Everyone on whatever phase of the earth they are in are a special creation to someone, somewhere! Everyone deserves a standing ovation for something in their lives not from a big crowd of people sometimes, not from a few but sometimes just from themselves! Everyone living is proud of themselves in some way or another but if we can't be who we are - (By this I mean, who we really are) - Life just ain't worth living! You've got to prove yourself more than proving to the world you are some amazing piece of flesh and bones. If you can prove to one person what you are worth - beginning with you - You can do wonders.
Why can't we just be who we are? Why can't we follow the age old adage - Live and let live? You've got just one life - We can't return the one life we have till we fulfil our purpose here on earth however menial it maybe. We can't deposit it somewhere. We're just given credit and whether you like it or not - You've just got to live and if you can't live it, let others live. As I was coming to work today something caught my attention - There was a small kid who could easily be around the age of 6 or 7. He was throwing a ball to his dog without turning his attention to anything else but his mom and the dog. And his mother seemed to be crying with joy just looking at that and she hugged her kid. A few on the road found that crazy and started sniggering and some laughed out loud. And he looked at them and started laughing at them too. Probably thinking everyone was happy for him. Find this crazy? Why? Yes, it's simple for a person to do that. But, that kid there was an autistic kid.
Not all of us are what we want to be, what we hoped we would be and what we ought to be despite our full potential. You are not what happened to you, but you get to choose what you can be - Yet, we take the time out to laugh at someone performing to his full potential.
Why is it that we have never learnt to laugh at ourselves and the ones who have learnt to laugh at themselves are labelled? My heart reached out to the boy - I was really happy for that family there! This little thing called - "Gratitude" played a major role in my life. I have never been more grateful - I have grumbled a million times over a number of things on just how imperfect I am. But seeing that mother happy for her child I realised that for everyone somewhere in the world we are just perfect. And that feeling of being that perfect person for someone in the world is just slowly sinking into me.
For all those Brainiacs who laughed this Ted Talk would definitely make you think twice! This Ted talk from Ruby Wax is a Must - Watch. As stated by her "Diseases of the body garner sympathy, except those of the brain. Why is that?"
