Not everyone gets everything...

I'm not good at this philosophy thingy, but something just prompted me to write this post. I'm sure all of us have experienced this feeling and also have said it ourselves that I haven't got this, I haven't got that.

Well, something that I strongly believe in (which has also been quoted by Thalaivar Rajinikanth in some of his movies) "What god has given you- noone can take it away from you and what he has not given you, noone can give it to you." And also "Everything that happens, happens for good."

Well, the above philosophy "Everything that happens, happens for good" has been interpreted in a different way (or is it my perspective- I don't know) in the movie- Dasavatharam. There is this climax scene, where the Tsunami occurs, as the villain is about to unleash a deadly virus, which can be killed only by NaCl (Sodium Chloride- common salt, which the bush portrayed in the movie doesn't know) and the richest source of it is the ocean as anyone might know. In that final scene, one of the characters (the movie has 10 characters- all done by the legendary Kamal Haasan), argues saying that god could have saved the world not by unleashing such a tsunami but by not giving scientists such brains to produce deadly viruses or by preventing bush from pumping in huge amounts of money for bio weapons research. Strictly, looking at the perspective of each event in the movie- I could only say that tsunami took comparatively lesser lives than what would have happened had the virus been unleashed.

Anyways, I think that s too complex an example, some people may not understand. Simpler one- day to day life- You are starting to college/ office or whatever. Due to some reason you are delayed and somehow you miss your usual bus. And you, by nature start cursing that you missed the bus and take some other mode of transportation to reach your office. Finally when you reach office you learn from someone that there was a huge traffic jam on the route that the bus normally takes and everyone in that bus have not yet reached their destination. Then, you give a huge sigh of relief.

Another simple one. There was this movie which had just released and the hype surrounding the movie was such that it would be the movie of the year. So, all of my friends decided to bunk classes and go, while I, due to some reason couldn't bunk that day. When I got back home, I called one of my friends to ask about the movie. My friend said-"Thank god you didn't come. It was that bad."

Well, some people do get somethings for a reason too. We all get some problems in everyday life, these problems- strengthen us from within. Once we surpass that problem, it gives us the confidence that we can do anything after that. Some people get things very easily. And once again to quote one of Superstar Rajnikanth's dialogues "What man gets without working hard for it- will not last and what man gets for working hard- lasts till the time he dies." Such is the truth of the philosophy that you can actually see it staring right at you. Open your wallet and you see Gandhi staring at you, my friends, how did he end up on the Rupee note? Well, he worked hard for India's independence and got his face printed on the national currency. Thats when somethings last even after you are dead.

Now take the case of a rich guy, who has tons and tons of money. He would have to live in constant fear of being robbed, being cheated. He eyes everyone with suspicion, including his wife and kids. Now- he was given wealth and of course the talent to maintain and expand his wealth. he was not given peace of mind. Similarly, think of the guy who hasn't too much money with him- he has no fear of being robbed or cheated. He lives happily with what he has. But at the same time he would certainly have his own problems.

I have seen certain live examples myself- some guys who are so damn intelligent and good looking as well, but due to some reason- they don't have those close friends who would support them. They obviously would have friends who would have used them for homeworks, assignments, etc. At the same time guys with the dumbest of brains have all the friends in the world. There were a few guys whom I know well, they studied extremely well, but just due to lack of communication skills (this is the case of so many students studying in good colleges), they did not get placed, but something good has happened for them as well. Such is life that noone gets everything. Everyone misses out on something.

Not everyone gets everything. Not everyone gets everything.
