A Box of Crayons


The above image is of a crayon box. The bright colours and the messy yet fun look caught my eye so and made me wonder-isn't our life also just like a box of crayons filled with a mixture of varied colours,some dark and some bright? We all have heard at some point of time of the necessity of all sorts of experiences in our life-good as well as bad and a box of crayons reminded me just that. To complete life's picture we do need the yellows and pinks but at the same time don't we also need the blacks and the greys?? We sure as well do and we have to come to terms with that. QOTB-Don't you think life would seem easier that way?

P.S.The answer to last week's QOTB is different for everyone but mostly it would be No as people prefer saving their family's and friends' numbers for their speed dials but people do keep emergency numbers at hand too. Adios with this thought!

In my experience life isn't easy for anyone - from the poorest beggar on the streets of India to the Bill Gates, one of the richest people in the world.

We are only happy if we adapt to our circumstances - not necessarily accept it, because it is wrong to accept shortcomings and limiting circumstances. It's how we deal with the grays and blacks along with the pinks and blues that determines how satisfying and fulfilling life is for a person.
There's a reason we have the blacks and grays - we wouldn't have need or reason to progress and improve without the blemishes in the world. And sometimes, the blacks and grays actually enhance the beauty of the larger picture. It's all about perspective and the choices we make...

Accepting shortcomings in life is not what I meant-I meant adjustment,adaptation and compromise only but some people do just that out of self pity and lack of self confidence-accept their suffering without any protest.
This is also one thing we must must do-fight for our rights and not just accept suffering or in more milder terms do what should be done-no way.We should do what our heart tells us to do even if we have to fight for it,like I said earlier-Fight Back...
