The Wisdom in Choice

There is a lot of leaning for wisdom to reach the masses. One of them is the art of making a choice. The choice of deciding what one needs to prove and to whom. These may vary from person to person and the best choice with a huge number of following can do wonders. Less said than done, yielding to irrelevant choices and becoming a puppet of the naysayer can drive one to perdition.

I was once a part of such an episode. The person known to me was egging me on to settle score with another who was comely and handsome with his choices. His grouse was that the one with whom he compared me was above par at everything and I was lagging. The apple and orange thing crops up here. But, we won't go deep into it or else, there won't be enough oranges in the market.

This comparison went on until I proved that my milestones were different and I being a mystic, had a different timeline to stick to. The person backtracked and became embroiled in his own identity crisis. What remained was a scourge of the underestimation and his own identity crisis.

The choice I made was not to prove this person that I was in any way better. But, the belief in God's providence. There is a time for everything and you need not prove your mettle to a derelict with no clothes. If you do, there would be more clothes in your possession and nothing else.

Try proving yourself to a right person and the result would be great.

Favour Mirabilis

People do remember favours. But, it depends on whom you lavish a favour on. A materialistic person may ascribe your generosity to things such as money, attire, job or status as important. This casts a shadow on the love you had showered on him regardless of the type of a favour. I can recall an incident in my life wherein the  person was in need of love. He built some sort of escapist tendencies and sought it in a companion who had a sinister design for him. While the person in whom all the lacking in companionship was sought after appeared a misfit, he was woken from his sleep. Through this incident, one can recall that the right favour needed from anyone in this lacking person's life was love. No money would have satisfied his need for it. Just a timely amount of  love retrofitted could have meant a lot for him. The one who had fulfilled this wish in this person's life could have made a way into his heart and the favour remembered the whole of his life. Such nitty-gri...

A Deepening Chasm

 Old memories are good. But if they bring something of a troubled present, these emotions of yore feel rather unpleasant and one feels like less nostalgic whatsoever. This is a prevalent norm- especially in this social media-stricken world. Everybody seems to have a situation like this wherein some old friend has grown into what they don't want to become a party to. This is true. I tried to renew ties with an old friend of mine who was in a rather different phase of life then, owing to a failed aspect. He was a good and funny person to be with. As it turned out to be, we had drifted for too long and I put a brake on the friendship. The reason was that he had fallen into the trap of a bad company of friends. It is always wise to tread cautiously when some old friend makes way into your life. The key to this caution is that there should be no need to give him your complete credentials; most funnily, your house address. Keep playing with some cards close to your chest and then you wil...
