If i don't blog out now..

..this would happen. Lol. I wonder what happened to me this year. I mean not to say i was ever calm and serene but i need more discipline. A lot more of it. It's not enough to not show out your negative feelings. More like you should know how to control it within yourself that it doesn't even affect how you feel. Sounds impossible but isn't that the only way out?

Hmm. I should have never had hope in the first place to lose it now. That makes sense. Everything's sucky when things depend on something else and when vulnerability kicks in. Not to say it's because of ego but it's a shit, worthless feeling.

I blogged that the last time and saved it as drafts. Had no mood to continue. But now i feel like blogging! Hahaha. I felt like shit today too. Even just now. Even till now actually. I don't like to be thrown away just like that. I don't expect things in return but i expect appreciation for what i do out of initiative. That's the basic right? I mean if i don't get it i can't do anything much also. So i'll shut up. Lol.

I was talking to my mother after a long time. She talked till she cried and i talked till i cried too. And we both decided, the only thing we can ask now is Patience, to hold on there. It's not as though we're in some big crisis or something. But both of us have our own problems.

She went to India recently and just came like 2 days ago. She went to my prayers place there with my brother. And she brought back a lot of stories to tell me. I've been to the place before. It's gorgeous. Somewhere in North India. It's super peaceful, and clean. People there are just awesome. I can't explain everything in words here. It's something i felt.

And during prayers they tell a lot of stories to make people understand. My mother told me some and i'll share them here. This mega fighter called Alexander (i've not heard of him so i don't know the full name) fought all his life and conquered a lot of land and money. But before he died he asked the people to put him in a coffin with both hands sticking out. You know why? To show everyone that no matter what he acquired while he lived, he couldn't bring back anything above.

Another story was that this king told this guy, "I will give you all the land that you manage to cover by running on it" or something. Pardon my phrasing. And that guy ran and ran and ran till he fell down and died. He covered so much. But what did he bring back?

I don't know. Such things say a lot but we still fall back to our same old greedy selves. But it's really worth thinking about. And another thing she said was that Karma will get you hard, no matter where you go. No matter how many births you take.

There's this story whereby there was this guy, his younger brother, and his wife were living in the same house. Then it seems that the guy had lost two fingers when he was doing a chore or something. The younger brother was not really attached very spiritually but suddenly he got onto a path and focussed till he felt grace. The guy was on a path since he was young and he felt that he never felt any grace. The reason was because these brothers were actually husband and wife in their previous birth. The guy was the husband and the brother was his wife. It seems that then, the wife was on a path and the husband was a free-thinker. That path the wife had was what brought him the grace when he was born as the brother. And that was why the guy had put in so much effort since young and yet did not felt grace in this birth. And this guy lost his two fingers because in his previous birth he forced his wife to do a lot of chores for him and he beat her even when she did do the stuff. That karma made him lose his fingers.

And that is how precise and impactful Karma is. It gets you back in the same way, with the same pain you had inflicted on that person. When i get it from people nowadays i can only think that i've done it to them before. That's why i'm getting it back. And i've been thinking how much i will get back in the future if i do anything to others now. Let this be a reason why we should treat everyone with patience and kindness despite what they've done to us. And let us just ask for patience from Him. He's the only one who'll be with us to pull through any obstacle that we face. And the only thing we can do to payback is to love him with sincerity.

So let me end the post with a picture that i should have started out with. I don't have anymore anger nor frustration. Let things happen as they want to. I'll leave everything in His hands and things will fall into place when the time comes.


Life's pretty and gay with sunshine as usual (:
