Last week I
had the compulsion to read international finance for a series of lecture. This
week there is a task at hand to prepare for a Radio Lecture. I am in it ;nevertheless
the other day I was reading Khalil Gibran reader which made me to understand
the unexpected twists and turns of life. Many a time we are confronted with the
unexpected and we are amazed at our own behavior Now a few sentences from our Khalil Gibran:
“What is this power that elevates our
spirits until we reach the mountain top smiling and glorifying then we suddenly
we are cast to the depths of the valley, weeping and suffering? What is this
life that embraces us like a lover one day ,and fights us like an enemy the
second day?”
Monk who was persecuted the previous day and could survive
hunger and thirst the next day through the benevolent intervention of a mother
and her beautiful daughter in severe winter of thick snow and frost makes
this statement.
Men are a
bundle of emotions and finer feelings and no one is good or bad and even if you are called bad and blood sucker do not worry so long as you have the spirit of altruism
and more important you have not done
anything wrong excepting that you sincerely care for the welfare of the fellow
human.
To go back to
Gibran he says “let us keep away from
earthly things, for life passes like a
cloud”. Yes gentlemen of the jury All of
us are “gripping on to life, lamenting the passing of yesterday, condemning the
speed of today, and waiting fearfully for tomorrow”. I have used his words to explain our
existential dilemma.Let us not worry or fear tomorrow.Tomorrow wil not be like today but better than that.All of
us live on hope
