Ever wondered why when we ponder
Errors come to mind before the right actions
Criticism comes before praises
Doomed day incidents come before a blessed day &
Sad thoughts rush before the Good ones
Has it actually something to do with the concept that is shouted out loud & clear
by one and all i.e. "Life is full of thorns"
or is there some other angle, some other reason to it.
Lets take a simple example:
while driving to office every morning, especially on the days am running late (which is the usual case :) ) i almost encounter a consistent phenomena, traffic lights turning red every time i approach them. But today when i reached the traffic light it turned Green. Wow,i didn't have to wait at all. Not bad. First day of my life when the traffic lights have turned out to be my allies.
Than is when i remembered, this wasn't the first time. This happened earlier as well. I guess once. Nope, I guess twice. Oh no, this incident has occurred quite a few times. Great.
So i thought lets contribute few valuable moments of my life ;) and try to contrive approximate number of times i might have encountered just a situation.
To my surprise, this incident had nothing new to it. This had occurred earlier. Neither once, nor twice.
Instead i had come face to face with such an incident numerous times in my life. YES, that' s a fact.
Surprising. Shocking. Amazing. Intriguing. That's what this discovery is for me.
Am surprised by the way i remembered each day when i found the traffic lights unfavorable but shocked to know how i forgot the other days.
Am amazed to realize that occurrence of both these events have been more or less same and intrigued to know the reason behind the remembrance of just my days of reckoning.
This brief meditation, helped me in realizing and understanding a very important fact about life
i.e. life is full of happy and sad moments,
lucky and ill-starred days,
moments of love and hatred &
jiffs of achievement and failure,
but we often just remember the later ones because that's what we prioritize and that's what we hunt for. I guess we all enjoy cribbing more than living. We all have adapted ourselves to a lifestyle that focuses more on imperfect happenings and sadness instead of lively & happy moments. Consciously or Unconsciously each one of us has dragged ourselves into a self formed pit of negativity.
The way our life turns out to be actually depends to a large extent upon the way we comprehend and live it. It depends upon the journey that we embark on and the goal that we search for. If we search for thorns we would never be able to find the rose, savor its fragrance and appreciate its beauty.
In short, Memoirs of ones life depends upon what one seeks.
