GOOD MORNING MESSAGE #132

How big or long a Life should be?

From the first of June, 2018, I started writing Good Morning messages in the form of poems (Please read: ‘Good Morning Message #1‘).

The last such message was: Good Morning Message #131‘.

Good morning Friends,

How big or long a Life should be?
Should one be able to live forever?
Who knows what couldn’t or could be,
If on this earth one were to die never?

The easy answer, my friends,  to remember,
Is that Life doesn’t consist of days and years;
If Life could be just from January to December,
Who would remember all the joys and tears?

Life is measured by smiles, joys and cheers,
That you bring on the faces of those you assist;
Life is gauged when all the pain disappears,
Of those whose wounds that you’ve kissed.

Life consists of all those beautiful occasions,
When you thanked God for what you’ve got;
When you didn’t think of those mental equations,
In which others have infinity and you’ve naught.

Life is there when you think of here and now,
Without thinking of the elusive there and then;
Life is found when you have sweat on your brow,
And still you say: give it to me again and again.

Life is in those times when you say with surety:
I have lived every moment that was, to me, given;
With the thoughts of self-doubt and insecurity,
I was never never never never never never driven.

Life should be fulfilling and not big or long.

I have done a long stint in the Indian Navy that lasted for nearly thirty seven years; I rose as far as my somewhat rebellious and irreverent nature allowed me to. On retirement, in Feb 2010, the first thing that occurred to me, and those around me, was that I Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (you will find an article with this title in this blog) and hadn't lost all my noodles and hence thought of a blog titled 'This 'n That'. I later realised that every third blog is called 'This 'n That' and changed the name to 'Sunbyanyname'. I detest treading the beaten track. This blog offers me to air 'another way' of looking at things. The idea is not just to entertain but also to bring about a change. Should you feel differently, you are free to leave your comments. You can leave comments even when you agree and want to share your own experience about the topic of the blog post. Impudent or otherwise, I have never been insousciant and I am always concerned about the betterment of community, nation and the world. I hope the visitors of this blog would be able to discern it.
