways. That's the time we start getting mature.  At this stage we discern that books are always best. Reading books never harms you but always teaches you new things in various areas of life. Sometimes you may like or dislike some of them. They maybe emotional, sarcastic or even heartbreaking, but you can't leave them. And friendship at this stage is like wine ,  it gets better with age........

SOUL OF STORY

WHEN YOU HEAR ABOUT THE MAJOR LIFE EVENT OF SOMEONE WITHOUT PROPER CONTEXT,  TRY AND REFRAIN FROM THE URGE OF FILLING IN STORY FOR YOURSELF. DON'T START THINKING OF THE NATURE OF THE BOOK BY LOOKING AT THE COVER. THE COVER, MORE OFTEN THAN NOT IS THE TOOL FOR SALEABILITY- A CAREFUL THOUGHT-OUT ITERATION TO APPEAL TO MOST PEOPLE - NOT NECESSARILY DESIGNED BY THE AUTHOR.  THE SOUL OF THE STORY IS THE BOOK. YOU DON'T TRULY KNOW THE STORY TILL YOU READ IT FROM COVER TO COVER AND SOMETIMES,  NOT EVEN THEN.
