Joys and sorrows are same for a man…..
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 #152‘.
Good morning Friends,
It is given to the very few,
To take joys and sorrows in their stride.
And if such a person is indeed you,
You lead a life that is satisfied.
Joys and sorrows aren’t two distinct moods,
These are outcomes of different attitudes.
The same event can be viewed differently,
By different people in different situations;
Whilst one looks at it almost fervently,
The other can be led to frustrations.
So, it’s not the event that causes the feeling,
It is one’s reaction that is revealing.
As we go along we learn more and more,
About how our reactions decide what we are,
So when we conclude life is a bore,
It may be a reflection of some inner scar.
One can decide to be in complete command,
Or allow one’s emotions to gain the upper hand.
Blessed are you if you ain’t a slave,
To the swings of your heart and mind,
You know exactly how each would behave,
When it’s boundaries by you are defined.
You’d find joys all around,
When you’re not, to your emotions, bound.
…..who is not a slave to his emotions.
