This New Year has brought in lots of news that had me looking for some realistic solutions. I admit it isn't that easy to even take the first step which is making myself do it.
When someone who means a lot to you, who has sacrificed a lot and for whom there will be no replacement in life suddenly bids you fare well forever - it gives me a jerk. Not knowing whether this person really left forever.
It would be a lie if I say "I am thinking about my Father a lot". Because since my college days, we didn't get to spend much time as he was the bread earner in the family and away most of the time. He had to look after all of us.But now that he can not be present in sharing any of my achievements, I wish he's there to know and hear. He would be so happy just by being there.
His silent departure from our world made me think a lot about my role as a human being on this Earth. The sole reason of my presence and being in each person's life- realizing we are all entangled together.
I push myself to take time and understand that from many life's mien, one of the most pivotal thing is also to count your contributions towards other people's happiness and to think about how you wish yourself to depart from this world. Contributing towards others' happiness will also make you happy and contented.
Make an effort to enrich yourself with good thoughts and patience. It isn't easy but it is worth a try. My Father is known to many people as a good human being. And I am proud he's my father in this lifetime. Every time I think of him, I pray that he be reborn as a human being and May I get the chance to repay back everything he did for me.
