Looking behind the curtains!


The curtains of the K.L.E Society's Law College Fest-2011 rolled down last week. Almost the entire college worked for its success.

When I look behind the curtain, I see moments of joy, sorrow, anger, appreciation, love, disbelief and many more. Someone has rightly said that every moment has to be thoroughly enjoyed. Every moment of joy, sorrow has something hidden for us to grab. Wise are those who seize it.

What about the ones who don't seize it??
They'll get another chance :)

It is just like yesterday that we were inviting Judges for the event and today, we were thanking them for coming. Indeed, time and tide waits for no man! The nostalgia of those 3 days of the Fest is a true journey in understanding things better :)
I've heard people say, "Whatever happens, always happens for the good." I hadn't understood what it 'actually' meant. Recently, I've been experiencing times of joy, sorrow, anger. I wondered why God gave us problems though we were his dear children. I always thought it would have been so much easier if God created us as Mr/Ms. Perfect. Earth would have definitely been a better place if everyone were born without defects.
But, sometime back I understood that life wouldn't be fun if everything was perfect. Life would be monotonous without imperfections of today's world. A man's life would become miserable if he stayed happy all the time. Its nice to be unhappy at times :) (that is when we actually cherish the happy moments) So it is very NATURAL to get angry, to be sad, to lose hope, to fail, to mess up things, to do wrong, etc. But, this is not an excuse to do wrong! It is a mode of stabilising the mind to work better :)

During the Fest, there were moments when I was sad, frustrated, angry. Accepting the emotion (courtesy the Blessing Course) instead of fighting against it, lightened the mind to such an extent that it helped me get out of the situation faster :)

I get displeased when I see people not fulfilling their responsibilities or duties. This was a common sight while working for the Fest. It irritated me a few times. Later, by just accepting that very fact of displeasure relieved me of that burden. The whole system felt lighter. Only with acceptance comes peace. Only with peace can we perform better!

Next time you are up against your mind, don't resist it (however negative the emotion may be). Just accept it the way it is and it will surely become easier to handle the situation better :)
