Just to share a pasing thought...



I strongly believe that every one we meet as walk the road of life, is a teacher in one or the other way. And each person comes into your life to teach you something and learn something from you. Your experience with him teaches you something and likewise, his experience with you teaches him something. And these two things will never be the same nor is it necessary that each one of us will learn something consciously.
It depends solely on a person, what he wants to extract out of every situation. It is upto a person to feel joy or despair in the best or worst of circumstances.
Similar is the case with a book. When 2 people read the same book, it is not necessary that they will understand the text in the same context. The reason is that both the people are standing at different points on the road of life.
Getting back to the point, I was saying that everyone is a teacher. Then why do we hate people who give us difficult lessons??? Why is the lack of faith in destiny that whatever is happening is happening is happening for good??
It is amusing to see people blame each other for being hurt, cursing others, hating others, etc.
I understand that, when something goes wrong, you are hurt. You put your blame on your freind, the circumstances, destiny, God, etc. and move on. But by doing that we throw away the lesson our teacher intended to give to us.
A break up with a bf/gf or betrayal of a trusted friend: these are the best examples. Why hate these people who took the evil on their name to teach you something that you needed to learn. These people have done you a favour, the best of your friends wouldn't do for you. I sincerely think that these people do not deserve your hatred at all. They deserve respect.
The more you will hate these people, the worse you will feel about yourself. So, by not hating them and respecting them as teachers, recognizing the lesson and accepting them with love, you' ll do yourself a big favour.
I will not ask you to forgive them, because you do not forgive your teachers, you respect them. And by showing respect and love for these people, you'll show faith in the universe and with faith in destiny and love, you can can conquer the world.

  1. hey... that was a nice lesson learnt.
    but you know what, don't let yourself learn lessons that hurt you so much and make it hard for you to move on..
    learn the good lessons that don't rob you off your innocence, and move on taking the bad ones too without letting them even a single scratch on your heart and learning lessons will not be so difficult after all...

  2. For once i thought i m reading shiv khera.....
    You reminded me of my history teacher. She was always ready with lessons.
    I can't disagree with any of it. I took the lesson from the user manual. I've got to believe in taking lessons from every scintilla. The respect I have for you just got manifolded.

  3. i m agree with the first point...life itself is the greatest teacher we have...but rest of the things are quite idealistic....human beings are supposed to behave under their limitations....i mean emotions like love, hatred...make an important part of our behavior...we can't escape them...and we should not..if we do so..then probably we would lose the taste of life...also we should learn to forgive...because that will lessen the burden on our heart...the burden of being hurt by our closed ones..
