The opposites to harmony

What seems right in my life seems wrong to you. A situation we all face right from childhood or rather from the time we are born. A few opposites we all live with.

Parents seem all happy and glorious that they have got their score card ticking; people worried about population see the seconds and the birth rate matching each other yet again.

As a young kid you proactively do something hoping the elders at home will say, “good job” and all you can hear is “why did you have to do this”.

As a kid you keep asking your parents to buy you something or the other, but as you grow old when your old parents buy you something you even fail to recognize it.

As a grown up with all true feelings of love you look at the ONE you love and say, “I love you”, and with utter disgust she says, “you are disgusting”.

Mother feels extremely proud about her son, ironically your wife feels why is this mother still so possessive about her son.

A poor man tries to stitch up his clothes to make sure he does not look shabby, and a rich man wears torn jeans to look cool.

As a poor man you struggle all your life to join the rich mans club but a rich man in his circle feels lonelier as he gets richer.

A spiritual person sees god in everything an atheist sees nothing in god.

This list of opposites is endless. Slowly if you look deeper into each human transaction listed above you will see that all this is the game of perceptions. I perceived something good for me but does it become my fault that others don’t perceive it that way.

All this is nothing but a clear definition of how this world is a place of perspectives and everything around us supports these perspectives we form. More often than not the reason why we laugh at the past is that our perception of that incident has changed, because the support system telling us what is right and what is wrong has changed.

Pull yourself out from these support systems and you will realize that the smile that you see today thinking of that incident existed then as well, but we did not recognize it. Harmony to your life arrives when you start recognising this world of opposites, seeing life outside of this help you move on and recognize the beauty of living.
