It is strange how people sometimes change- change in the way they speak, change in their attitude, change their way of life. It is experience that sculpts every individual. But what is that causes short term changes in trust? Why is it that someone who has been extremely friendly for a period of time suddenly withdraws? Why is that somebody who has been loving and showing so much of trust suddenly accuses you of being untrustworthy?
Last evening, I was reading a book that gave out the message that every day presents windows of opportunities. Isn’t it better for everyone and for the individual to utilize these opportunities to create a positive difference?
These small positive differences would enhance the quality of life, create more positive energy and happiness to everyone around.
Yes, we all know this . Despite this, many a time, we succumb to the situations and allow them to take control of us. What happens then? What happens to our rationale when we stop thinking about how to make the situation better? What happens to all the positive thinking, resolutions we have taken when a situation threatens to take control of us? It is difficult to remain calm and composed and say “I will not let this deter my spirits”. But it is not impossible.
One can restrain from throwing words that can cause indelible wounds.
Thiruvalluvar said
“Theeyinaal sutta pun ullarum aaradhe
Naavinaal sutta vadu.”
Translating into English, it means that the wounds/injury caused by burns due to fire may heal but those caused by harsh words would not.
How true!!
