We live in duality
birth and death
happiness, grief
Sunshine and darkness.
Nowadays
We accomplish much more
And adjust so little
Crib so much
but accept so little
Talk so much
and understand so little
Is there prosperity now
or is it loneliness
These little ironies of life……….nowadays.
Little ironies… very poignant.
😦 We are missing the small joys, I feel
Excellent.post Compared to what the earlier generation we seem to have more
We have many rich comforts
But still suffer from low contentment
We are in plenty in wealth
But our hearts have in size shrunk
We have unbounded craving
Our chase behind joy never ending
We have education big and high
Our values have become warped and dry
We have our own well built spacious homes
With our parents biding time at senior homes
We have big and small temples all around
But piety and devotion nowhere are found
Wonderfully expressed KP sir.
oh yes .. because nowadays is not Those good days ..
I did not say that Bikram. Materially times are better now. But patience, tolerance, adjustments are all less now. Even if u c in a family, couples will not be ready to adjust, our egos have puffed up thats all.
🙂 i did not say you said it , thats my view of today ..
you have given so many examples so how can now be better 🙂
He he…ok truce 🙂
Bhagyashree,
Hit the nail on head squarely. Brought out truth so well.
Take care
Glad that u agree with me Jack Uncle
yes…we did accomplish more and still crib a lot….:)
Yes we do 😦
very true!!!! Specially the cribbing part 😉
That is a common trait now. Even my 5 yr old does that, the whole day 😀
BItter truth of this developed world we are living in….
wonderfully penned 🙂
I was very upset reading some posts Irfan and actually I was about to post a long rant but then thought these lines would be more powerful.
