Is Beauty an illusion and those chasing it illusionary?

I came across a very profound and beautiful piece of poetry. The topic reflects the last two lines of that poetry only. After reading such a beautiful piece of work I felt like penning down my thoughts on this. Beauty as per me is not an illusion nor one who is chasing it is illusionary. Saying this we need to realize something important that is - An illusion has everything to do with this physical world. It is like a dream that we are into and what all we see in the dream is nothing more but an illusion. Once we wake up neither the dream survives nor the illusion. The beauty we define in this world is a subjective term. For some beauty may be: fair skin good physic long hair eyes nature music, and so on If we pay heed to all these beauties stated above they fade away with time. This makes it an illusion. Remember anything subjective can never be the truth. As truth always and always remains one. Truth never changes nor does it fades away with the time. True bea...

How to be Positive?

How to be Positive? This is the question I received from one of my friends and was asked to share my view on the same. Though the question was specific to the pandemic, my views are more generalized.  When I heard the question I was like - how to be positive is not a tough question to answer because  we are by default positive. we become negative by choice only.

Self What it is ?

Self what it is? Let me share a response I received on it from a well-settled woman. "For me self is respect -  Like keeping myself equal to all other people like kid husband Or in-laws  May be u ll get this Or not but in a girl's life, they always keep others over themselves... Like first food, ll be given to kid husband in-laws then herself.  For me equal right for all as well me" The response is a shock for me. The reason is very simple the response shows the scar that a woman is carrying on her Self and they are so deep-rooted that even a strong person like her deep inside is struggling to remove them even by achieving so much in life. This is a reason for great concern as if we are so much entangled by such things then I should say we should forget about self. Why I am saying this? The reason is simple, the response of this woman is often heard which states that even those whom we look up to in the society are themselves looking or hunting or wanderin...
