Become A Lake

Submitted by Pravs J on Tuesday, 8 September 200938 Comments

Become A Lake

The pain of life is pure salt; no more, no less.
The amount of pain in life remains the same, exactly the same.
But the amount we taste the ‘pain’ depends on the container we put it into.

So when you are in pain, the only thing you can do is to enlarge your sense of things…
Stop being a Glass. Become a Lake!

    Great saying..)

    I do agree. What exactly matters in life is not what happens to us, but all that matters is how we respond to the things that happen to us. Its all the way we look into the things. Its all relative.

    Be a lake that keeps flowing and forgetting all bad that comes on the way and keep refreshing your soul with the flowing water.

    Feel the whole, decide considering the whole, do good for the whole, the whole will take care of us….)

    Once again, simple words, but deep thoughts. The pain remains the same, but through enlarging our view of things, it seems smaller. Perhaps we should try not to focus so much on ourselves and the pain we are feeling, and instead seek to place our attention on the needs of others? Through helping others and embracing a wider view of the world, our pain may slowly start to fade.

    Awesome! great phraseology and analogy of salt with pain. Happiness and sorrow, both are the part of life. It’s upto us which we desolve inside. I’m seeing this thought as not to be bold in tough situation but remain as easy as we are in normal situation.Very postive and motivational. Thanks once again!!!!
