Yes! being good is tiring and frustrating, but it's the only way of being good.

At times being good to people can be really tiring and frustrating, even more, when people don't understand you or your emotions and keep on judging and furling negativity towards you in return.

It is the real test that one has to pass, because when people are good to you, you will be good to them, but if you are good to others even when they are being totally absurd and negative in their behavior, one day it will make them change their perspective and see the goodness in you, just wait for that moment, because sooner or later it will arrive.

As we had discussed before as well, that negativity doesn't need will power or force to exist in our lives, it is our natural tendency to get attracted towards negative thoughts and actions because of our mind's self defense mechanism which has evolved from being hunter gathers to living in a social environment.

our mind's tendency is to clench to a negative thought and build a story around it, it helps the brain keep this body safe which happens to be its residing place. Mind is very selfish in its nature, it wouldn't let you be free unless you train it to let you be free over the period of time.

Due to the very same reason, being good in general is hard.

It is really hard to be good to people day in and day out, when you know they are not being good to you.

Its is really hard to stick to your principles, when everything feels unfavorable.

It is really really hard to be a good human, when there are a few examples to follow.

It is really hard, frustrating and tiring to keep being good.

But again,

Life is hard, and you can't have it any other way. 

Just hang on for a while, The things will change.
Your goodness will be answered, and your value will be recognized.

till then,

Live Laugh Love💓

Do you see what I see?

Do you see what I see? Definitely not! Even if we all look at the SAME thing, at the SAME moment, we cannot see the SAME thing. If we remove the scientific angle from the explanation and only try to understand the philosophical or experiential angle, we would know that it is impossible for two people to look at things in the precisely the same way. How we experience things, places and people around us depends on our past experiences, our mental status and a lot other internal things. Though we can try to relate with others around us in a similar settings, we never know what they must be feeling exactly, sometimes they themselves don't know. Having difference of opinion is completely normal, very rarely it will be the case that two individuals can completely agree on something, and we should understand and respect that without any ego or negative perception. We all have a different life philosophy, different goals, different learnings, We all cross paths with each other for a short ...

Root cause of Depression and Anxiety in life.

Someone asked Sri Sri Ravishankar (Gurudev) that - What to do when everything around us starts to feel like a dream and superficial? This is what Gurudev answered with- When everything starts to appear superficial and dreamy, realize that you are waking up to the universe. When we are really woken up, everything do appears to be a long dream, and that is the true reality. When we all accept that everything around us is momentary and transactional we will wake up to a new paradigm of wisdom in life. The life full of happiness and contentment. The life with a bigger perspective. When the life has no set goals, it feels empty and meaningless, and gives way to depression and anxiety. But when you have bigger goals in life like, working to make this world and environment better than before, so that the planet is still healthy and livable when the next generation arrives, it will give you a sense of purpose and meaning in life. The lack of direction and purpose in life is the root cause of d...

Why I started writing this blog?

Ever since childhood I have been told by my parents and grandparents that whatever you do in life, just make sure that you never hurt someone or never succeed at the cost of others happiness. This thought has been the basis of my entire life. At the very core I have always tried to be a good man, someone who can be looked upon, someone who is a problem solver and not creator in others lives.  Then came a phase in my life when I started questioning everything around me, every person who was a part of my life seemed like a negative influence, every talk that I got involved in only led me down the path of spiraling negativity and I lost control of my own thoughts. It was the time when I had the deepest realizations, most of them eventually never made sense after a while but some of them had a life changing impact on my thought process and personality. I realized how people can be perceived just opposite of what they stand for, how our mind plays trick and fills the gap with negative t...
