When I weigh 1 kilo lesser………

I am right now thinking about all those family people I came across until today. Some have been lucky others not so lucky. The major problem I perceive is that they compared with each other on the scale of beauty, monetary gains, economic stability, education of their children compared to other people in family. They were not selfish but aimed high, they have set high standards……nothing wrong with that!!

Then what is wrong? They did not internalize, did not work toward goal setting and accomplishment, they just hoped that they become better than others and hoped that some misfortune happens to others so they could put their head high and prove themselves better.

I am not being harsh, I love them. Then if they get some time alone, they will now think what is right.

Our happiness doesn’t depend upon other people’s misfortune or vested interests, like if we impressed the other person through our personality ethic which is probably our imagination. Again everyone has a right to be happy, the right way when it comes to family cohesiveness, unselfish desire to be together, happy at what others have accomplished, discuss their misfortune and counsel each other to come out of depression and be OK with a lesser than or a more than.

Love (not imposing) because as we earn respect, we earn love in the family and at least the family matters, who cares about others?

It is not only my family, as I have shared anecdotes with friends who are in a similar fix.

My point is to live every single day falling in love with yourself, your family, your colleagues, your friends, your work, your people and be of help that which if not possible just pray. My uncle has an end stage Gall Bladder cancer, may be it means something like loving him and hoping for his painless demise. It is time to get the family together because as long as we are alive we need to identify with them and have a healthy relationship with people around us. Many might say grow up, but friends I like the child in me who gets boosts of emotions at watching my mother smile….just an example. If they cannot get together, they at least must share a good will for each other and end unhealthy depression.

If you have no money, it is OK to live simply, if you are just a graduate….scope is high to improve your credentials, read and write away your thoughts and may be try to solve complexity innocently and emotionally. Because among friends and family rationality doesn’t exist. Enjoy the beauty of your negative emotions as they are naturally human, seek help and improve to have a great family story.
