PARADOXICALLY SPEAKING,
WHO THE HELL IS IT
WHOM I LIKE ?
Many events happen in life. Most of them - are not according to our Plan.
People come into our life. People go out of our Life.
Likewise, we get into others' lives. We get out of others' lives.
We can easily see this incessant, NON-STOP Journey on a linear time-path, which is going on - all the time.
We enter into this time-path somewhere, some time - and we go out of this path, somewhere, some time.
There is no other time-path - that we can get into.
It is a totally choice-less path.
Our birth is not the beginning of the path. Nor is our death the end of it. This path is an infinite one.
What was happening before our Birth - we do not know. There are no Doors into that past. There is no backward Journey allowed on this path.
Likewise, we have no Doors into the future. We can't see the world how it will be one second later - one second in advance. When it comes, we are in it. As simple as that. We can't live anything in Advance. Fast forward journey also is not allowed on this path.
If you are 16 or 65 - you are that. You can't be older or younger by a second NOW. There is no such choice for us.
Did we choose our Parents - or ancestors - or, place of birth - or time of birth - or colour of our skin - or our genetic make up (intelligence-health-diseases etc) - or brothers and sisters - or relations - or mother tongue - or religion - or just about anything of us - what did we choose as our genetic baggage and environmental baggage?
SIMPLY NOTHING ! We came into this world with no choice what so ever !!
And yet, we fight each other - or befriend a few - just on one or the other of these choice-less labels pasted on us at the time of birth !!!
Right now - How many friends do I have with whom my friendship is total - without any arguable differences?
There is none in this world with whom I have no differences of opinion - on one or the other aspects with which he and I are born -
I don't like "his religion" - because, my "BOOK" says so - or, my priest says so - or my co-religionists say so -
And, because, I don't like his religion, I don't like him (& all of them) too. This is so with the vast majority of the people, like me and him.
In today's world, most conflicts happen because of this factor. When will we stop them? I don't see it happening for the next 100 years.
I am proud of my place of Birth. I don't like any other place of Birth. Because of this, I am unable to like most people on earth. I can't like people of my neighbouring districts, neighbouring states and neighbouring countries. All of them have qualities I don't like at all. I don't like them - even if they belong to my religion, because, they are not from my place of Birth. They can't share the waters of the river flowing through my birth place, nor the electricity, nor any thing from my place.
I am proud of my language, though I do not know it fully; or even, sufficiently. But, my language is great. That I know. so, I don't like other languages. So, I don't like people who speak those languages - even if they are of my religion or from my place.
I am proud of caste, though, it may not have any great specialty today. I do not many people of my caste, but, I am proud of my caste. I don't do any thing that my caste people are supposed to do. But, I am proud of my caste. For this reason, I don't like people of other castes - even if they belong to my religion, my language or my place of birth.
I don't like the colour of others' skin - for different reasons. Not that, I am able to like the colour of my skin. When a fairer person passes by me, I dislike him/her. When a person not as fair as I am passes by me, I dislike him/her also. I don't like them - even if they belong to my caste and my religion, my language and my place of birth.
I used to like the persons of the opposite sex - for no apparent reason. They look better, treat me better (or worse) - or so I thought - for some reason, I liked them - and wanted their company. A few months after I kept their company, I found them not to my liking.
I am still searching for a person - at least one person - whom I can wholeheartedly and completely like for at least a few years.
Can I succeed?
The way I am, You know I can never succeed. Nor can you - if you are like me. But, You are not like me.
If you are like me - can I perhaps like You ???
Paradoxically speaking -
= Yours
