It was said, “write your glory on marble and sorrow on sand”...don’t think of it so anymore...
In its place if we write our sorrow on sand on a sea shore, anyways the waves would simply wash it way giving ourselves a feeling that the hurt has gone away from us. Suppose we write something wonderful like the word ‘love’ or somebody’s name on a beach, the waves won’t be taking it away but making it a part of something vast like sea (so it is not static, so that it does not belong to a small space on beach but a big sea or perhaps even bigger celestial when it forms clouds)
Disputed -piece of land, pot of money and its cost:
Someone has 100 bucks. He goes to a restaurant, and has a meal costing 75. Remaining 25, he spends on dessert. But for someone else those 25 bucks may mean one time food in a day that is spent on bun and some dips and thus quench hunger. To say it differently, for one it is luxury and for another it is necessity.
There is fight over the possessions in the world ... If there are two parties involved, and if both want same thing then it would give way to clash. Alternatively, let one of them step back and that would be the end of differences. Economics says, ‘wants’ are insatiable however, it is so only if we are greedy and never if we are generous. Owning a piece of land or converting it into a big pot of money may secure our future but is it absolute? And it is a gain at what cost and how much of disruption? Priorities change: what is important for us today and as years roll on will not be same
Life is very generous. “In life we may get a pie more but not a pie less than what we deserve/destined to get.”
If we rise to the level of selflessness and decide to give away there are numerous ways to do that and numerous things to contribute; money, gift, time to an NGO, Knowledge... Easiest stuff will be to donate a part of monthly earning to right cause and get a feedback acknowledging the proper use of the offering. It is believed, what we give away will come to us in many folds. Better still, giving away is noble and keeping it selfless – (and) a personal responsibility.
Ironic but true...there is poverty amidst plenty and plenty amidst (in) poverty.
