As a citizen of this world, a world that is so complete in terms of resources, technological advancements and the comforts, when I see the suffering and unhappiness that we all are going through, I feel like the young Gautam seeking so many answers.
Just as the young prince Gautam was shattered by the sorrow around, I am shattered to see so many people starving, suffering and dying, when we all can be happy in this world. It’s so surprising and it’s so amazing that we have learned so many things over the thousand years of our existence but we have not learnt to be happy. We have not being able to make this world perfect.
I feel that the beginning of the perfect world would start with answer to one question, a question that each one of us needs to answer, to ourselves; and that is “What is it that we want from our lives?”
Most of us are spending our lifetimes to answer this and in the end we feel that we have not done what we wanted to all our lives.
May be we should start the process of introspection right now. Seek the answers within. Delve inside us and the answer might just be glaring at us.
And may be when we can all live the perfect life, the life that we want to live and the way we want to live, can together make this a perfect world.
