Being Pessimistic

Years of failure
No reward to show
Hopelessness rules it all
There’s no chance to grow

Pessimist believe
The world is nasty
Either you are condemned
Or you fail to understand

Pessimism might save you
By taking precautions
But it might hinder
The growth you want often.

The world wants both
Pessimists and optimists
As the world desires
Growth with some precautions

Mind vs Heart

Mind follow rules
Heart forgive those
Who break them

Mind does calculations
Heart accept
Miscalculations

Mind is always cautious
Heart becomes
Obnoxious

Mind is often scientific
Heart follows
Philosophy

Confusing is their
Disagreement
You become invincible
When you agree with both

Alive


Never dig into
Your old wounds
Might hurt you more
As if you are doomed

Past is just
An unimportant reserve
Cherish the good ones
Ignore what you never deserved

Fears and failures
Can cripple your life
Live every moment
Tomorrow you may not be alive

Selfless Stone

singhpiyush6089's avatarThe Perceptions Square

I am a stone,
Throw me into the river,
Or crush me into powder,
But I will continue to live.
And serve my purpose
Which is to Give,
Shape to your God
Or to create your Abode
This is my selfless life,
Eternally continue to strive
Equanimity is my suit,
My elixir to continue.

Failures


The agony of failures, the misery of a failed man is extremely hard to comprehend. After many failures, he gains nothing but pessimism and frustration. It is very difficult to get out of that jail and start fresh.


You try to lift yourself up again. You try to be optimistic about your failures and you can only do that by constantly looking for ways or things to inspire yourself. You try to persuade yourself that this time you will get.


If you fail again, then what?


It is quite human that after years of failures you loose hope, you loose energy or motivation to start again. You think that you have fallen into the deepest pit. That is the hardest place to get out of.


But you have to live and for that you must try to stand up, again. You will be hit hard with those punches life throws at you but you have to survive. You have to try to motivate yourself.


But how to motivate yourself?


Maybe, failures are nothing but a state of mind. It could be a tiny ripple in the mighty ocean. You should try to live your life by doing things you love most, your hobby (or create a hobby). Sometimes you loose your way and forget about the things you love most. It is time to get back to that. The secret of happiness is something to do.


Write, sing, play guitar or do whatever you love to do. I bet, you will find solace in That. When it comes to me, writing soothes me, music heals me.


Life is a long journey. Let’s complete this journey together by making connections. This is the right path towards happiness and contentment.


Stay happy, readers!

Mountain

At the top of Kanyal hills, Manali

O mighty mountain
You are so cold
But your icy breeze
Blessed by life and soul

O misty mountain
You are so static
But your aura
Is so emphatic

Stand tall like a mountain
Against the fierce gale
Persevere like a mountain
Against belligerent snow and rain

What is Patriotism?

Patriotism is the devotion
Of the soldier in the front
Patriotism is the integrity
Of the citizens upfront.

Patriotism seeps through
An honest hardworking man
Patriotism is the respect
For every human

Patriotism is the devotion
Towards your people and nation
Patriotism unites generation
It is the fight against discrimination

Book Review – An Absolutely Remarkable Thing

A very fast paced, emotional, gripping and thought provoking story written by Hank Green, brother of John Green. Probably that was the reason I bought this book but I ended up becoming a fan.

This book is so densely crafted like there is a whole new city inside a dream. There are puzzles to solve in that city which are at various locations, one of them is under the tile of a restaurant and it is very important to solve those puzzles because the whole world is dependent on that. You will be compelled to get sucked inside the imagination of the writer plus there is a twist in the end. Maybe a sequel is coming.

Fame comes with a lot of responsibility, it has the power to mould humanity. Protagonist, April May constantly fights with her inner turmoil and fears to create a meaning in this world by giving purpose to herself and humanity. Her struggles, her journey is so deeply written that you will fall in love with her in the end. This work of fiction is perfectly mixed with strong emotions and you will come across some enlightening quotes as well. On of them is-

We are each individuals, but the far greater thing is what we are together, and if that isn’t protected or cherished, we are headed to a bad place.

It is a perfect work of fiction which is equally touching. Overall a remarkable debut by this author!

Paradise Song

In the world of Hatredness, Full of agony and restlessness
Sing me a song of Paradise

In this world of Cruelty
Where faith is not humanity
Sing me a song of Paradise

Where humanity creeps
In the valley of corrupt powers
Sing me a song of paradise

That song of love
That love Bathed in sacrifice
Sing me that song of Paradise !

Sing
