Food for thought

My life is full of memories, some memories that come to haunt, some that bring a smile on a hard day. And they make me wonder what life is all about. Is it about the time spent with family and friends or is it about goals and careers? Are qualifications and jobs the only important things in life? Life is not about making goals and attaining them, earning a particular package and living a particular life. Life is about moments, it is about relations, it is about bringing a smile on somebody's face. Whatever be a person's career or how much he may earn, at the end of the day if he is not satisfied, it is all a waste. If his children go astray, his wealth is worthless. Diseases and hardships are just a test to find out the true worth of a person. Circumstances are not a man's master. Rather, a person should chart his own course, make his own destiny. All he needs to do is to make some effort and set the machinery into motion, the result awaits him after that. But his desires should not hurt anyone else. For a castle built on somebody's tears is not a castle but a mausoleum. His happiness should not come at the cost of another's hopes and requirements. And he should be aware of the fact that this world is just a passing thought and he has to move on. For he is just like millions who passed before him and the millions who will come after.
