Life is a Hard Test and How to Stay Positive in Difficult Times is an Art...!!

Peace, Perceptions and Life

Well, folks! You cannot disagree with the reality that life is a whole load of tests and trials. For some, it is quite an easy road and for others a very hard battle. But who can say that everything is perfect at every moment in his or her life? Nobody! I mean it when I say it with confidence and we have recently faced more than two years of coronavirus, vaccinations, deaths, social distancing, isolation, lockdowns, travel restrictions, unemployment, inflation, anxiety, fear, ailments of ourselves or our loved ones. I guess if it was 2019 and anybody could say he or she doesn't know what is the stress of isolation, trauma, and loss? Then it might be considered that they haven't faced the hard times….!! 

But the overhaul perceptions around the world have been entirely changed. When their masks and social distancing were made compulsory, and you fear every moment that you could catch that deadly COVID-19 Virus from anybody, and from the environment then the human psyche has entirely changed. So is the manipulation of the few over the masses has become a major issue. Each person in more than half of the world has faced these hard times, and the survivors can never forget what the hard times are and will tell stories of them to their children and grandchildren for sure. 

If we leave this coronavirus where it is lying, and then turn towards life then we can easily see that parenting is one of the most difficult tasks, and then getting an education, and searching for jobs, interviews, tests, and the whole job selection process demands lots of patience and confidence to stay cool and positive. Then to be intact with your job or business requires you to struggle to the best of your capabilities every day. Having a family and keeping their social, economic, emotional, and other requirements all intact and perfect is a big big job guy...!!

Staying and getting in love or romance is not that an easy job guys. It is not just dating and sending messages and chatting with your lover. It requires a base and then to bear the pain of losing someone in a relationship or either due to death or departure is a big trauma. Losing a favorite job, and a loss in business or examination is all that painful, and it requires lots of emotional guts to be ready to stand up, start the life journey, and fight against new odds in a way. But people in past times and in current times are not always in panic, anxiety, or depression. They accept the challenges of life with an optimistic approach, and then plan and deal with different situations. 

Having mastery and control over your emotions, and reactions to different happening in individual and collective life is all that matters. LIFE asks you to be a trained player and to behave with the strength of SOUL, at the times when the outer realities are looking against you. It is a time when you need to read motivational books, and blogs and work on your counseling to self-help yourself for having a real sector of love, life, and patience, and to cherish your real SUCCESS. Stay intact for more updates and insights. Thank you guys....!!

Peace of Mind and Soul is More Important than Indulging in Worldly Chaos...!!

Peace of mind and Soul

Yeah! That's my perception of life and the whole world. The ordinary man's life is so hard that he or she hardly finds time for leisure and relaxation. If one gets into political discussions, social issues that can't be resolved by just discussion, and keep focusing and getting yourself frustrated about what could happen, and could go wrong in the future is simply baseless. When you don't have the power and the ability to change any situation then don't try to keep on thinking and procrastinating about it. Let the time decide how things would turn out. As future is not seen by anyone and it is as unpredictable for you as for anyone. It is highly necessary when we see the worst political scenario that is developed in Pakistan or even in the world. 

So, for instance, if we look at the current political scenario which is ongoing in Pakistan where a No-Confidence Motion was presented and accepted by the Speaker National Assembly of  Pakistan. Then we saw large gatherings by the opposition parties unified under one platform of PDM. The sitting Prime Minister Mr. Imran Khan left no sides unturned, he and his colleagues and allies also held public gatherings, big wows, false language, and all sorts of threats and deeds that they were blaming the opposition parties like PMLN and PPP or JUI-F. In the end, we see that social media and general media are all full of coverage, discussions, and vocal and written fight-outs. 

What happened as a result? The society, economy, and progression in the country are held at stake. Unfortunately, it is not thought about by the rulers and the other leaders who were vocals of so-called public rights. The combination of heated debates, arguments from the supporters of both sides, and false language and social media posts, articles, and blogs have created a BUZZ. But not of a good one! It has unsettled the nerves of a common man who is fighting hard in these post-pandemic times for bread and butter for himself and his family. Everyone and each sphere of life are severely affected by this political and social chaos. 

The voices have been raised and heated arguments and hatred has given a chance for depression, anxiety, and stress to prevail and spread like a wildfire. What will be next and what will happen in the coming days is a question in everyone's mind and on the tongue. Can we change the mindset of people who are our rulers and the ones who have passed their whole lives on luxuries and haven't faced hunger or poverty? No! It cannot be done by any single person or a group of people. Here I would like to address the readers as to why you are so anxious and curious as to what will be the result?

There is no more blessing than having peace of mind and a soul that is not upheaval by these worldly affairs. We haven't started the Russia Ukraine War, and cannot end it. I don't want to say that people should stop saying the truth, and freedom of expression needs to be compromised. But losing your sanity will eventually affect your health, and the economy, as well as the whole situation, is not worth taking into risk. Emotional balance and tranquility are highly necessary, and compassionate nature is always playing a positive role in each society, even if it is done on a small scale or the larger one. 

For example, we can see in the neighboring country India where an iron lady like Arundhati Roy keeps on saying what is right without fear on national and international forums. She has written numerous essays, masterpieces, and award-winning fiction novels on the prevalent socio-political and economic situation in her novels like "God of Small Things", and then in another bestseller "The ministry of Utmost Happiness". A masterpiece that depicts marginalization, racism, religious extremism, caste system, financial deprivation, genocide, and massive massacres in the name of a country and religion. So, we need to choose platforms to raise voices that must be read, heard, and can make a perception difference. It is a need of the day for all Pakistanis and the whole of humanity at these crucial times after coronavirus....!!
