This Mad Race goes on and on… Sometimes intention of Deer succeeds and sometimes Lion’s intention succeeds.

Though this seem to be a very simple story,I think it has a profound meaning. This jungle story also happens in our human society.

The entire society runs and entities of the society we human beings, run believing that our intentions will succeed that day.

But as its all a relative theory, one’s success also means some one’s loss. For instance, Real Estate person’s dream of transforming a small area around a forest might affect the dream of a Man who tries to conserve forest.

On one weekday in the past week, When someone said, “don’t you know this simple technique?” I felt guilty after that question doing nothing for some two hours or so, until this sudden realisation happened.

If I have to feel guilty for things I don’t know, then the whole life time would not be sufficient enough to get rid of this guilt feeling.

So, the realisation in essence is that, I should not waste time feeling guilty when some one provokes me, rather it would be better if I try to catch up with learning the needed techniques to work effectively.

 Thoughts I admired this week:

Kannadhasan, a famous tamil poet,once said a story of a Man to explain enlightenment. Here goes the story of that Man

A Man was surrounded by so many problems in life and he finds all his endeavours to solve them to be unfruitful,at one fine moment, when he realized that he cannot do anything ,he shouts louder the word “oh…” and started laughing contiously … Kannadhasan says this Man is enlightened.

As I grew up, most people (especially those involved in personal development) stated that one’s self image is very important and how good one feels about himself is the key to success.

These two thoughts seemed contradicting to each other and after contemplating on this, I feel self image and ego are somewhat synonymous to each other.

So my understanding now is that one of the important keys to personal development is to have this ego(or good self image), albeit I believe when this ego becomes too strong that it can hurt other people around, then it would have a negative effect on personal devlopment.
