BEING PRACTICAL

Individual spaces, individuality, individual self respect, self ego, self attitude,self ideology and thought process these are the terms which define this dimension called practicality.Being practical is elevating the above mentioned feelings in ones life and practicing them to the core.A dear friend of mine mentioned these things in front of me around 9 to 10 months ago and i shut him up straight away by putting up the point of absolute love and affection ie; where there is love there is no place for such self oriented terms.But i guess i was wrong.What my friend predicted has actually happened.I see my ideology, confidence and faith trembling down like a demolished wall.Whatever illusions or misconceptions i had have been given a big jolt.I think i need to change, change the way i think, change the approach of looking at and dealing with people.I need to focus more on self rather than wandering around behind others pleading for a little attention.I would like to admit the fact that i have lost faith in my self and my ideology.
I had a very strong concept of people existing together, i had a strong faith in the concept WE/US.But concepts,fundamentals in the realistic world are very different this is what i have never realized and i am paying for it.There is a very thin line between the realistic concept and the superficial one.Differentiating between the two becomes difficult rather i would say hazy when you start thinking from your heart and to see a clearer picture or the realistic one you need to keep your heart at bay and apply your mind.Application of mind needs to be practiced.When you shut the doors of rationality sometimes the real appears to be superficial and superficial appears to be real.So one must be rational in his approach.
Practicality is one thing which is a little relative and must not be practiced on all occasions.I have personally never followed this concept nor i have preached it.May be because i have no responsibility, to be very precise i am not earning.I have started taking favors from one and all, i have started seeking love, attention etc. without having my own standing.I do realize this fact, WELCOME TO THE REALISTIC WORLD.... this is a very apt and befitting statement applicable on me.Again one of my friends always use to tell me this whenever we used to have a discussion on any issues guess he was right.Where did i go wrong........ now i know, depending heavily on somebody emotionally or on any other aspects is wrong.One must be strong enough to deal with his own problems and difficulties without seeking and expecting any kind of support or helping hand.SEEKING and EXPECTING are the practices which makes a character shallow and weak.Imposing your love or say feelings on someone does not mean that you start expecting the same after all others have their own identity, individuality, way of life which cannot be taken for granted or changed.The earlier one realizes and starts practicing these concepts the better it is for future.
Points to be highlighted
--- NOTHING SUCCEEDS SUCCESS
--- ALWAYS BE REALISTIC IN LIFE (BE A STUDENT , JUST LEARN DON'T FEEL)
--- WHEN FAILURE STARTS KISSING YOUR FEET, PEOPLE AROUND YOU START SLAPPING YOUR FACE.
--- ALWAYS STICK TO THE BASE AND NEVER FLY IN ILLUSION LIKE A FOOL.
--- BE PRACTICAL AND START HAVING YOUR OWN STANDING
--- SELF ANALYSIS IS THE KEY TO MOVE AHEAD.
