In a
world ruled chiefly by human ego, yeah you heard me right. Just think about it
all the things we do are largely governed by the perceived outcome that we have
fixated ourselves on to.
It is
easy to be reflective and arrive at a truth which is bigger then you but it is
difficult to follow through and implement it in our lives.
As
Portia says in Merchant of Venice "If to do were as easy as to know what were good to do, chapels had
been churches and poor men’s cottages princes' palaces. It is a good divine
that follows his own instructions. I can easier teach twenty what were good to
be done than be one of the twenty to follow mine own teaching. The brain may
devise laws for the blood, but a hot temper leaps o'er a cold decree. Such a
hare is madness the youth—to skip o'er the meshes of good counsel the cripple."

| The Feeling of triumph although we know that is a compromise |
This picture is my own. Don't use without
permission
It is
this struggle between the desirable and the reality that we inhabit and call
life. The struggle more than often ends up in a compromise. As a dear friend of
m one mentioned that one has to take some initial blow and wait for the
opportunity to present itself then take it.
This is
all that we end of doing all our lives. We find ways to decorate and brighten
this space with other things which are such glowing examples of the same
compromise.
It is so
deeply engrained that I am inclined to term is "evolutionary" but my
scientific training prevents me to do that (another way that I have trained my
mind to act I suppose).
Is life
then a glorious continuum of many compromises juxtaposed together?
We can
choose to make the compromises beautiful ones or at least we think we do. As
long as there is the word "choice" associated it with, we feel
empowered, although it is for another time to discuss how is the choice is
truly a choice.
We should
at least be gay about the mere fact that we at least have the perceived choice
to make and be happy about. There are many sections of our elaborate society
that don't have the option.
I would
end by saying that even if we make all these compromises make beautiful and
worthwhile ones.
Sooner
than later move away from the ones are a bad one but then remember what Portia
said. Let me compromise pouring my heart out and say bye. Until we meet again.
