Complexity meets simplicity..
It’s Exam Fever! Time of the year when students all over are in a frenzy. Trying to cramp some last minute studying and bugging teachers with all their queries - that’s the trait of all students be it past or present. Admittedly, I was one of those who only ‘hugged the Buddha’s leg at the last minute’. Alongside them in the battle, teachers make use of whatever little time left to provide consultation for the initiated. Other than that and invigilation, I am fairly free, though I am frequently called up for impromptu invigilation.
I read a book the other day which got me thinking. The book mentioned something which is truly interesting. Do the waves ever get bored, hitting on the shores day in and day out? In my opinion, waves do not have emotions so they are incapable of feeling stifled. Then it set me wondering.. How about animals? Do they ever get bored of doing the same things every day? Furthermore, they are unable to change their lifestyle, in particular those domesticated ones. Won’t they ever feel sick of eating the same dog food and walking the same trail? Do they derive pleasure in doing the things that they are commanded to do, as if they have no mind of their own? Sadly, they have no avenue to let out their grouses. More often than not, we have heard people complaining about the mundane of life. We should really learn to change our outlook. Ultimately, how exciting our lives transpire depend on our own initiative. At least we are empowered with the ability to manipulate our environment. And so, I should really stop complaining about the humdrum of life. Get active and be proactive!
