Worldly glasses

For a long time, I have looked at the world with my egoistic glasses on. Hence my world view largely depended on my judgement - of what is right and wrong, of what is appropriate and inappropriate - and my view was largely self centered.

Not very long ago, a shift happened - a shift that made me realize the significance of empathy as a way of life. The shift was very natural and gradual(an overnight one would have been too steep to handle), and slowly the egoistic glasses dissolved. The world became beautiful, and the not-so-nice human race became humane.

It is definitely not necessary that everybody who lives in this planet and bumps into me need to accept my POV or accept my way of living. I do not do that. Everybody has a right to live life their own way, and can be happy doing so unless they unnecessarily mess up other's life and theirs too in the process. Even in that an empathetic outlook helped. Everybody is human, so they are entitled to their flaws and misgivings.

The shift is still in process and I often seem to slip behind the habit of the egoistic glasses. A little bit of awareness helps me to take off those and be the usual, natural empathetic self.

The inspirers...

This blog is solely the inspiration of my dear friend, Rita. We've known each other for about 18 years now(!!!) and she stays miles apart...but the inspiration flows...and so here is the blog on energies.

Life, the way I am beginning to see it, is a lovely dance of cosmic energy. And everything around is just a manifestation of the same cosmic energy. Of course we'd like to believe that all that we like is definitely cosmic energy in full force, but all that we don't...nah...the silly cabbie, and my bully of a boss...no way....

And here's the disclaimer...all that I write are just my observations and experiences...and you may definitely wish to differ because yours may be wonderfully different from mine...
