It is better to accept and be happy….
♥Good morning friends,
You may get disappointed if you expect,
So, before you do so, just introspect.
Why would you trouble your soul,
For things beyond your control?
Isn’t life without expectation perfect?
God has given you everything you need,
Don’t expect Him to also provide for your greed.
Why should you let your happiness depend,
On the response of another person or friend,
When gleefully your life you can lead?
Expectation is really another form of desire,
For things that you don’t really require.
It is as if you force yourself to say:
“Please come and take my peace away,
I want to see myself constantly perspire.”
“God, rather than expect I train myself to accept,
Since all your promises to me you’ve kept.
I don’t want to wilfully become a slave,
Or go with my desires to the grave,
At not mortgaging my happiness I’ve become adept.”
….than to expect and be sad.

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.
