Life teaches us many lessons. It can be
likened to a web that surrounds us posing as a network of strands. It contains
various things that stick to the individual strands. There are times when the
strand is strong enough to hold on to what falls on its way.
Sometimes a heavy
object comes through and the strand would break. At that time, we are
enlightened and to our astonishment the situation was created by the absence of
strand and not the presence of it.
It turns out that in our life we turn a
blind eye towards things that we take for granted. We do not realize their
usefulness, potential, benefit until a point in time when we do not have them
anymore.
Thus it is rightly said “When the well’s dry, we know the worth of
water”. We are so entangled within our daily chores, gossiping, warmongering,
preaching others how to lead their lives and other exciting things that we lose
sight of what is relevant to ourselves. We fail to notice that which is
important to us, our own self.
And life’s learning doesn’t always
occur in calm waters. It hits us hard when we stand in the timeline and look
back upon our deeds. The harsh reality dawns upon us then but it would be too
late.
We would be embarrassed to recognize the exploitation done, misery
caused, downfall bestowed upon ourselves as a result of our own actions. Before
the situation goes out of hand, let us learn to realize the worth of our dear
ones – animate or inanimate, appreciate their existence and reciprocate our
goodwill.
