Is Your Ego More Important Than Your Family?

The word 'ego' has different meanings for different people. For me, ego is a personality trait which is variable in everyone. Beginning from a 6 years old child to 70 years old adult, everyone has ego. Some inherit ego from their predecessors. Some acquire ego as they go ahead in life and as they face certain circumstances. Similarly, in some people ego evolves to become larger and larger as they approach 60-70 years of their age.

My question 'Is Your Ego More Important Than Your Family?' is to such people who have successfully completed 70 years of their life. Hence, their experience and their ego has increased manifold with their age. It's not the mistake of these people rather it's the ego working in their heart growing bigger and bigger day by day. Today, their ego has covered their eyes like a large cloud blurring the sight of a beautiful world they have around them. All their relationships, their dreams, their happiness have been dissolved in their ego. The greed for more and more to satisfy their ever growing ego has left them with no time to nurture their relationships with love and care.

Such people need to understand that satisfying their ego, their needs is not the end of the world. Even at the age of 70, they have responsibilities towards the family they have brought up. They cannot leave everything else behind just to satisfy their ego. They have to make efforts to keep their ego away from their relations, their family.

Can Free Times Be Boring ??

When we are busy, we crave for free times. We think if we would be free; we will party, we will travel, we will pursue our hobby, we will watch movies and all kind of such pleasant fantasies fill up our mind. That's because when we are busy our heart and mind are not at peace, they are constantly working. They need a break so it creates such plans automatically.

But when we are actually free, we don't feel the need to do anything. Why? Now, this is because when we were busy our mind was tired of work. Since its free now it wants to rest in the way a normal person would want. It doesn't want to travel, doesn't want to party, doesn't want to pursue any type of activity etc. In other words, it doesn't want to do any kind of work. Now, it only wants to relax and rest.

Here comes a conflict between the heart and the mind. The heart wants to do everything it couldn't when the mind was busy. It wants to fulfill each of its wish. But mind was busy earlier and therefore, it's tired now. The conclusion is that at most of the times mind wins this conflict because being tired of working itself, our body supports our mind.

The Journey Of Thoughts

The mind finally paved the way for its thoughts
The heart opened its gate for the emotions to flow
Because it came to know
That it was the right time
For the thoughts to align
In an order
And cross the borderline

So they were free
To move with joy and glee
To cover as many directions as they could
To move in circles and explore the woods
They were free
To capture more and more things
To spread out their wings

Soon they would have to come back all over
They will once again stack in an order
To create something beautiful altogether

Our Beliefs

An eye lash which falls from our eye symbolises our hope that maybe one of our wishes, our dreams will now be fulfilled.

But do such things really happen?
Can our wishes be fulfilled in such a way?

The answer to such questions is simply a word 'belief'. If we believe that our wishes will be fulfilled in this way, they will get fulfilled. When we believe in something our mind and heart always follows that path of our belief, our faith. In any situation, it will take a course which will make us feel that our wishes our getting fulfilled.

Same happens in the opposite case. If we don't believe that our wishes will be granted in such a way, they will be not.

At the end it all comes to you. It all comes to your belief. Infact I would say it all started from you. Different ways of making wishes are created by humans.
Be it making a wish and blowing the eye lash away or making a wish in front of a shooting star ( technically speaking its the visible path of a meteoroid entering the earth surface and getting converted to a meteor). So, our beliefs begin at us and end at us.

The Most Pious Form Of Love

It had been almost a year
We had met
Now again to go back
He was all set

That's when he held my arms
And kissed me on my forehead
It symbolised his love, care and affection
That was all unsaid

My eyes twinkled
When he told me
All the best dear
Work hard for what you want to be

That moist imprint on my forehead
Made me understand
That we are together
So distances will never matter

This was the most pious form of love
As it was love between a sister and her brother
