Being the same you when everything else is changing is one of the
most difficult tasks and one of the greatest qualities a human can possess,
considering that the most vulnerable thing to changes is human. Keeping
yourself active all the time, catching all the buses on time and reaching every
place in time aren’t the only things that makes you a good person. The biggest
challenge is to be who you are till the end, no matter what happens and no
matter what changes come. And this is the thing most people think they’re doing
while the actually fail to do, and others knowingly ignore. The remaining very
few are the ones who effortlessly continue to be the one they were born as, the
same innocent, naïve, new, fresh, simple and untouched person that their
parents raised, the one who knew it was more important to be oneself that being
famous and important. Being this one person is my dream since so many years
because even I know I have changes, I know I am not the one that my parent
raised. I am not the same and I know I need to go back to who I was a while ago.
The only problem is that this while was too long ago.
Some think that the solution to this is keeping distance from the
changes, while the actual solution is to adapt changes the way they are. The
day you start trying to change others everything gets ruined. The only way to
keep things in place is to mould yourself according to the change, and at the
same time to keep in mind that you must not change the person you are in the
process. Have you ever seen a chameleon change its colour according to the
place it is in? That camouflage keeps the chameleon safe from the changes in
the surrounding. The biggest thing that we get to learn from the chameleon is
to adapt changes as and when required and come back to our original self. Alas! Some of us learn to change the colour
too frequently and forget learning to come back to our original colour. And
alas! This number is way larger than those who know when and how to remain
original. And alas once again! There is also a good number of people who change
their colours when original is best suited to the situation. Alas! The
chameleon told us good and bad things, but we chose to learn only the bad ones.
But this is not the first instance where we have chosen to learn
half the part of what is told to us. It is human tendency to see negative first
and sometimes only the negative part of something that was originally meant to
be taken positively and bit by bit. Bit by bit! Ahh... That is what we humans can’t
do. We are inclined to doing everything before time and thus forget how
important the ‘bit by bit’ thing is. The day we understand the importance of
eating that delicious cheese sandwich bit by bit and drinking that old wine sip
by sip and how it doubles the taste, we will also understand how delicious life
becomes when lived bit by bit. Live life, understand its teeny weeny bits,
learn to change when needed and to change back to your original when needed.
Love. Smile. Live life bit by bit.
