"To be human is to be disappointed – and vice versa"
I am a recent follower of My Brunch Column @seemagoswami. Her articles touches aspects generally one overlooks to notice. But it draws your heart to the subject once you read it. My views about the article To be human is to be disappointed – and vice versa(13/11/10) :
An article every teacher, parent and children must read. Semma has depicted the realities of today’s life in a wonderful way. “Disappointment is destined to be a regular feature of your life”. The biggest challenge a teacher or a parent faces today is preparing the minds of innocent children to accept and adapt to the ‘kicks of life with its own set of special let-downs’. Being a teacher and parent, I feel that we must help our children understand this aspect of life from the childhood. I think one of the causes for the rise in the number of failed marriages is people’s failure to accept the truth that ‘to be human is to be disappointed – and vice versa’.
Success brings with it JOY -man accepts this wholeheartedly.FAILURE brings with it disappointment- we know this is also part of life but Why do we find it so difficult to accept ????????? As u said ,the day we all accept 'the kicks of life', is the day we have attained MUKTHI
ReplyDeleteThank you, dear friend for your valuable comment. Day to day happenings around us sends us a clear message that we must prepare our young children to walk on the roads of reality which are not spread with rose petals. We shall not wait for the day of Mukthi!

ReplyDeleteThank you, dear friend, for your encouraging words. “Every cloud has a silver lining!”….wonderful words. It’s unfortunate that many people fail to develop the attitude of accepting happiness and disappointment as the phases of life and eventually lead miserable life.
