The Differences ????

Out of the several Billion ppl on this earth, how is it tat NONE of us are even remotely alike ??? i mean, both physically and in the mental make up..... or are we all so blinded, tat we fail to see the striking similarities within us all????

I mean, after all, we ALL are humans, and as Swji says "Each soul is potentially divine" .....

......The thought bothering me is.......Why do we get happiness out of the failure of another person ??? Why is it that instead of trying to improve our weaknesses, we try to increase other ppl's weaknesses ??? Why is it that we tend to talk (esp bad, and rarely good) abt others behind their backs ??? why do we fail to realize that "we" who talk such stuff, are a part of the same society, the same being about whom we are talking..... After all, what is it that we gain out of the whole ordeal ????

NOTHING ... !!!!

Well, if we consider, getting a lil bit of praise from our (like minded) peers, a lil boost to our own stupid ego or even worse, if we tend to show ourselves as some sort of "Heros" before our peers, then i am sorry, we still have a Looooong way to go in life........and a lot of things to learn from it too.......

Cant we just take the person for whom he/she is ??? are we so self centered , that we expect the other person to act according to OUR wishes ??? How would we feel if someone spoke/spread rumours abt us ??? ever wondered abt that ???

Who teaches us all these things ??? i dont remember any lesson in our text books which taught us these values.... then y is it that most of us pick up the bad part so easily and fail to realize the existance of the good part ??? Does a new born baby come programmed with all these subtle values, and forgets it as it grows up, or do we never learn these things ???

I always wonder...... But all i can pray for, is this :


Dhiyo Yo Nah Prachodayat.......

Dhiyo: the intellect,understanding
Yo: May this light
Nah: our
Prachodayath: enlighten,guide,inspire

May this light enlighten/guide/inspire our intellect/understanding......


Amen !!!
