Why do reactions come only after something has happened? Can't we react before that actually occurs? Seems a little odd, no? Since the reaction ONLY follows the action, right? YES...RIGHT but NOT RIGHT.. It actually varies, depending on SITUATIONS.
We shout at our maid only after she breaks our precious chinaware, not before, agreed? BUT can't we forewarn her beforehand itself? Better still, can't we avoid giving it to her?
I consider these too as REACTIONS and in a way, they ARE. Yes?
I recently lost my younger brother, seven years junior to me. Young, dashing, a tall and handsome lad, a jovial company with a keen sense of humour, and extremely carefree about his health. Never took his health conditions seriously though he saw his Doctor periodically, did not heed some of his advice and maintained a casual approach towards life.
Not because he didn't have a loving family - they doted on him. Nor because he was not well-off or successful - he was Heading a unit of a well known company. But because he thought the distress signals were not to be taken seriously as he was too young to be affected at his age.
Really sad and most unfortunate, a major shock for the entire family, friends and colleagues.
I fully accept and believe what our Scriptures say. I know this is the rule of nature and am aware of destiny and its regulations.. Anybody who takes birth has to leave too.. Everybody's end is already decided.. What has to happen, will happen.. and ALL.
Agreed, but that DOES NOT mean that if I am a heart patient with high blood sugar levels, I should indulge in all the sweet and fried goodies available!!!
We must be rational, disciplined and caring, first two for ourselves. and last for 'ours' - those whose world starts with us and shatters without us.
IF ONLY my brother had taken care of himself.. If ONLY I had exercised the rights of an elder sister and had been firm with him.. IF ONLY . . .
Let me tell you all, that this feeling of IF ONLY haunts you throughout your life, the intensity being directly proportional to the closeness you shared with the Departed Soul.
