Sometimes the immediate solution to our problems may prove unhealthy for us in long term. Thus, we should not look for solutions to our situations, but right conduct. How much difficult it may be in our current situation, only right attitude can give us lasting peace and happiness. This can be applied to our daily lives. Sometimes we get hurt by people around us, anger fills in and we want to give back, I still sometimes do that, but the real response to such things is try not to react. That help us to retain our composure and contain the complex conditions before us. Storms pass, people calm down but since, we have not given them anything ugly that they can remember about us, they have no option but to be good to us eventually :)
And that brings me to a quote from my poem Karma and Fate, written by Piyush and me.

Self proclaimed member of Lord Of The Rings (LOTR) cult had me in splits.
ReplyDelete''Life is small in grudge and sorrow..but very small in each tomorrow." Loved these lines Roohi.
Glad to make you happy, Somali :)
DeleteTrue :) There is something that brings all things together in the end. The same is the case of revenge. Fate does have a say :)
ReplyDeleteI agree that seeking revenge gives rise to a vicious circle. The only way to break it is let go!
Delete"Even the wise cannot see all the ends." Very true :)
ReplyDeleteThat's why a wise is the one who should keep an open mind and always remain humble, Ravish.. :)
DeleteWhere do I post my q
ReplyDeleteuote? It has to be one quote each day? Please educate me - abhiray59@yahoo.co.in
Put out the first one. Nominated two. Two more days to go.
DeleteAll the best, Sir :)
DeleteThat is so profound Roohi :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks Archie :)
DeleteAwesome quote...I am yet to see LOTR :( more a reason I get to it now :)
ReplyDeleteWatch it Shweta, it's an epic and I get hooked to it even today if I find it being played on any channel :)
DeleteDitto as SHWETA.. I too have not seen LOTR ... And yes loved it - even the wise can't see all the ends .
ReplyDeleteWatch it Kokila, these kind of movies are reason why I got swayed away from Bollywood!
DeleteFood for thought. Brings to mind Krishna's discourse to Arjuna on a related subject.
ReplyDeleteWell, Krishna's quote is about duty. In war, it is about survival. You can't avoid killing else you would be killed. Incidentally, LOTR is full of wars and romance of valor. :) but this quote is about the time when good is strong and evil is weak..
DeleteA self-proclaimed member of LOTR...hmmm I never thought in this line..will ponder now... :-D
ReplyDeleteA powerful and profound quote, especially loved the last two lines... :-)
I am a self-proclaimed member of many such cults, Mani. I don't join any group officially as I love my freedom to believe or not to be believe.. :)
DeleteEven the wise cannot see all ends. I completely agree, Roohi.
ReplyDeleteThanks Rachna.. :)
DeleteI love your quote on Karma, Love and Life, particularly the last two lines. It is so meaningful.
ReplyDeleteCheers :)
I should Thank you for that Salvwi for nominating me for a challenge..
DeleteAn interesting take on capital punishment.
