Life in all its goodness and simplicity

Life is good and simple. We make it complicated. We label everything, this is good, that is bad. He is successful, she is a good for nothing. Why not just accept things for what they are? Life is an experience, whatever it offers. We decide how we want to live it. Not others. We decide.

Even Mother Nature is not spared from our criticism. We call the rain bad weather. We call the rising waters floods caused by rain. We complain when it is too hot. We forget that Mother Nature provides without a second thought. Yes, floods cause inconvenience. Yes, rising waters take lives. But these natural phenomenons happen even in the desert. What comes after raging floods is life, renewal.

I find the most difficult to understand are human beings. We are born with brains that think, mouths that talk, heart that feels. Yet many a time, all these just expand negativity when they can expand positivity. We live in a man made materialistic world, filled with concrete and metal, and cut and carved wood. I salute those who have gone back to basics, to nature, to sustainable farming, to good life and simple life.

I do not profess to be a wholesome person, but I try my level best at my best mental state to do what I can to provide for my family, in as positive a manner I can do. Each night as I lay down to sleep with my family (we share a common room even though we have several rooms), I look at my boys with awe and love at the miracles they are, growing. Such angels in their sleep when they can be so mischievous awake.

Life is good and simple, only if we want to see it that way.
