It is thought that wisdom comes with age. But may be realizations doesn’t wait for any age. Experiences can be collected along the path of life. All of us come across many such instances in our lifetime, but few of us take notice of them. Young though I may be, over the years I have had such epiphanies. And I have always tried to follow them; for the sake of inner peace.
(i) Trust is costly, it is to be spent with judiciousness :- Trust is perhaps at the same time the best and worst thing. Trust a right person and you will have someone to cherish. But put your trust in a wrong person and you give him/her the deadliest weapon. It hurts a lot to see your trust broken. But then, this life would not have been the same without a bit of pain.
(ii) Love freely :- Clearly, this world needs love. There is too much animosity and hatred here. Spreading love can be a way to make this world a better place to live in. Love adds color to the world. It brightens up things. And yet, love hurts.It can rip us apart.Still, love freely.
(iii) Find time to stand and stare :- The world will cease to be an interesting place the moment we will stop looking at it with wonder. So, like my mother always says, it is very important sometimes to simple stand and stare.
