just that the way life takes us through is so intimidating sometimes, pushing ur boundaries more and more. there are so many things we want to do in our lives, there just isn't enough time, is there? and then comes the unexpected and the unwanted class of problems called diseases which eats in more into our time, so...... Great!!! the time just got lesser.
its pretty interesting to see that a way not to get frustrated is to see that it gives u a lot of time to rest, but the discomfort of going through it all? funny, that we sometimes need diseases to listen to our systems and stop pushing them finally. a lot of times, obliging to others makes us kill ourselves and pushes us beyond the edge just like that, that too when least see it coming.
you know? there's a very nice story. there was once a little boy who was taught to always help others, and be good and to be a useful person to the society, and so he was. he grew up to be a very responsible and nice person, very helping. he learnt that helping others gets you good karma, but conveniently forgot to help himself too. on a fine sunny day, he decided to take a walk, an exercise he wasn't used to. halfway through the walk he collapsed and realised he couldn't breathe anymore.
that's when at the age of sixty five did he finally realise the meaning of the other half of the conveniently forgotten lesson he learnt as a child- to work on urself also so that you are strong enough to help others. it took that man sixty years and a massive cardiac arrest to realise this.
helping others is good, but unnecessarily slogging ur own system expecting it will repair itself is dumb. respecting others wants and needs is important, so is respecting ur own. a good healthy body is like the lifeline of a helping heart. together, they achieve the highest.....
