Just an empty glass?!

Ha ha ha...I was trying to communicate that we all see things the way we want and by the prism of the past...so what changed, depends on our observation / awareness to see other things to the same empty glass.

 

Hi Sabitha,

Life is an exercise book, but life's exercises are hard indeed. We keep trying to do them, make mistakes and then try to get it right all over again.

At some point, we do make some progress which gives us hope in ourselves and we feel amazed at the change we are capable of. The ability to forget unpleasant things, get on with their lives and to remain unfazed by some events (however small) reminds us of the distance we have covered from the starting point - the time when we got affected by every little thing someone said or did.

And that is our ultimate goal in life - to be able to see the empty glass - in each one of us. Like you said, it is hard, but no harm starting out is there?

 

Hi...
Its such an intriguing post...Wow Sabita only you can handle it the way you have done expressing your doubts n finding the answer too...In my experience at the outset we all start with empty glass instead of throwing its content we end up storing it up n letting it go unpalatable thats when all the problems of life start and we get sucked in Labyrinth of emotions..... If we learn the art of filling as is needed and throw unwanted, if needed empty the whole glass we will become elevated souls but is it so easy...hmmm I think its our choice here to make...

 

Hi Sabitha,

This is excellent.Clean empty glass concept. I liked the quotes of Bach very much. How meaningful they are! His book Jonathan Livingston Seagul is one of my favourite books.

 

Sabitha,
Let go off the past, it just hurts more and more.
Live the present, which helps to shape up our future.
Future will be fine, if we plan for it through change of our attitude towards everything and everyone, which in turn gives you a peaceful future.
Loved the quotes from Richard Bach.
