When we read fiction stories, many times the stories
conclude with a happy end.
The reader breathes the fresh air
and feels relieved , their hero or heroine is ultimately
experiencing an unending happiness.
Even during a marriage the
priest may ask the couples to take vows, "till death do us
apart"
However observation of natural laws shows us
something different from a happy ending, there is no problem with
happiness, but to make it ever lasting, sounds a little out of
space.
There is some thing which is ever existing or never ending
-
“the legacy of responsibility.”
Every person has a different role to play in
different stages in life and responsibility changes according to what
position and role the person is in.
For a young baby responsibilty would
be getting into things,
For old men and women responsibility could be
getting out of things ,
For adults responsibility could be
balancing both side of things, while being engaged in the present,
and looking at the future .
A happy end shows us some kind of selfishness, either
I am ending with happiness or once my happiness is over then who cares for the
future?
That is the exact consciousness Duryodhana had when
he was dying, He told the pandavas, "at least I enjoyed as long as I
lived, now you are living with all this blood shed."
He was so selfish and
self centered, that the future of others did not matter to him .
On
the other hand Pandavas when they were winding their life, they created a
legacy of a stable future life and Pariksit took up from
where his ancestors left " The legacy of responsibility."
It is our choice if we want to be like
Duryodhana and think, “ I enjoyed life and not care for the
future,”
But will this attitude work?
Environment is calling and crying, being
brutally abused by our generation, as we die if we think, “wow at least I had
great life.” What a sad state of mentality that is.
Our inner misunderstanding creates a shapeless
world and our inner understanding gives shape to shapeless
the world.
What are we up to?
