Each moment is precious. If we use it to move
ahead of us, to elevate ourselves, we enjoy it; we learn something special that
we never knew earlier about and that knowledge becomes our own. We, then,
become useful for others and find a purpose to live for.
However,
if we use that moment to catch up with others, considering ourselves to be
lagging behind them, it becomes drudgery, an experience that we do not enjoy. We,
then, at best, can become a commonplace item on a shelf in the marketplace of
the world, waiting to be sold out and used by others as they deem it fit, only till
their purpose is served.
There
is much difference between ‘being useful for others as we deem it fit’ and ‘being
used by others as they deem it fit’. The former is freedom of the soul and the
latter its captivity.
