What is this life if full of care..................

"What is this life , if full of care.......................

We have no time to stand and stare........."


I often think that in today's fast paced life, how much does one think about oneself and his own needs. Everyone around around is competing in this rat race to earn more and more money and all the more fame, as if these are the sole factors that govern one's existence in the society.

If given a thought, we come to realise that this is how we have shaped the thinking and behaviour of the society itself.................we are the society, if we have to change it................. we have to first change ourselves.

In this short span of our lifetime, we aim to and most importantly wish to do sooooooooooo many things.............some of which we know that are peactically impossible to achieve. Who knows where we might be in the end of it all................
But still , every one has ambitions and their fulfillment in life is very essential for our well-being.
The first and foremost thing in life that one must do, is to realise which dreams he can achive and which he cannot, and then plan towards the fulfillment of those dreams that he knows he can achive.
Thus.............one can achive what he wants leading to a sense of fulfillment in life nad this very feeling of fulfillment leads a man to live life to the fullest.
God has given us a wonderful means of living and we should make optimum use of our talents and skills.
"SATISFACTON" is the spice of life. Nowadays, we see so many people engaging themselves in high-profile jobs that give them an excellent salary............................. but can we guess, how many of them are actually happy with their jobs?
Most of the young generation today is only after the materialistic pleasures of life..................they do not see the real values of life.
Oftentimes, our desires and interests might not shell-out enough money and appreciation as we had ever expected, but as i said earlier...............the ultimate thing in life is satisfaction.
So what if a female wants to be an engine driver, so what if a male wants to be a make-up artist..............................the society might not approve of these combinations, but these people who do what they believe in are much more happy and satisfied in life than the rich and elite who have all the must-haves in life.
Now people do not ask what you do..............they are more interested in knowing how much you earn,
but one day will come,
when the society will realise what is important in life,
and what is not...............................

"Why are we scared to die? Do any of us remember being scared when we were born?"



..........Death is a Dialogue between


The Spirit and the Dust.


"Dissolve" says Death—The Spirit "Sir


I have another Trust"—
Death doubts it—Argues from the Ground—


The Spirit turns away


Just laying off for evidence


An Overcoat of Clay.......................

Fear of death is natural if you feel threatened in some way - after all your survival instinct is an essential drive. However when fear of death becomes a preoccupying obsessive thought then something needs to change.


If you are constantly ruminating about death, or if the mere mention of the word 'death' makes you feel anxious then a natural concern has gone too far. An overriding fear of death stop you living life properly now!


The thought that some day we won't be around any more can be hard to comprehend and cause fear and even panic. Or maybe it's the process of dying that is feared. Obsessive fear of death may originate from witnessing the death of a loved one, or even being traumatized by something on TV!


A proper perspective on death can add joy to life Putting death into its proper perspective can allow you to see how an occasional awareness of death can add to life, making living much more enjoyable, fulfilling and meaningful.


We live in a world where for many of us death has become a taboo, something to be brushed under the carpet and ignored. Occasional awareness of death is a great motivator to do better, take life by both hands, dismiss pettiness and live more fully.
