Through out my whole life, I read , heard or came across many definitions of life. Everytime, I used to get new definition , I would see if it has any relevance to my actual life, just like that. I used to feel I did not understand the meaning... or I used to take it very casually. I was unaware of the fact that I am practically experiencing the same that I read.
But now I am realizing , when I see that there is some gap... People say , Life is like an Ice Cream, eat it before it melts... You get only one life, so live it to fullest extent etc etc.. Philosphers have already told many aspects of life.. We feel, do these things really have any deep meaning ? I never felt so earlier.
But then, I felt yes.. There are people in the world who do not get what they want at appropriate time.. like, if a small kid likes and wants chocolates, does not get that in his childhood.... but gets when he/she grows older. Will that be really comparable to his childhood situation ? Will that give him the same happiness, that he would have got, when he was a kid ? Ofcourse not... But then, we can not control or manage situation all the time.. like if kid's parents are not economically in a good state.. In that case, although they understand, they can not fulfill nominal desires.. Such people will feel bad but still they have a very genuine reason for not living life as they wished to be..
There is another category of people who are capable of living the life as per their wish.. but still they dont for some or the other reason. For these people, I feel the above definitions of life really apply. I want to specially write for them. Everyone in this world has lot of worries may be economical, family related and many more. But should a person, stop living his TODAY for better TOMORROW.. ? Is there any end point for securing TOMORROW ? Would a person ever feel that now he has completely secured his future, and so he can now start living and enjoying his today? I have these questions, may be such people do not have or they have their own answers. Don't such people, need to understand the difference between securing the future and living the future ? We can live only TODAY, if we always keep on worrying about tomorrow, how can we enjoy our today ?
I do agree, that people should plan their future to some extent, but not to the level where in he forgets enjoying his today ... Additionally, while planning future we can not really predict the external factors... we may consider the risk but can not predict the complete impact.. so although they try to secure the future, can they really predict rather secure the future completely ? I feel , NO.. So such people should decide the extent to which they should secure their future and enjoy the present.
And finally, it is upto us, where do we want to see ourselves.
