Many a times things happen right in front of us, an accident, a baby given birth, a drop of rain falling... Sometimes we desperately want to be a part of the celebration... sometimes we wish we never was in it.. we see success happening.. the rise and fall of people.. countries being ravaged upon.. people being killed.. We feel things slipping away from our hands, taken away from us; never to be felt again in life, never to be where we wish it to be... Almost like a whisper in the back of our mind we hear ourself "you could have done something". But we let go of it... Just when we were about to clinch it..
Ever wondered why we are not able to do things that we wanted to but couldn't. We find it easier to forgive things than to fight for it. And we have a wonderful brain who keeps us optimistic by reminding us of the better things in life and slowly erasing the bad times we had. But many a times we are engrossed in the thought process of what to do what not to do. Most of our time and energy is spent just because we are not able to make a decision upon whether to go for it or not.
An event horizon is a boundary, an area surrounding a black hole, beyond which events cannot affect an outside observer. Light emitted from inside the horizon can never reach the observer, and anything that passes through the horizon from the observer's side is never seen again. Thats how our brain also functions. We don't see or hear things that we don't want to and once our thoughts or observations about anything passes that filtering of ours, that event horizon of ours, its never to be seen again, never to be remembered about and above all will not affect us in any case.
What we need to have is a very clear cut event horizon in our thought processes. One which makes our goals and ambitions in line with what we want. Nothing else should be of concern.. Then one will have peace within him. Ever wondered how the most murderous of the murders is able to do what he is doing. Ever wondered what made Gandhi do what he did. Clarity of thought about the ultimate goal and the ambition. Nothing else matters. Nothing else should matter..
