I consider this as one of my Lessons for Life. There are few lessons which in life makes a very great difference.
This might happen/happened with everyone of us, UNNOTICED. But Is this right? Be your own judge, for I am putting "my" views on it.
How many times have we frowned at people because we don't seem to like the way they dress, they talk, they move?.
Recollect how many times we have fought with husband just because they do things that "we" do not like.
Why is he so short-tempered?
Why is he never romantic?
Why is he workaholic?
Why is he so talkative?
Why is he so moody all time?
Did we ever realize that we always look for people who do things in OUR WAY. We tend to incline and appreciate things that are done according to OUR INTERESTS.
But Why? Don't we appreciate the concept of INDIVIDUALISM? Honestly speaking, most of us DONT. Some knowingly, Some unknowingly.
'I am too romantic, but he is not'. 'I love hanging out but he always want to sit at home'. 'I am very social but he is not'.
HE WONT, because HE IS NOT 'Y O U'
How many times we had silently wept for these differences, or argued for it?
Though it is always good to have your own choices and interests, it is always essential to appreciate the INDIVIDUAL inside everyone.
Is it wise to hate or frown at someone just because they are not YOUR TYPE? They are not the way you need them to be? They are not the way you want them to be?
If we do so, then WE ARE JUST LOVING OUR OWN REFLECTIONS and not the other person truly.
Appreciate the individual inside. Start looking at them as individual. Do not always associate what they do with what you like.
How easy it is to say that you don't like this, you don't like that etc. How difficult it is to say you love everything you come across.
But have we ever realized how positive and nice we feel once we started appreciating, loving everything/everyone who comes across in our lives. Believe me, you will start feeling much lighter and infact be accumulating more person in your "I like them" list.
STOP LOVING YOUR OWN REFLECTIONS IN OTHERS.
LOVE THEM FOR WHAT THEY ARE..
