Life and Care

Life-the most wonderful gift of God. It is abstract, it is precious,yet we always take it for granted; leave it to be governed at fate's discretion. We never realize how far we go from ourselves and our own self: so far that we fail to recognize even ourselves.

"What is this life so full of care;
We have no time to stand and stare."

We often encounter people humming these lines. These are the people who regret their life; their living. But do you realize when and how this care became a burden?

Aren't we born to care- care for our parents, our friends, sisters, brothers, family and then children, grandparents and all. We take this as a liability but think of the pleasure it brings to the one being cared for and to you as well. When you love someone or something its care is a pleasure but when you don't it appears a burden. Why do we do so? To be loved and cared for is what every human seeks. When you love you get love. And when you dont how can you expect to have so? Here the words of Mark Twain come rushing down the memory lane from my class-10th English Literature book. He remarks-" Work is anything we do not want to do and play that we want to. That is why threading a needle is work while climbing Mount Blanc is fun."

So all we need to do is change our attitude; to change our perspective towards whatever we do. And then of course life will no longer be a burden.....and we definitely will have time to stand and stare...
