ఆలోచనల స్రవంతి -39

When you are going through a happy phase in life which gives you satisfaction the time just flies and when you are going through a rough patch in life, no logic, nothing helps. During this rough patch there will be so many quotes to read, so many formulae to apply, so many people to advice and there will be so many “so many”. You will try the analysis of your zodiac, check for the stones you need to wear, do the rituals to cool the planetary adversities. Afterwards you feel that your attitude is not allowing you to get better. Even you try yoga to get the grip. You will try to follow as many as possible of those “so many” but the situations never get better. You will be just sucked into the vortex of life. The frustrations will go beyond your limit and everything seems to be incorrigible.

Out of so many quotes you can have a quote like “Remember there are no real failures in life, only results-No true tragedies, only lessons-And there really are no problems, only opportunities waiting to be recognized as solutions by the person of wisdom” and one of the so many formulae like “Change your attitude which is 100%” and many people starting from Father, Mother, Wife, Friends, Colleagues etc., will give you counseling and advices ranging from career options to food intake. The stones you wear, the rituals you perform will just boost up your confidence that something good is going to happen which is termed as “hope”. The flow in that phase takes you to have conclusions, your own definitions on life and their applications for better or for worse. And you try to propagate those views and definitions resulting out of the experiences of this phase and your understanding, you term it as “wisdom”.

Happy phase doesn’t ask for logic but this bad phase definitely forces you to think of reasons. In normal understanding of life you cannot find the answer and if you go to saints they call it as “Karma” and modern science doesn’t have a definition for this. This karma again pulls you into a lengthy discussion on providence, free will etc., which doesn’t help.

All said and done we cannot fathom the intriguing nature of this. Somehow we get adjusted with a hue and cry because human has an inherent quality to analyze and adapt. This I am talking about a normal person with normal IQ just surfing on the waves of economy and environment.

Is there a plane skipping into which you can come out of that phase  -If you start about this then there is no end and you will end up with more scientific theories like string theory etc., and conclusions also very hypothetical, so let us not talk about the planes and dimensions.

Then is it simply changing perspectives you come to a conclusion? To some extent this seems to be OK but further let us try to think and analyze what will be the simple reasons to term it as a bad phase in life. The two simple reasons are physical ailment and mental agony. If these two are not there then there will be no bad phase which is next to impossible. But you can subside the bad phase to a maximum by following simple solutions.

The physical ailments to some extent depend upon the cycles of change in environment –If that is directly due to changes in the universe then there is nothing to say, but whatever is in our hands we can do –like not to play with the green house effect etc., to some extent safeguards our environment and can control physical ailments. We can try to create the awareness which can postpone the doom to some time.

Regarding mental agony it can be cleared to some extent if there are people with sympathy to share your grief and give solutions and help you in time of need instead of mere advices. It is more driven by society with moral construct which is in our hands.

So let me conclude that “Happiness is everybody’s prerogative and a collective responsibility”.

PS: After writing this thought line I left it for two days and again went through it –It seemed that I am telling nothing new whatever is written by me earlier same thing I felt I am repeating. Anyhow I am leaving it for the reader’s discretion of how he feels about it.
