Peace and Pieces


When you hear the words "Inner Peace" your mind takes you to the amazingly detailed animation of Kung Fu Panda 2 where Master Shifu's soothing voice (played by Dustin Hoffman) just makes the movie double awesome. Its funny how we know so much, hear so much, understand so much yet can't really implement much. When I first read the Monk who sold his Ferrari I felt Robin Sharma isn't really telling anything we don't know already .. Seems like another self help types book.. but it took time to realize that he never meant to tell anything new… he merely wanted one to see what they are missing even after knowing… irony I sense?
 
Every time I look back in life, some how, I always end up thinking about things that could have been.. Not really looking at the fact what right now is… hmmm a little complex is it :-) .. Well actually with time as I grew up (and not just in size)  I started longing for peace more than happiness though both are synonymous but not always equal. 
 
Moments are cluttered all over the time like little pieces of magic mushrooms (yup Amsterdam is the place to get them :-) ) if you manage to pick one up.. You get high on that moment of life and probably treasure it in a trunk at the backyard of your mansion of memory but just like the magic mushrooms give you an awesome time but are still banned or illegal , the moments in life could be extraordinary but not really correct in perceptive of many or sometimes your own conscience… that’s the moment of fire chasm crossing.
 
We all know the rights and wrongs and morals of the world but it never guarantees life as you would like it and these pieces of moments are gone in like in a blink of an eye… peace and pieces both gone and m not someone who want to let them go… they always say its really hard to walk on a path alone.. Indeed it is.. But I want myself to do what the heart desire and not what the world has to conspire" .
 
I cherish little moments.. I treasure them.. I value them… where they right or wrong is something purely personal and none but me has the right to decide the acceptance of it.
I do not care about how others or the world would perceive it.. Its too much of a burden to let yourself be driven by that thought … they ain't the ones living the happiness you treasure they ain't the one living the hard time… they are just spectators … let them applaud .. Let them curse… but let the show go on the way you want… just make sure you don't regret anything.. That’s the only thing that can bring you down.
 
You would never know which pieces of moments will leave you with peace and which wont but my friends its in all sense worth trying … getting what is not a sin but regretting it is!!
This isn't a motivational write up.. Nor is it a way to justify anything… its purely a stroke of my fingers on the keyboard driven by little nerves chained in the skull trying hard to escape the bounds that do not exist in reality but are made to believe … 
 
It wasn't the wind… it wasn't the storm… wasn't even the tide,
It was .. Will and always be my will to make life a crazy ride!!
