"Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder"
Our planet is the same as it was in the time of our forefathers. Whatever ugliness has crept in has been the work of man himself. The general erosion of values, morals care for the environment that we see around us -- who is responsible for it all -- man or nature ? Nature is as bountiful, beautiful and as wonderful as it has been. The sunset, the moon rise, the sleeping child; few things are common place in nature. It is our reaction to them that has grown dull because of our busy, stranded and competitive lives .
Life has never been endlessly sweet and happy. It has joy and sorrow; pain and pleasure, achievement and failure. We can be glad it is so; because if it were not so, there would be no great literature, no great music, no great art. And who wants a world with no Shakespeare, no Beethoven, no Michelango.
Now, a special word for people who tend to take life too seriously, feel thing too deeply, who allow themselves to be so obsessed by the evil and injustice in the society. It is right that we should be concerned but we must never allow these evils to obsess us, because it is not only the lives of others that are important, our lives are important too. They were given to us so that we could enjoy them. One should not let anything become an obsession for him as it destroys the beauty and happiness of life. Cherish above all your senses of humour, if you lose that you are in a grave danger of losing your cause too.
Those who call the world devoid of any delight might have signed the death warrant of innate goodness of mankind. Admist all the evils of corruption, terrorism and fanaticism and intolerance raising their heads in different forms in different parts of the country and the world, the eternal springs of human compassion and kindness have not gone dry. For every Bin Laden, Mohammad Azhar, Ajmal Kasab we have a Baba Amte, an Anna Hazare, a sister Nirmala etc. The work of good men is like a vein of water flowing hidden underground secretly making the ground greener.
Happiness is like a butterfly which when pursued is out of your grasp but which if you sit down quietly may alight upon you. It depends more upon what you can give not on what you can get.
Change is the inevitable truth of human existence. Some changes are bound to be bad but they cannot decrease the delight of existence in the world.
The world as it is today is to be our battlefield, our workplace. We have to do our best with what we have and should not fret over the things which we have not.If man so desires he can bring about a quality change in the life we lead today because the most powerful weapon on earth is the human soul on fire. If man reforms himself the earth will be automatically reformed and will become a delightful place to in.
