Giving up...
My mother always warned me... 'Giving up is very easy! But never give up!' By that, she meant, never should one give up one's aspirations, ambitions, aims in life. One should never quit...
Just because something was difficult... One should pursue and persevere... Ultimately it will be
yours.
Now I've realised, and no big deal about that... that this approach is only applicable to certain
things - like 'goals in life' (let's settle for that term for now). Giving up 'some' things in
life is not at all easy. Sometimes so difficult, to the point of being able to believe it to be
impossible. Like you can give up your past only to a certain extent; you cannot give up people /
relationships who mean so much to you; you cannot give up certain habits of yours... (I agree,
this point is debatable :) ). You cannot give up certain dreams. Although you know that it's not
going to materialise, your heart refuses to give up. Give up what? Give up believing,
make-believing, hoping...
On another note, because this world is nothing but some illusions and more, giving up such things becomes all the more difficult. One can keep on living in a world of illusions, thus making
'giving up' not at all urgent. And once you get used to not giving up, it becomes all the more
difficult to give up in the future.
Now why should one give up at all? For the very basic and simple reason: To make one's and
others' lives simple. To get rid of complexity. If not self, at least to spare others a lot of
unnecessary trouble.
Hey I just realised why giving up is so difficult! How can we ignore gravity! :) Giving down
would have been easy, but not giving 'up'! :P
Ok, why am I writing all this on a public blog? Because I do not believe in hiding things? Or
because I actively advocate exchange of ideas? Hah! Dunno... Again debatable.
Anyways I believe, upto some limit, anything and everything is possible, if you want it to be...
And should be possible too, for overall happiness around you. So giving up will also be... :)
Try is all I can,
and so, surely will, Dan... :)

Hmm... giving up!
thats a fabulous point of view... life gives you such amazing angles to look at things, doesn't it!
giving up your past ... there is this beatiful line in some Hindi song... 'Beetha hus kal guzarti kyun nahi...' ... that like sums it up! the past always 'haunts', but then there is no 'guide' like your past!
about relationships ... either i am too insensitive to them or people around me (in general, no particular reference, if you would understand) have this knack of complicating things...
actually the former seems to be 'truer' and the latter 'convenient for me' ... ;)
anyways... good material! will write about relationships soon...
aah... if only i werent so burdened...(with work, that is)!!! :)
:) :) :)
nice comment indeed...
ppl having the knack of complicating things need to give up this knack of theirs or give up their ppl.... for reducing complexity.. just what i've already mentioned in the post :P (in general, no particular reference, if you would understand) :)
aah... if only i weren't so burdened...(with work, that is)!!! :) ---> :) not thinking of giving up work in order to blog, right! :)
I'll see to it that you are not so burdened... ;) whichever way...
you wouldn't possibly burden me... in whichever way...
:)
:)
because i wouldn't burden you or you wudn't let urself be burdened? :) hmm?
complications again? :)
You wouldn't possibly burden me, whichever way ... unless you want to burden me ...
i can complicate things too... if i wish... ;)
i get my answer... ball's gonna be in my court!
when it's actually in urs...
