The most beautiful thing that we as people have been gifted is called “Life”. Life of a human being!! Often we fail to respect the worth that we were born as humans. We got the privilege that we could emote through words and put action to our thoughts. Many other species got the same advantage as we did. Unfortunate but true, we don’t have access to that “another” beautiful world.
Life is tough, a bed of thorns, stress, pressure, expectations, pain, agony etc etc. That’s how some of us relate to life. A lot of us see through the hard facet and define life as love, relationships, happiness, relaxation, pleasure etc. Which one is the right way? Obviously the so called "optimistic" would choose the latter. But does it mean that this is the set way of defining Life? I am not offering a balanced view here with respect to both. But I don’t deny the fact that Life does have 2 faces – It’s the one that we choose to see more often.
The worth of self can be estimated by the beautiful people surrounding you. Its true that living through mundane activities of regular life, we often forget to appreciate how blessed we are with presence of our loved ones who bring so much substance to our lives. In fact how many of us actually live our life everyday through ourselves?? We are constantly on a respirator – sometimes our social lives, sometimes our materialistic needs and sometimes through our career aspirations. Is this artificial respiration a sustainable model? In my opinion, the greatest joy of being with a living entity surpasses all temporary modes. We live through people – our family, friends, spouses and siblings. One of them becomes our ‘oxygen’. We give them priority over everything else. Its quite natural in those terms when compared to our body as well. We need oxygen to breathe, be alive and live our ‘mundane’ lives.
The catastrophe that we bring with relationships is expectations. It comes in a pair – like a shoe. As much as you have liking for one formal and one casual, it would only match up when worn in pair. So is the combination of relationships and expectations. There is only hope of survival of a relationship if you can match up to its expectations. For example: - Can we have expectations of liberalization from our family the way we have it from our friends? Match the expectation and relationship will stay alive. The complexity of life can be unwinded with belief in this magical combination. Sounds simpler, but we all know how difficult it is.
Dependency in terms of emotional bonding is an unnerving task. We all wish that we could control it to our best capability. Life goes all topsy turvy when there is an emotional imbalance in terms of reliability on relationships. But I am not even remotely trying to describe the parameters of “relationship” here. It needs another exploration article altogether.
Life is beautiful when looked through a satisfied soul. It doesn’t essentially need optimism to conquer the happiness surrounding you. All it requires is a desire to look through the most unseen things which brings out colors that beautify our inner self. Look around and feel the warmth that even the most ordinary people can bring to you. It doesn’t needs a life-taking attempt to transmit the aura that comforts the depressed souls and those who need the ray of light. Let yourself go…….because …… Life is calling you !!!

I believe that happiness lies within you....never search your happiness in others, rather search it in yourself, you will feel happy, even if you are left alone....
"One has to be comfortable under one's own skin to be happy"....sounds good but its difficult to put into practice.
U r managing to hit just the right topics to set my thought process running on an out-of-the routine path.
Really like ur choice of Blog Titles...they r quite catchy.
I won't go into a rigmarole myself here. I'll just say that I admired the philosophy that drove your article.
