Do not...

Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it.

You know there is always opportunity cost involved when we do anything, so it rarely that's things work out same way for every one at the same time, some win,some lose!!

To win something,we have to lose something too! There is rarely a win win situation.
Do not do something JUST because others were doing it too,do things the way YOU want to do,whenever YOU want to do them,and then take responsibility for all your actions!! Live your life yourself and let others do the same too.

Thanks dear Anonymous:)
To be honest I give less attention to the world …
But the most hurtful when your beloved and dear's can’t accept you as “YOU”
I think they are afraid and not challenge enough to deals with differences...

This is life that sometimes our dearest and beloved people don't accept the real us,but then maybe at some point we might be doing the same to others:)
Its easier to say than actually act upon a lot of things we say. But we have to keep on trying!

Do I care about the world?
The answer is NO .. I only care about those who I love, but they can’t accept me as Iam... Ironically?…Maybe...

And do you accept them the way they are, Lilac?
Sometimes we expect too much from others, so living your life with little expectations can be an answer to self happiness. Try to think of your reactions by putting yourself in the shoes of your loved ones, and hopefully you get the answer.

Dear Anonymous, I totally agree with you regarding that “sometimes we expect too much from others” … and I believe this is the problem, but at the end of the day we can’t live individually thus we always look for belonging..“ as Abraham Maslow explained” :)

It is easier to live with less load of ' belongings and attachemnts', esp in this volatile time of ours. I personally think it saves one from much pain.
Each living being is given their own life as an indevidual, so we mush define and live our lives as we like and not as how others want us to. Its just one life,one chance given to each one of us, so live it and love it :)
