The wonder that we are

It was in the church last Sunday, that I was taken aback with the Preachers words. Christ was strong enough to oppose and also be violent (in the strong language he used against the pharisees or the cleansing of the Temple in Jerusalem) against the wrong and yet at the same time be humble enough to embrace everyone, the outcast and even the death of a outcast.

Keeping the religion aside, I identfied such situation within us as well. Sometimes it is very dominant and/or  dormant also within us. But we are the same person all the while. But the catch here is  where and when should we be strong or meek.

Many times we are not able to discern what shoul be our right reaction. We blare up when we should not and bury our selves when we should have been revolting. It happens with everyone, and of course I am not an exceptions. It is only when we have our time to give a second thought to the series of events, that we realize that there was always a alternative course of action we had. But it is all gone by then.

So now what? We can't be living like this? A second thought is not as good as the first thought. For there are many things that you can't change.There are some irreversible reactions that you can trigger without your intentions and many times without your knowledge.

A composed mind, could be a solution, but is it possible to be composed enough in the present work culture that we live in. The supersonic speed of this civilization that we always feel that we are falling behind.

And the answer is always YES. We have the wonder within us that often gets untapped. All we require is not to exhaust ourselves in all this pursuit that we think is necessary.  For a while throw all your concerns behind you and take a break, enjoy the breeze, Go for a ride in the country side, spend time with your loved ones, listen to what children say and talk, arrange an outing with old friends. Do this regularly and you will see how you can maintain your composure every time, for your mind is not tired. That is a wonder that we are. Only if we had to come with a manual to operate we would be good, but we have to be our own manual. The wonder within us will bloom only after we are relaxed. Nothing else will change but you will have changed alot, your perspective, your life everything.
