These are the times where people are busy in their professions, have no time to roam, and free to take decisions where no one would counter their decision. But, the question is, are they free to do so? Are they busy in achieving something that is valuable? Those were the times where people always use to interact happily, where a person has time to do something for others, and where one shows their duty towards their nation. Those were the times where people use to roam not only a particular destination but along with that, use to enjoy the way they use to travel without any speedy transportation. Those were the times where people use to manage the things sophistically. Those were the time where one would freely live a life, no selfishness thinking what he would get out of it.
Comparing those days, are we living that happy life? Are we living a “joie de vivre” life? Are we not finding our benefit in any doings? Are we not getting into altercations even if that matter is out of the box, just due to our internal provocations? Are we spending the time after whom we need to pay?
Putting the complicated things easier, we have seized our enjoyment and our aim to live a happy life compare to that we were living before. The only goal to live a life has been transformed and changed. The ambition for everyone has become to earn money. Isn’t it? It’s not like people before were not crazy to make money, but they knew the difference between their need and desire. To earn money is the need of people and desire to earn money has forced people to become greedy. Yes! It would be shocked to know that how could one become greedy, it depends on a person. Yes, I agree, but nowadays people don’t get satisfaction. If a watchman is earning 8000 bucks per month, if he gets 10,000 bucks, he would leave his current job. Anil Ambani, if making 10000000 bucks, still he aims high to achieve more. In the both case, it’s not like both were not able to fill their desire to the amount they were earning before. It’s because money has led people to think so. They both have not decided their satisfaction level. Because with the surge in the desire to earn money, people go on increasing their desire list. Their desire becomes their needs, and finally, we run after completing that desire indirectly or directly.
It’s not like we are not aware of the time that is running. We are very well conscious of these, but still, we are not able to come out of it because everyone use to think in the same way and so eventually, that becomes custom, and for new generations, it would be a tradition. In Ramayana, Ravan had its Lanka made up of gold, and due to the power of that and power of an ego, it leads to the destruction of himself and his land. It’s not like one can’t live without a lot of money. Even Warren Buffet is considered to be one of the richest men; still, he lives in 2 BHK. It depends on how you aim to live life happily or unsatisfactorily. We always come to several people who are wealthy, but think peacefully, are they healthy? Do they possess time that could be spent to live a happy life? Then how can we say that they are wealthy? The money they are earning goes in vain as it gets compensated in curing the disease they possess. On the other hand, you see people having not so much of money but only has limited which is their required amount living a joyful and happy life. They are meant to live a happy life free from any disease.
Now, it reminds me of a time when India was called to be the country of “Sone ki chidiya.” The time when we were not rich by possessing gold (let it be Lanka for that), but due to the quality of people and the ancient collections that India has; due to the historical places that it has; due to the freedom fighter and patriotic leader it has and due to democracy it has. The conclusion to these discussions is that to live life happily, let’s all try to live in our way, in the way one feels peace and satisfaction. Reading these blog won't helps you, but implementing it would take you to the summit.
