Obligation to Balance of life

May be this is something we already know. But we take it for granted and does not use as an equation for balance of life.

Balance of Life α 1 / Obligations

Whenever there is a change in your obligations, it reacts inversely with respect to balance of your life.

It is also possible to limit the scope thus obligations and balance will lie within the scope.

Example; office life.

got treated well or "got treates well" ?

we hurt people knowingly or not at different scales. most of the time we do not realise either we hurt someone or degree of hurt we cause
but we get a first hand experience when it is the time for us to take the beating.
it ls not easy to change society though it is the right thing, but more of the realistic approach is change your self and be resilient. adopt the change and embrace the change in your life. balance between what you want to be and what is expected. you are a winner and an achiever if the balance is made and you have made peace and comfortable with the balance.

Holidays and not Holidays

I mean we all experience, office days go snail but holidays on rockets.
Why why and why ?
Is the time really fly faster differently on week days and week ends ?
We all now time is constant and it is a unit stand equal what ever the day is.
So obviously it is us that making the time to act differently.
Consider the feeling i was highlighting earlier, now consider if we can switch our perception about weekends and week days. Would not be nice, as weekdays consists of whole five days, yet weekends just 2.
How awesome it would be ?!

Too much expectations!

Too much expectations of healthy!
As we struggle ourselves to pass the day with so much to achieve both the short and long term goals, we go up and down. even we achieve so much, we always left with the unaccomplished feeling, feeling  let down, your selves as well as others.

Just reading the news paper is quite enough to understand the plight of human breakdown from all corners. Report card of the society is not look good. There are severe fluctuations of emotions and actions, resulting in disastrous results to both to the family as well as society.

Lord Buddha, taught us to be satisfy with the less. Even Nirvana is supposed to be achieved through least possible manner rather waiting for the higher approach. if this is for Nirvana, what could possibly be for other necessities of life ?

Days of our lives

Now there is a saying, where you  are dragged down a stream you will even hang on to a grass leaf for sake of your life
We do, specifically i did it and will do it in future just to get a breathing  space and a minute to forget things that makes you stress.
Is it good?PM gods will say no and request you to finish what you have started. But been the person you actually  do the work, instructions from people whom sole purpose is to dictate and tell others to do work, will nite make that much impact in following.
Yes we do take breaks and we would continue to do so, because you are not even biologically designed to do the same thing over and over again.
Our body needs  change, so our body thinks way cooler Thames our mind. Damn  you head!???!

Religion and Politics

Basis of religion is morality, purity and faith, at least it is meant to be. On the other hand politics is for power. Religion is often used to give legitimacy to those in power to prosper and continuity. Religion was used to justify wars and conquests, persecutions, atrocities, rebellions, destruction of works of art and culture and almost all means of destruction.

When religion is used to substitute to political mileages, whole quality of the religion and its expected high moral standards get faded. if not contained, it will become a political force.

The thrust of the Buddha Dhamma is not directed to the creation of new political institutions and establishing political arrangements. Basically, it seeks to approach the problems of society by reforming the individuals constituting that society and by suggesting some general principles through which the society can be guided towards greater humanism, improved welfare of its members, and more equitable sharing of resources.

There is a limit to the extent to which a political system can safeguard the happiness and prosperity of its people. No political system, no matter how ideal it may appear to be, can bring about peace and happiness as long as the people in the system are dominated by greed, hatred and delusion. In addition, no matter what political system is adopted, there are certain universal factors which the members of that society will have to experience: the effects of good and bad kamma, the lack of real satisfaction or everlasting happiness in the world characterized by dukkha (unsatisfactoriness),anicca (impermanence), and anatta (egolessness). To the Buddhist, nowhere in Samsara is therereal freedom, not even in the heavens or the world of Brahama.

Step after step

even though we are with the impression that life is flawless, it is actually a collection of carefully orchestrated steps. i overwhelmingly believe steps are chosen by us, may be we have not think through, but we took the decision to use and execute.

Not thinking through is the fact that lands us in trouble and it is the practice and habit we must excel upon. 

One of the main factors of that is the availability of time. yes time is constant and common to all, but we differ in capability of taking our time before taking a step. Due to many factors, time taken to decide upon a step to be taken.

in an homogeneous group of people, steps are identical. Same career goals, salary etc etc yet have we ever wondered some comfortably take the decision and some are not. if we are to go into the facts for such, then it is a whole new subject area, but this is the factor or phenomena that keep us divided. Some are achievable by effort, but some are privileged. even though it should be the other way round, normally the privileged get the cut long before the effort and justice kicks in.
