Ohhh.......IT HURTS......!!!
LOOK at the heading once again ..........ohh... it hurts .
The line itself signifies the pain of expectations, the pain of negative patterns, anxieties of thought arising by clinging to a fixed self or identity, which by its very nature is fluid or impermanent . Strong attachment to a sense of ego and identity has to be diminished, even overcome completely, because there is no cohesive self and moreover this personal attachment leads to psychological problems.
As we live we share our lives, our experiences with our friends and family, in return we get weight of our past experiences and association. NOW this weight generates EXPECTATIONS....and these expectations hurts!!!
When we overcome this attachment and its consequent wounds and realise the emotions in practical world, we awake to a healthy lightness and spaciousness that liberates us from clinging. It provides us a sense of freedom.
The reversal of suffering can be achieved only by practice of compassion, discipline, self-restraint, and above all, by changing of perspective.
The wider and more expansive the perspective is, the less the suffering will be.
We are all part of a whole web of interrelated social and ecological relationships that are not linear but mutually reinforcing. So we should not focus on the attachment to different elements; it should be the process of interrelationships.
With feelings of attraction or aversion, ego arises. There is a sense of something to defend, represent or enhance. But remember,
“Self is nothing by itself, it is actually interplay of aggregated elements”
By that i can say that we need to deconstruct our imagined self into its parts and live life without too much attachments because its the interplay that really matters.
We should learn to let go and not hold on to experiences and their constructions as they are here today and gone tomorrow and in a way, not real.
Yet it is also true that these experiences and their consequences including patterns of behaviour define our personality. These patterns arising right from our birth and through the story of our life create a strong impact on our mind and body, and in our belief and behaviour.
Our life fluctuates between the pain of desire on one side, and the boredom caused by the satisfaction of desire on the other.

TIME TO ACT IS NOWW.......!!!!
It has been declared by politicians cutting across party lines that the country is reeling under the worst drought conditions in decades . Talk of cultivation of drought resistant crops and improvising the varieties is heard only during a crisis and forgotten soon after . The trees continue to get cut , mountains and hills that offer physical resistance to moving clouds are corroding in the name of development............well the list goes on.........like decline in rainfall ,reduced availability of water and fodder , increasing temperatures - the biggest problems being faced at present scenario........
Is government responsible for all this , are politicians needed to be blamed for this .......well whether you say yes or no .....you are correct on both.......actually the problem is with our apathetic nature ..........it is our APATHY that prevents us from acting on most simple things that have a substantial impact on our ecosystem.
IF each n every person reading this article takes a little interest and contribute a bit from his side to the environment ,u just cant think about the change we can get.....
Every individual can plant a tree in his back/front yard and nurture it lifetime.
Switch off all the electrical appliances when not in use to save energy and start using energy saving devices. (NOW IMPORTANT !!! SOME PEOPLE USE TO SAY THAT THEY ARE PAYING FOR THIS IT DOESNT MATTER IF WE DONT SWITCH OFF....WE HAVE GIVEN MONEY AND WE WILL TAKE FULL USE OF THAT ....but frens it is the nature that decides whether YOU ARE PAYIN OR U WILL PAY FOR IT.......REMEMBER!!!) .
We can make a soak pit on our own premises to collect rain water.
We can minimise the usage of wooden based furniture and help in conserving forests.
Avoid using plastic as it has already choked our living space , recycle and re-use paper , water etc.
LET US NOT WASTE TIME ANY FURTHER ,BUT PUT OUR ACT TOGETHER SO THAT WE MAKE AN ATTEMPT TO MODERATE THE ONGOING DAMAGE , OR ELSE WE WILL FACE THE WORST AND UNPREDICTABLE FUTURE LIVING CONDITIONS.........
THANKS........
