This week we started a brand new year, and as everyone celebrates the change, do we agree we need and we do change every day?
let’s enjoy the colours of life too. All the different emotions that we experience during our lives are just like the colours we see around us.
Some stand out, some blend with other colours to give different shades, some leave a permanent mark, while some get covered with other colours. But we experience all of them as they get applied to us. Just as the different emotions that makeup life, some are experienced more, some only for a brief moment, some illusory and some that leave an indelible mark on us.
Love, anger, ecstasy, fear, sorrow, delight, all different colours that make life the festival of ’emotions’. Just as every colour in the rainbow is important to produce pure white light, all emotions have to be experienced to make life complete.
Every emotion has a learning attached to it if only we would take a step back and enjoy the learning because this will help us enrich our lives as well as the lives of those around us.
Remember when we play with colours on Holi, we become as good or as bad as our neighbour. An outsider looking at us cannot identify who is who. So if all of us be true as an individual, there would be harmony in the functioning of society.
In this journey of colourful emotions, let us all open our hearts to each other and watch the rainbow of emotions produce the pure white light of happiness as the year brings in another opportunity to unfold the new us
