LOH & Contest #97 - LIFE LESSON

But here I am. Have a great week ahead dear readers. I shall start it based on my personal experiences, if I could teach just one lesson, it would be the following one.

"You perceive the world through your own eyes." >

We consider the world to be an everlasting reality. We appear to be able to identify between good and bad, right and wrong, and heroes and villains. We believe that we are aware of reality as it truly is.

The truth is that we determine our own truth. It is hard to view reality objectively without having our values changed.

We try to adjust the reality because we believe that the issue is external, as a result of this purportedly objective sense of reality.

After spending our entire lives trying to change the world, we come to the realization that nothing can be done. We experience failure and frustration till we pass away, frustrated.

My personal experience suggests there is a problem on the inside. I'll just give you one example so you can all understand what actually happens. As I loved to read since a small kid, the situation I want to address may be inspired by this fictional character from a tale.

Mulla Nasruddin — have you heard of him? Character from a work of fiction intended for children. Here is one of his tales that teaches me a valuable lesson about reality and life.

One day a man came upon Mulla Nasruddin on the dirt looking for something.
Nasruddin responded when he was questioned that he was hunting for his key.
The man participated in the hunt as well and eventually asked Mulla,

"Where exactly did you drop it?"

In my home, Mulla responded.

The man questioned, "So why are you looking here?"

Mulla replied, "This place has more light than my house."

Like Mulla, we are looking outside of ourselves to discover what is missing within. >

Everyone will treat you well, and you will feel the same way about them. As people try to help you, you will also make an effort to help them, dont you think so?

Both the public and you will start to develop a mutual trust.
Everyone will like you, including yourself. But somehow we might end up meeting other people who doesn't have the same value as you.

The world changes for you once you change yourself. The world is not at blame because it has always been like that.

Being a better person inside and out is the only way to make the world a better place. When you work on being a nice person, you'll quickly learn the reality.

Spend less time trying to change the world. By transforming yourself, you can impact the world as long as you believe.
You will, when you always believe.

I sincerely hope that everything I have written here will serve as a valuable lesson for you all in the years to come.

The proverb "You only live once" may now be changed to "We only die once," so make the most of it while you can.
