Let There Be Light.
It has been few weeks that I allow myself to get into an observation mode. Something that I tell myself not to let my mind to wander, not to rely on any of my past experiences to pass on with judgement but to give my mind a room to consciously becoming aware. To let it have its own introspection allowing me to view life with a different perspective. Though I must admit that it is hard - since our mind was born to do just that : wandering - these few weeks have let me to experience life differently.
It started when I got back from a short holidays. On arriving at Changi Airport, just after the touched down, there was a sudden melancholy within me. It was not much a feeling of sadness but, definitely, I felt at the general condition and at our acceptance towards life. At how we would go through life whether we were happy or sad, whether we were rich or poor and how life continued to prevail no matter what took place.
I felt so much about the supposed forces in people and the outcome of the events. About the power that predetermined the ways of life. About who each one of us was. About what their life was about. About the consequences from it all.
Not that I was missing the relaxing holidays nor that I had wanted it not to end. I was glad to come home. The next few weeks would be busy. I had few events already arranged and I was looking forward. In fact, few days before, I had hoped for these events to happen without much delay. There was an anticipated feeling of joy awaiting impatiently.
What I felt on arrival was about the empathy for life around me. About where my life was around Life. As I looked around at the faces of other passengers, the airport workers, the shop sales personnel and all others that crossed my path that night, I felt their hearts. I felt at their peaceful spiritual accumulation. I felt at their establishment at their own identity. 'Life is what it is' so I told myself. For all that we had to go through, at the end of the day, it was about how we made purposeful use of it all.
The realization that I have learned from the observation mode is the act of gratitude. It is the state of being grateful and thankfulness. It is about how we can empower it to do some spectacular, wonderful and valuable other things. Life is about how we cope with it. How we set the rules, choose what to do and what works. The state of being is within our privileges, within our philosophy. We just have to embrace it in totality to forge the right path in life.
All other questions "Why are we here?", "What is life all about?" and "What is the purpose of our existence?" are no longer important. Marilyn Monroe said "Life is what you make it. No matter what, you're going to mess up sometimes, it's a Universal truth. But the good part is you get to decide how you're going to mess it up." I learn that humans, unconsciously, stay alive because they are living. They do things in life because they honor at the payoff instead of the process. In doing so, they open doors of opportunity and strive toward a greater sense of fulfillment.
What I see is that humans accept that life is random. It is neither fair nor unfair. From here, life becomes easy. Our circumstances, in each one of us, may vary but our essences do not. Yet, in all these crises and blunders of Life, we push through and persevere. It is this very act that we create the life of our dreams. It is this very act that we, without much thought, are living out our bliss. It is this very act that we transcend our circumstances, or our status, and we take up the reins of destiny and living our life to the fullest.
I just do not have words to describe how I am feeling. There is so much I learn since coming back from the trip. Somehow, I am beginning to see at Life with new eyes. I see others as myself and find, within each of us, that how we live our lives is paramount. What counts is what we do and not what we express spiritually or empirically. Being grateful has its importance and place but how we live Life goes beyond everything.
Truth is, we live in a world where our lives are full of different reactions to different circumstances. It is in our acceptance not to just flatten everything but we need to find wisdom in all life contradictions.
