My Last Post Got Deleted :((
Well, I just have me to blame! I had started on my previous post ages back and just for the reason that I could not give it any satisfactory conclusion, I kept postponing it. Now I have no other go but to suffer losses. In any case, I decided to be less finicky about my posts and be a little more spontaneous and well, prompt in completing what I start.
So here I am going to attempt to answer the question, "Why am I so fond of talking about profound issues that our lives are enmeshed in". I think it goes back to the time when I started these conversations with my pal, who was a pyschology student, completely passionate about her subject. We discussed things about how we as individuals had been influenced by every circumstance we had been in and how that had shaped us, and our lives now. She used to read up new books every other day, which concerned her subject. And I used to borrow them from her, even if for a few hours, and read up and more importantly, absorb, all I could. I remember one book that made a significant impact on me. It was on the subject of Anger Management and I learnt and understood how pent-up emotions were detrimental to one's emotional health and hence their personality and most other aspects of their life. Those things were just the beginning. They say that "when the student is ready, the teacher will appear". For me, this translated into coming across people with whom I was able to discuss more such issues. Learn and understand myself better, with each passing day.
I learnt that difficulties make you evolve as a person and the sooner you learn the lesson its meant to give you, the faster they will fade away. Of course, growth is constantly happening and hence problems will continue to arise. Every issue that stops concerning you(and you have grown over), will cease to come back into your life. And as you learn to not let them affect you and keep moving on, you will move into a higher level of awareness.
I have learnt that every person and each situation you come across is meant to give you a message. There is a reason why things happen and if you look beyond the obvious, then there's lots you'll marvel in life!
I enjoy the awareness cos it gives you a chance to look beneath the superficial existence and enjoy higher learning and growth. After all, what can be more wondrous than life's wonder! Of course, all of this doesnt mean that I am not intrigued anymore, or that there isn't more to learn. Infact, I work on keeping the curiosity alive and being open to fresh new perspectives. A dose of a "book, discussion, blog, new thought" is more than welcome, whenever its attempting to search the answer to a penetrating question like the one i tried, in this post!
