EVERYTHING IS RELATIVE

You get a raise, your salary becomes 1.3x now, you become happy and decide to t hrow a small party at your place where you get to know your friend sold her business today for USD 100k and has got Blue Label for the party. Within a minute, your happiness subsides, and you start dreaming again with the feeling of joy coming down with every step.

There is no end to wishes. No matter what you do, where you are and who you are; there would be some kind of wish you’d be wishing for. If you do not have any of the “wishes”, it is called achieving “Moksha”, and one of the most famous figures who got to this stage was Gautam Buddha(a.k.a Lord Buddha)

But are all the wishes evil???

I personally don’t think so. Wishes help you to move ahead and motivate you to do things that you otherwise might not. Desires help you take irrational decisions, whether in a good direction or bad, but what is good or bad anyway? Isn’t everything already relative??

Can you have a months food in a day and survive without any food the whole month?

You have to provide energy to your body every day, so it burns the heat inside, keeping you warm, which more or less means, alive.

Similarly, you might pass/score well in exams if you study “hard” at the 11th hour but would you remember most of it? Least likely situation. Similarly, if you don’t expand your knowledge/skill/mind every passing day, you’ll miss out on exponentially many things the next day. It’s like the Aston Kutcher movie, “the Butterfly effect” or a decision tree(whichever of these resonates more)

Example: you have 30 spare minutes, now you have an option of reading 3 chapters of a book today, or you could watch Netflix or TV instead for 1 hour. Let’s take both the scenarios:


If you choose to read a book      – If you read a book today, tomorrow you’ll know more things about the      subject, you would have more knowledge and opinion about something. Also,      on the next day, you start from chapter 4 and gain different understanding      and views over and above what you read in the previous 3 chapters.
If you choose to watch something, you will end up building some other knowledge base which you      can use in coming days, but, whenever in time you decide to read the book,      you have to start from those 3 chapters that you chose to skip for the      day.

Hence, if everything is relative, only YOU can add value in YOUR life by doing something(or ANYTHING) which is meaningful to YOU. That might be or might not be appreciated or respected by anyone around you, but if you see meaning in it. It is not hurting anyone in any manner, GO, DO IT FOR YOURSELF, you freaking deserve it!!
