A Concept of life #BLOG3

We age with time and no matter how much effort one puts in, adulthood is followed with elderly phase of everyone’s life. We stay in a place or job for sometime before we shift to somewhere else. One’s image, fame and position is for sometime and can get over anytime. Hence people should internalise and realise this concept and try to be happy, staying positive and doing good in whatever and however one can in the status quo (present moment). 

We encounter so many people on a daily basis. They arrive on this worldly stage, perform their role and leave for others to do the same. Few become successful, famous and renowned for their works in their domain whereas many couldn’t exhibit their talent due to different reasons. When one does good things in a job or society, many would appreciate and try to give immortal status to such individuals. But the truth is that there might have been many famous; more successful and intellectual persons even in the past and they too get forgotten with time. Same would be the case with the present “so-called genius and immortal persons”. It’s important to understand that one’s existence ceases with death and hence should not expect ever-lasting life or prestige.

 the fact that more smart, intelligent and wise people will inhabit the earth in future with increasing technology, modernisation and better nutrition & education, Intelligence Quotient (IQ) of humans increases by 10-20 points per generation. Further, it questions the correctness of expectation from society of remembering us and our works. Due to the fast changing nature of world and shrinking personal space, why should people waste their time in remembering people from the past. Instead they should cherish the works of present and nurture the coming future in making a much better world order. If one can internalise this wisdom of being without attachments , more than half of the pain and disappointment in world would vanish. 

For example – Parents expect discipline and respect along with support when they age from their children. If the latter are not up to the mark (even a meagre 10% deviation) in delivering these expectations, parents feel unhappy, disappointed and even start questioning their parenting. This leads to a bad relationship.

   

Hence one should understand that the dynamic life always keeps on ticking and hence we should not cling on to the minute immaterial aspects and expectations from people around. This causes nothing other than anger, pain, frustration, disappointment etc. Instead of expecting, we need to accept the beauty of human existence. 

Further, whatever we are today is a product of our efforts, privilege (family status, caste) and genes we inherit. Hence, the role of several stakeholders of society can’t be discounted in success of any individual. Thus, it is our moral responsibility of giving back to society whatever and however we can (without expectations of being remembered after one’s existence, awards etc.). 

To conclude, I will highlight the truth that we all become uncomfortable with “Mortal Human Life”. We are bound to be vanished as we die and so do our works, especially they were self-centred and enriching. Few personalities like Bhagat singh, Lal bahadur shastri, Rani Lakshmi Bai, Shivaji are still remembered and taught for their works because they were foresighted and more helpful in nature. But even then they might be forgotten with time or cursed for something wrong (which might have been right in that moment). Accepting the harsh truth of our lives and short-lived nature of our existence and our name & work can only ensure well-being and peace.
