..The Art of Detachment..

..The past few days actually gave me enough time to contemplate and realize some of the best moments that I ever had in my life..A time when I got to spend time with material things. A time to be with new people and be friends with them. Time to be with those people that I really cared about. A time when my whole world revolved around someone or something and a time to be one with myself. Best? I think so but I have to let them all go now. Remember, never hold on to things because everything in this world is impermanent. Once in a while, we need to detach from each and everyone of them. The biggest question is "HOW".

..Going deep into the root of all this might be of great help. It's like knowing what the problem is and then finding a solution to solve it. Whenever there are things that make us feel loved and given importance of, we tend to cling on to them and those I think cause us so much pain in the end. One would even ask "why did it have to happen if it wouldn't last long?" "why do i need to go through all of those stuff and leave me hurting?" the answers to those questions might take us a long time to comprehend - we tend to deny things as they happen. Acceptance is not an option (at first). We get hurt, we feel pain, we feel ignored. Normal. Pathetic. That's why we need to be prepared at all times. We have to accept what's going to happen next. We need to detach. Detach from them.

..For every positive things, there are negative things at the other end. For every dark tunnel, there's light. For every sadness, there's joy. For every thing in this world, there's pain. Loneliness. And I am just tired. Sick and tired of doing the same old sh*t all the time. I am trying to learn. Just learn...

..I still have a lot to share, a lot to say, it's just that, I don't know where to begin. I'll just wait! Just wait...8

..The Ten Commandments of How to Get Along with People..

1. Keep skid chains on your tongue; always say less than you think. Cultivate a low, persuasive voice. How you say it often counts more than what you say.

2. Make promises sparingly and keep them faithfully, no matter what it costs you.

3. Never let an opportunity pass to say a kind and encouraging thing to or about somebody. Praise good work done, regardless of who did it. If criticism is needed, criticize helpfully, never spitefully.

4. Be interested in others; interested in their pursuits, their welfare, their homes and their families. Make merry with those who rejoice; with those who weep, mourn. Let everyone you meet, however humble, feel that you regard him as one of importance.

5. Be cheerful. Keep the corners of your mouth turned up. Hide your pains, worries and disappointments under a smile. Laugh at good stories and learn to tell them.

6. Preserve an open mind on all debatable questions. Discuss, but don't argue. It is a mark of superior minds to disagree and yet to be friendly.

7. Let your virtues, if you have any, speak for themselves, and refuse to talk of another's vices. Discourage gossip . Make it a rule to say nothing of another unless it is something good.

8. Be careful of another's feelings. Wit and humor at the other fellow's expense are rarely worth the effort, and may hurt where least expected.

9. Pay no attention to ill-natured remarks about you. Simply live that nobody will believe them. Disordered nerves and a bad digestion are acommon cause of backbiting.

10. Don't be too anxious about your dues. Do your work, be patient and keep your disposition sweet, and you will be rewarded.
