Paint the past.!

Look i may be taking the pessimistic view here, but when every thing boils to the end, sometimes what you lost on your way may count more than what u got/achieved. We smile throughout our life thinking that there is so much more to get, to cherish. We run after the facades which life creates for us pushing back the losses we suffer.

People we neglect, time we miss out, phases of life we forget to enjoy. Just thinking that there is so much more to get and create.

We miss out on age-old friends in tiny ego clashes, in small greed. We miss out on the glory of happiness in small things. Sometimes we delibrately push back our losses out of our mind, maybe because they are too much to keep us sane any longer.

We miss so much , much more at the end when and if we begin to tally the balance-sheet of our life. Its not our fault, I tell you. Its our conditioning, the conditioning of a tired mind, the conditioning of a blatantly eroding society. Too much happens now. Too much for our senses in all. 

On the larger picture, we dont stop to count the losses mankind faces every second.Loss of life, loss of care, loss of traditions, loss of countries and their cultures. 

Today the extinction of the flora-fauna has been relegated by the extinction of Man in all their forms. You find a war killing millions of men and civilians. The horrendous trade of African albinos. And then we put down the newspapers and yes we simply no longer care.

We run ahead in our life, yearning to get millions-billions.

 

Coming back to the picture, 

Better to hold on to and cherish your today, rather than making it tomorrows regret.
