Does anything change?

I have been asking myself, if things around you really change?

While walking with Ruchi, she very aptly put it, “ Didi, things never change”!!! And we both understood the space she was coming from.

When one does give this a thought, we do realize, whatever might be the situation we are faced with, the surrounding around us remains the same. We expect things to change, we think they have changed, our perception of our surrounding is what really changes, however, things actually remain same. That is why one says, Life moves On!!

Look around you, everyone is going about their activity without a pause. Do we really know what makes them tick? Do we know if they are happy, sad, stressed ? What emotional turmoil they are going through?

For the third eye, everything is normal, a regular everyday life. But ask an individual about his feeling at that moment & one just might hear a completely different story to the one we might have envisioned about them.

According to the frame of mind that they are in, Individuals create their surrounding. One’s own mood is the one that changes things. When you have time in your hand, the red signal will not upset you, but change that & you are is a rush, the red signal will have you seething!!! Things are the same, your situation is what made it look different!!!

If one is sad , the entire world looks bleak to me, if one is happy, one hears the birds chirping, the rustle of the leaves …..

Did the world really change?? Day & Night happens, Seasons change, People continue with their routine, the Day begins just the way it did yesterday .. Every thing remains the way it is!!!!!

Which brings me back to my favourite line ……….. it is all in the  Mind …….. it Creates ….. it Destroys ……… its all in the Mind ….

One would have to read that many times, and think a lot, to put in a decent comment... but a part of the whole thing is that while things do change, most things are repeated... laws are repetitive...they are cyclical.. basic laws are preset & predefined & are known... we expect to grow old... we actually DO grow older every moment... we all share common goals... human nature is constant... we never stop dreaming... we never give up on wanting to live life & making it as tolerable as we can... we always seek to add to our joy & knowledge, and reduce our pain & ignorance... so that is a part of the reason why things don't seem to change... a complex issue.
You've asked one of the most wonderful & difficult questions a human being can ask: DO THINGS CHANGE? WHAT changes? What does NOT change?
Hmmm.... lots of food for thought!
