Everyone has a goal in life but do we really need to offend
people on our way in achieving them. We
become so arrogant and stubborn that we don’t even spare a moment enjoying the beautiful life
we are gifted with. Everybody wants to surpass each other for satisfying their
ego. But does this satisfaction really give us happiness or it’s just a myth in
which we weave our life.
Few people want to kill the competition and few are
just slogging themselves to come to the top. The competition which we want to
kill might kill us one day as if we broaden our horizon the race which we are
running is run by every other individual on our planet. Some of us think that our greatest competitors
are the colleagues with whom our performance is compared but it’s demon inside
us with whom we should compete. The world would become a better place to live
if we start doing that as the sense of envy and jealousy would vanish. Even
after killing the competition or winning the race, are we happy or it’s
just that our ego is satisfied. Satisfying ego has become pivotal in our life
and in that fear we don’t take risk of thinking out of the box. We are still
stuck with stereotype methodologies which in the end bears no fruit.
Being born in an
over populated country, the race began from the time of admissions into schools.
When we could not even walk properly, we were asked to run. Then came the boards
where everyone had eyes on us and we too wanted to score good as we wanted to
get through the best school in town. The process continued, the great entrance exams
and then the cgpa of the college. It won’t stop as thought because we would then
want to climb the hierarchy of posts of our company.
We work for a better tomorrow, but when it comes we are again
working for a better tomorrow, so we hardly have time to seek happiness in
small things in life. The race which we all are running is futile; happiness doesn’t
mean being at the top, it means knowing your inner self and being contented
with whatever you have. A time will come where we will be successful but we won’t
have anybody to share our success with. Successful life will have its own definition
in each of our dictionaries. Some of us might just feel successful by superficial
felicity of life, but for some being successful is being contented in life.
