Life is Perfect

Recently, I have noticed that many a times people complain about how frustrated and bored they are with their lives. But, have no explanation to it. They have a great paying job as well as equally good friends to hang out with, live in a classy house and have a oh-so-classy car, have a partner who they care about and whom they want to be with most of the times, but they are still not happy. 

Personally, I believe we have all been so spoilt with the luxuries this century has to offer, that many people are just plain bored. Although this is not the case for everyone, as many people hate their jobs, don’t have much friends to hang out with, dislike where they live, and also their partner, but if this is the case it would pretty much explain everything. But for those who have the all the necessities in life and are still unhappy, they are not alone. There are many more people who feel the same.

Often people fill up their lives with socializing; work, movies and family, but rarely find something that they solely enjoy doing; that brings about a purpose. Some people try and fill this hole with religion, music, partners, movies, addictions, you name it. But it's not long before they end up being where they started. 

I have to admit, after pondering about it all, what comes to mind is one word and that is - Gratification. Five years ago, I had no clue about its significance but now I'm developing an understanding for it and it kind of makes sense as we are forever, dominated by technology and money. Whenever  there have been group discussions at dinner or any get -together, it's never really about 'God' or anything religious, always but about finding self love, self respect, and forgiveness within your-self and for others.

Nowadays, people don't want to walk around holding a grudge or enmity anymore, it's like a cancer, and hatred really eats you up inside. Forgiving and forgetting about it gives you satisfaction more than antipathy ever could! 

For people who really have a passion for something, they are more than often able to achieve it when they get their heads down. After that though, it's essential to take time out and literally "smell the flowers” or none of it's worth the effort.

For me, it is finding the time at dusk to take a walk down to the beach and very peacefully watch the sunset. Sometimes, I get so caught up in the beauty of it, that everything else around me doesn't exist and then it becomes all worth it, because for that one moment my Life is Perfect.

What about you? :)
