“Now that it’s all over, what did you really do yesterday that’s worth mentioning? “
– Coleman Cox

Sheetal shabd ucchhariye, aham maaniye naahi |
Tera preetam tujh mein hai, dushman bhi tujh mein hai ||
Translation:
Our words need to be soothing, completely absent of ego |
For all our love is inside of us, as also our enemies, our negativity||
My understanding:
We often hear the statement “hindsight is 20-20”. As the first quote on the top says, think back to the events and activities of yesterday. How many of them, on review, were worth the angst and heartache you put yourself through while in the moment?
Life is such – we presume the worst even while hoping for the best, and then agonize ourselves and all around us in the worry that we did not take more into consideration when figuring out the worst – we KNOW that the worst is far greater than what we dream of ?
And then the moment passes, and all is well. Even the worst is not really a bad world. All it really needed was a moment of quiet introspection and a smile – both of which we are not ready to give at the apt moment.
So, please – stop, think, and spread only love. Life is very very beautiful, and the world is here to please us, make us happy!
