yesterday it was beautiful spring like weather in 70's,which is delightting in the month of february where it is in 30's,usually.
i watched a tv show 'maa(mother) exchange' for few minutes,where a mom from one house goes to live in another house and another house's mom comes to live in her house ,and this experiment is to be conducted for only eight days and it is a reality show ,so most of it from the rel life and real people. to my surprise and little shock i saw people ,participating in it were arguing ,almost like fighting and crying ,(to vent out the emotion which they can not hold inside due to bedly hurt feelings) even though they know it very well that it is only for 8-days *****may be they forget or with the conditioning of mind ,gets in to those fighting mode immediately and start suffering instead of enjoying new house,new atmoshphere, new people!! no wonder Buddha calls life a misery.,for most people.
most of the people will agree that if some event is for eight days only than they would not fight but behave nice to each other like we all do during festivals like christmas or new year etc.. but beyond that -'forget it'-right?
why? for a couple of reasons..
1-from childhood we are taught to be competiteve to win all kind of races ,meaning 'fighting' with others to win and get an award which gives some temporary pleasure and recognition by society and our shallow mind records the trick to get pleasure and there goes that shallow mind to gain everything in the world through fighting without realising the pain and depression others(loosers) go through in that process *****so,fighting mind is built from the childhood and it subsides temporarily when exhausted but falls back in to same old pattern of fighting as soon as charged by that universal energy of life which is so generous and impartial that it never interupts its supply to any one in the universe for any reason what so ever.*****

2-we are also trained to live in the 'future 'like becoming something (doctor/engineer etc..) at the cost of the 'present' which is the very essence of life and missing out on that 'present' by focusing on the future creats an emptyness in life and mind tries to fill that void by snatching some of the happiness from others and the fight begins..
.
so be prepared when you try to win the competetion through fighting to loose the essence of life and love which can never exist where there is a fight.
is the choice clear?
