Live Life or Lead Life? A Question to Conquer

Hello Friends! It has actually been very long time I have come back to this website. Not that I am handling worldly issues but then was little busy at my level of work. However, I made it a point I would snatch a little time from my hustle bustle life because I completely believe that life has to be lived not lead.



The reason why I strongly believe that is, this year has definitely made me more mature (not that I was immature all these years) with more experiences that were nothing short of a tattoo impression. I would say these experiences are sour on taste but have been immensely helpful in designing my life and outlook.



The biggest fear or the biggest challenge in life for any living being is Death. No calamity is as comparable as this; we live for an unpredictable time and bunch of unexpected issues are inevitable being one of the pillars of life, we are busy travelling thousands of miles every day for fabricated life and in this process I am sure we are missing out those beautiful scenes of life which we all have to enjoy for being born as human beings.



I am sure, at this juncture many questions would pop up how do we experience those beautiful scenes without money? Yes, I agree to an extent that money is the fuelling agent, but there are also few simple things in life which are often priceless. Keeping our phones and technology aside and having a cup of coffee at our house with our own people would definitely cost us nothing. We know it, but most of the times we try to squeeze in coffee time with our professional schedules. I understand that distances are getting longer and travelling is leading to aggravated stress and irritations.



But friends, when we go back home, how many times we are able to allocate a dedicated time for toddlers at home. At this point, I am not able to stop myself from typing this real time experience. After a hectic work life, the other weekend I forcibly took a break to spend time with my 1 ½ year nephew. Must say, this is something I have done best in my life, I bought him a tricycle and I could not stop the tears rolling out of my eyes the moment I saw his excitement on his face, not that he would understand about tricycle, but definitely understood that it was something meant for him.



In the beginning I have mentioned about death, since it is mentioned that no calamity is as big as this, why is that we often tend to sideline few pleasurable moments and give a chance to culminate certain emotions like animosity, furor, ending up in quarrels and become over protective. I am afraid how many of us can instantly recollect the phrase "Love Thy Neighbor".



Wake up people, we all know that there are umpteen avenues for communication, but nothing is as emotional as talking in person or writing a handwritten letter. I am sure many of us would say YES, at least in their hearts. But friends, spending time with our own people and often fulfilling simple things surely gives more kick than any of the achievements we do.



God Bless the Planet.
