Uneven realisation


Each day is a new start....unbelievable things happen and you do not realize that you are actually leaving yourself much behind to pursue the future. I named this post as uneven because I am still groping in the dark to untangle the knot in my mind.

Why doesn't a person realize when he or she is harming his or her future? When we are in the present either we decide without knowing its future implications or we commit by impulsive mode of character. Only in the future do we go ahead and look back to find that half of the life that we have spent, has been wasted. Its in human nature to work hard now to reap the profit later but in the din of the present day we do not realize that the most precious moments are the ones that we are spending now. The future depends on the present and the present on the past. Its like a tree that grows its shoot, then branches and then the leaves. Each part of the tree is dependent on the other so is each phase of our life dependent on the other.

Its very very human to make mistakes but as it is said "as you sow, so will you reap", our mistakes do not leave us. Yes, but it is prudent to move on in life. It is one single life that God has given and therefore the utilisation should be perfect else we keep paying the price for it. A rotten present is detrimental to a secure future. However once we get a grip we succeed in pulling ourselves together. It is necessary to see ourselves from the eyes of another. It helps to judge impartially.


I do not find any clarity of thought or a stream of consciousness in the way I wrote all this but I admit that this is a caricature of my realisation that life plays all sort of games......its on us to decide whether we be the player or the spectator.

We are often so engrossed in our present that we forget about our past or future. Exactly, I added past with all it’s presence. Logic never works as it should.

I don’t bother about my past, present or future and to add to my happiness, I am conscious about it. I am – that is all that matters to me – the very being. Jean Paul Sarte might say that this very being is nothingness. I think being turns into nothingness when you are not happy with it.

I am happy with my every state of being – and I am happy.
