Survival


Life is not an easy path, not a bed of roses.... We start to struggle right from the time we are born in this world. My opening line would have made you wonder that I have read/heard this somewhere. You are right this statement is not aboriginal. Every living being on this planet earth has to struggle in order to survive, now you may remember the phrase of Sir Darwin "Survival of the fittest".
I have witnessed drastic weather change around. The fall showed colors of leaves changing from green to red, orange, pink.. simply awesome.... Then slowly the bizarre winds started and the leaves parted from trees and as the winter approached, the beautiful trees were merely left as skeleton of trunks and branches, they seemed lifeless, seemed as if they would never be able to be flourish and I felt pity on them. They had to withstand the most harsh winter, the snow, the blizzard!
And then as winter faded away I was so happy to see the buds coming out on the very dry and presumed dead branches, it made me realize the power of mother nature and the amazing creation of GOD which in our daily life we never give a thought on. Slowly all trees were blossomed, they looked so rich and I silently praised them for braving the changes around. This taught me how ignorant I have been and also made me realize that just because the environment is not favorable, one should not give up and forget what one is capable of doing. No matter how hostile the conditions be one must be ready to brave them.
Next time you say you have problem and you cant get out of it just think that you are one of the most intelligent specie on the earth and sooner or later you would get the solution.

  2. Very thought provoking. next time I feel 'low' ,I'm going think about the fact that humans arw after all intelligent ;)
    And another important realization in my case is to value weather and climate. I learnt this only after moving to The United States. I took the presence of the sun for granted when in India. It is only during the winter in New York did I see the sun absent for almost 4 days i na row. that was terrible. Now, I know why some cultures in India worship the sun - it is a blessing indeed.
