Miles to go before I sleep..

Published by

on

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.

Miles to go before I sleep.. (As in Robert Frost’s language)

    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:)

        Expect the media to reflect the truth, perhaps, rather than just turn our heads? Frost has a direct honesty which we could do with more of in the world …

    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 !😊
