Words and Notion

Observe, Don't just see

Miles to go before I sleep..

by 73 Comments

I assumed the world to be what I read through newspapers. I felt much familiar to the world I live. I was pleased with all the humanly pleasures around my realm. I know there are pains, suffering, depressions, and all such anguishes in this world. Still I thought it to be a happy world, keeping the reality apart.

    What is reality to hide? Happiness is how you perceive things! As the emotion is relative in nature, if no ‘pain’ there is no ‘happiness’.
    Btb, akhila good ending…. however take it as positive. It depends on the ‘miles’, you decide the wait time at woods:)

    Nature is ever perfect , that includes everything that exists . Our perceptions make something as pleasure others are pain.

    I still work with same dedication with each sphere of my life. But my views about everything has changed.

    Where people say

    Miles to go before I sleep

    Something keep on echoing with in me

    I want nothing
    I do nothing
    I am nothing

    No ego,. No sense of doership !😊

    If you think too much about the world around, you will always be disappointed. Better to be happy in whatever day passes-by!

    Nothing wrong in it, it is just like staying away from negative emotions and maybe one can help others better by first himself being happy.
