'I am Aryan'
Am I?
I holdAbraham Lincoln 's hand when I feel depressed. His words are one of the most profound I've ever heard in my life.
I read something wonderful today:
It's a quote by Konosuk Matsushita. Heres how it goes:
"The untrapped mind is open enough to see many possibilities, humble enough to learn from anyone and anything, forbearing enough to forgive all, perceptive enough to see things as they really are, and reasonable enough to judge their true value." I found this here.
I realize how high I need to rise from myself to be someone that I, at least, can admire.
I have been thinking lately, what it is to have a character, and what it is to be character-less. Is it character-less to do what you want to do regardless of the society's moral code? Is it character-less to define your own relationship norms, behaviour, religious, code-of-conduct norms? Am I character-less if I sleep around, don't kiss-ass my superiors, elders and everyone who I expect something from? Am I character-less if I drink when I feel like? Or smoke?
From a differentperspective - Do I classify as a person having a lot of character if I do all of the above right as prescribed by everyone?
Here's my definition of character
1. I must be honest. To everyone, starting with myself.
2. I must REFUSE dependence of any kind, in any situation.
3. I must have the courage to speak my mind, and at the same time, the humility of keeping quiet.
4. I must follow my heart (if and when I can find it).
5. I must never judge. There's a God to do that, I have no right to steal his livelihood
6. I must always respect these:- TIME, MONEY, FREE WILL, COMMITMENT, EFFORT.
7. I must, at all times, follow my code of conduct. Mine, and mine alone. Completely and honestly.
I saw 127 hours. I cursed God all along the movie. I kept saying, how could you God, how could you put someone through this, how could you put anyone through this?? Just for your own fuckingentertainment ???
And he kept answering me "Can't you see the man's spirit?? Can't you admire his courage, his strength, his will to live?? Why do you only see the despair??" When Aron got his hand stuck in between that rock and couldn't free it, my heart stopped, my breath hitched, and i immediately reached for the mouse to forward it to the end, to see that everything went alright, that everything worked out. And God said, "Don't you even have the courage to see it(a movie) to the end??" I stopped myself and watched it.
I looked him up later, I saw him with that 'king' smile on his face, his son, his wife, and his still strong determination to live his life his way.
"I don't have that kind of a strength in me God." I miserably looked up.
"Oh, you do. That and more." He replied.
I was discussing success with my uncle, I asked him if success was success indeed if you achieved yourtarget but it failed to make you happy like you thought it would. My definition of success would be being someone I can be proud of. Plain and simple.
Ranbir is right. 'Keep it simple, silly'.
