The Vision
The Vision
Melancholy concealed with guffawing, solitude hidden in mob, devilment obscured by smile, pain covered with happiness, fraudulence masked by reality and mortality shadowed by eternity. There exists a valance beyond which no ordinary eye can see. No one can see through this oleo through wisdom and intelligence. No customary eye can see through this. Few people are blessed with such attribute that makes them able to peep through this veil. That trait is “The Vision.
Down to the present day, the literature I have gone through has provoked the human to be an angel. Truth, honesty, sacrifice, contentment and patience have been preached. It has never been said that “Be yourself”, think about yourself, comprehend about yourself, and ponder over yourself. Despite utmost grind, a man cannot be an angel because if he could be then there remains no reason to create angels. A human is a human, whose personality contains lies, jealousy, illusions, hypocrisy, restlessness, complaints, selfishness, impatience and ungratefulness. I don’t endorse them but it’s a fact that they can’t be eradicated completely because more or less they are part and parcel of life. I’m of the view that a person must possess such an instinct that in spite of all his shortcomings and flaws renders him acceptable to the world. I call this instinct as the vision.
A person who claims to be a celestial being must make sure that he is a self deceiver. One, who expresses himself with all his deficiencies, admits his mistakes and limits his self esteem so that he may not fall a prey to superiority complex nor indulge anyone in inferiority complex, is a person who possess vision. Only those survive in this world who adapt to the conditions and those who merely read signboards in a competition can never win a race. Adaptation is the base of evolution. You might take me a materialistic soul but I think I’m doing a realistic conversation. I accept all the criticism but think yourself have you ever seen an angel till now, a person with qualities only and no speck? Perfect is only one character that is entitled the Creator. Rest is imperfect and to accept this imperfection is the vision. The sooner the person realizes that he can never be an angel and is born and will die a human the earlier he proceeds to become a better human being. A better person is one who accesses the circumstances despite his shortcomings, justifies his position through his vision. None can claim that he has always taken the right step and always made righteous decisions, if some does; they are pampered in integral misunderstanding. One who happens to take a wrong decision but justifies it with positive achievement is a visionary person.
I just want to state that OWN YOURSELF, implant a vision in yourself that makes u able to differentiate between reality and fiction, to judge the situation, to mould your efforts according to the conditions and to accept your mistakes. Take off the label of ‘I am the perfect’ and inculcate in your mind that ‘I am trying to be perfect’. Don’t expect anything from life and don’t even belittle your self esteem lest you should become someone’s slave. Live with pride. Live with a vision.
