Connection with self

A very famous quote:'Books are man's best friends!' A frequent reader must have experienced the reality of this quote. It is indeed magical as we get transferred into a different world, making imaginary friends, and forgetting entirely about our problems and the world where we reside in. 'No complaints, no demands!' I have heard my friend saying this to me when she was about to get immersed in Pride and Prejudice. I smiled at her comment and suddenly a thought hit me. Are we considering books as our best friends just because they are in our control? We can read them when we feel like and turn a blind eye when we don't want to? Is this possible with respect to human beings? Nah! You take someone's feelings for granted and then find yourself in the court of karma. You try to control someone's life and then suffer the anguish and frustration of the concerned person. These pressing thoughts make me to wonder more. Who is our best friend in true sense? Is it necessary to depend on someone or 'something' for our contentment? 

                          People and objects can give us happiness. But for how long? Family, friends and any object of the world will please,comfort and guide you for a certain period. But what after that? Won't you able to survive? Change is inevitable. It happens in every field of any human being's life. Accepting the change and moving on can only be done if you are in peace with yourself. Maintaining a harmonious and happy relationship with self must be the ultimate aim of each one's life. It's a very common topic. Most of the people know this. But most often one forgets and gets drenched in the agony that life carves for him. So why can't people become best friends of themselves? It definitely doesn't isolate the person from the reality but gives the strength to face the reality. It blesses one with more laughter and smiles, feelings which got lost in the glow of city lights. 

            As I search for happiness

            I look upon the dwindling world

            There is scarce of freshness

            When have we turned so self-

            centered?

  

            If change is inevitable

            Why don't we change ourselves?

            Connecting with self can turn us 

             liable

             To rewrite our fates once again!
