Fountain head

The evolution of life began from single cell, that is a scientific theory based on knowledge and assumption, it, dates back to billion years in past, that is our fed source today.

Ironically our text book contains, to an extent what has been so far researched, experimented, invented, evolved or concluded. But is that all there? Definitely not, there lies questions yet to be answered, uninhabited zone, theories debatable.

According to a research, we have mirror neuron which cultivate apes like instinct within us, we tend to imitate what people around us are doing without giving a logic to its happening, perhaps we are carried away by vision or instinct, by theory it is the reason that, we try to acquire the car which family next door has bought and drove home while we watched and parked it next to our gate. But, the good news is that if we tend to yawn seeing other person doing it, this is our social animal gene that reflects we are human and do get affected by gestures of people around us, precisely it means, we do care. Reminds me of my first line in social science class, 'man is a social animal'.

Then, we expect things to happen, changes to be made, life to be made comfortable by someone else, which is not correct, inversely, it is that we have to be a change, to bring a change.

A discussion that triggered my thought, was about a change in a leader, will bring a change for people. Actually as human we look for change when we are piled up with our routines not fetching any results or desired intentions. It can be about a maid who cooks food for us but no one in family enjoys. We whisper of change. Its about the job where we attend nine to five but satisfaction is not matching our mark. We whisper of change. Its about the car which we once bought out of excitement realizing that it was hurried decision. We whisper of change.

But crux of the issue is that change makes apparently a different scene but the core essence remains the same and that is us, our expectations and gratifications. The more you yearn for it, the more harder it becomes to achieve. So its better to evolve within us then to look for it outside. The help of outside may merely be cosmetic, short lived or even below marks, but, the change within will be lasting, satisfying and may not tend to make a story beyond a reach.

Its not of a compromising decision, its of igniting inner instinct, power, and intellect within us to bring a change in ourselves, once done, things shall burst the new born flares within us, around us, in family, in neighbor, in society, in city and the things will be better for good and forever. Aptly quoted, no country is perfect, its we who have to make it perfect, laws are made but we have to enforce them, implement them and abide them, that shall be start of new outlook.

So, pleasant journey ahead is basically our own by product and I have no apprehension to say here, that each one of us should seek inner-self, our own source, the fountain of change flows within us, actually, we don't need a leader for it, but a feeder for it, so that pastures of life never barren.

You're mine, You're not, You're ......

At times it is hard resolving with oneself, in a soul hurt trauma, arising out of equation that makes it an emergency call.

Who are those we address as close and those as distant?

Rumi quoted if you are looking for a friend who is faultless, you will be friendless.

Who is close or distant or according to wicked mind’s note, who is friend or foe?

We humans are typically ungratified and demanding at the same time, we always bank upon our acquaintance for one or other reason, may it be a child for parents or other way around. Our concern or affection hardly is unconditional. Somewhere deep in our heart a hope or expectation is garbed in corner place, when a need arise we simply unveil it and just be what we are, ourselves, this is acid test. Surprisingly most of the contenders fail in it, because we over hype our expectations and results are always under scored. So culprit is within us, we search it in others and tend to get offended or even neglect them for not catering to our demands.

If we take close in the first instance, the one which is in blood relation, like one who is grown old as we grow. Or, it is one who gets knot to you into a relation, then it contradicts the first one, the person is not in a blood relation or grown with you. Let’s assume it is close relation but you don’t care for each other, rather the couple is distant to self. The logic of who is distant is between the lines, one need to read it.

What is more important is close knit relation than a distant affair. If one has feel and care for other person, love and affection for each other is unconditional then it’s a close relation. Not to clarify here that those in marital status are separated only by a paper document produced in front of third person, fought by fourth and fifth and verdict awaited to understand what shall be the status of once that was a close relation.

It’s dramatic to quote here that a better example of knotted relation would be something like a disease which builds inside a body stays there and dies with it, pathetic but that worst example fits aptly here. What to quote of termite that stays in the wooden trunk of tree keeps eating it day in day out and lives there till the tree lives it life.
