So many
possibilities exist for all of us. At any given moment. To make another choice,
to take a different path, to make a difference to our lives and to others. Inertia,
customs, duties, responsibilities, society – all words to tie us down.
Wish we can simplify
every thought, action and interaction. No pretenses and be original, bare, raw human.
Find bliss in that. Say what we know and what we don’t know. Express our
feelings without needing to explain why we are feeling that way or feeling
guilty of that feeling.
Wish we can accept people
for who they are, see the good in them and amplify that. Simple powers to
subtly lead someone to be a better version of themselves.
Wish we can show people
endless possibilities in front of them. Lives which will be lived in eternal monotony
can be nudged ever so gently to fulfillment. Find the larger purpose and
meaning of our lives and others.
-- After reading Totochan. Teaching is such
a holy profession, so undervalued atleast in my part of the world. So much
can be done, so many lives can be touched in a fundamental way.
