Live your life, don't race!

Yes it's true that Nineteenth century was a century of plight for the Indians in terms of poverty, starvation, epidemic, slavery, illiteracy and exploitation. But sometimes I feel people were still happy in the confinement of their homes and their neighborhood till the time they lived, even in the scarcity and adversity. There was still a mental peace and harmony. Today this we lack a lot. Then I believe there would be hardly one in thousands who was having the psychiatric problems, today almost every other person can be found with this disorder in some way or other.

One reason of this I believe is our blind race towards achieving something that has got no end. It's just watching the one before us and running after him to overtake him some day. Once that person is overtaken, you are left with no option but to overtake the other person and this becomes a never ending race and at the last phase of the career, it seems how so long we run, there would always be someone ahead of us. And then we turn back to look what we gained and what we lost, we find we lost many precious things that money can't buy. Then we feel the thirst of getting those things that we missed during those precious years, but fail to get those as the opportunity was lost forever. Then comes the time when we just regret and regret and time gallops us with the urge still afresh in our minds on our death beds.

Friends always remember we are temporary, this earth is permanent, this sun is permanent, this land we live on is permanent, the air that we breathe is permanent. Each and every moment that we have is ours till our last breathe comes and nobody knows when it comes. Live your life, don't race!
