I am here; curled up on a sofa in
my corner with a cup of steaming coffee and the laptop. There is something
increasingly calm about occupying a place where you can sit quietly and observe
everything but people ignore you, because you are almost invisible in that
spot. It lovely having a piece of mind without anyone around to pry or engage
you, and at times these are the very moments that one craves. The ‘me-times’. Are
we really selfish beings that don’t care about what goes around? Or do we just
care too much?
I think it’s the latter. We care
a little too much about others, about what goes around that we forget to pay
the required attention to ourselves. To look at ourselves and think of where we
might need grooming. No, we are too worried about how the others should behave,
dress and speak etc. that we don’t even mind our own. We pay no mind to our own
activities as we set on the journey to create a better world.
Change starts from within, from
us. We can never bring a change that we want unless we alter ourselves to it
first, there cannot be change if we ourselves refuse to change. With every
little modification we make in ourselves we grow up a little, we become wiser,
we progress and this development only can let us change the world for better.
We need the ‘me-times’; we need
them to become a little selfish, to give ourselves a thought and a cleansing.
Without being selfish we can never accept being ourselves and without having
the confidence of being ourselves we cannot accept nor bring a change. Change
from within, change for the betterment not for acceptance.
