A poem by Kruthika Dev
Oh Rain! You give me pain,
You fall like a grain,
That pricks and put me in vain.
If you are ain’t there,
We’ll be nowhere.
You are the most important resource,
We write about you in prose,
As you fall like a drop,
Something like happiness in me crop.
If you ain’t there,
We’ll be nowhere.
So what does this phrase mean????
Any guesses……………
It is good to forgive people even if they do wrongs because everyone does it. (We are all humans at the end of the day. Isn’t it?)
Wrongs are very much common in our day to day life. But it is even best to forget all the wrongs.
For example: A child steals a cookie from a shop, his mother catches him in the act … she forgives him and tells him not to do it again. But she never forgets the incident and years after the child grows up, she incidentally accuses the child one day over taking away her diamond pendant which she can’t find.
In this case even though the child has not done any thing wrong his mother wrongly accuses him of the theft and in turn breaks his self esteem.
She did not make you feel angry. She just did something which did not match to your expectation and you choose to create anger. He did not make you feel jealous. If you compare yourself with him and posses a sense of deficiency while someone else chooses this as an inspiration from this comparison.
The last words of Mahatma Gandhi were “Hey Ram!”
The last words of Jesus Christ were “Lord please forgives the mistakes for they not know what they are doing”. Even in the threshold of death they choose their feelings independent of what happens to them in their life…
It is true that you are not the creator of your own life. It is also true that you are not in total control of everything that happens in your own life. There is space between stimulus and response and in that space lays the man’s thoughts to express his own feelings. In that choice lays the man’s happiness, growth etc…etc.
However it is better to forget about the mistake as there are chance of bringing reminiscences of it into the future and taunting the guilty with it years after the mistake.
So my humble request to you all is to avoid fighting against each other and even if you do please forget the mistakes done by each and everybody the very next minute.
