With a little help from my friends

One should not make the mistake of thinking they can make the land and sky meet just because it appears so over the horizon.

Some presumptions can be very dangerous at times. The mistaken sense of entitlement always turns into a full circle within the life time itself and mostly results in a shock. While some strong and wise ones learn from it and move on to create a better destiny by overcoming the mental agony, others mostly fall back dwelling in past glories and sulking with their adamant ego's.

Associating satisfaction with other's opinion is one of the most commonly acquired trait thanks to the social nature of the animal called Man. The hunger keeps on increasing as the praise keeps on satisfying, feeding the ever more hungry devil residing inside everybody. A big cat, a Tiger, does not wait for a standing ovation from other creatures after a successful kill. The Tiger eats up to his fill satisfying the requirement of survival and moves on. No hard feelings, no soft emotions.

Somehow, somewhere in the evolution, humans seem to have lost this bit and acquired a totally useless skill of feeding on other's acceptance and approval. Hence the prizes and rankings. Now ofcourse, this can be successfully disputed based on a difference in intent and calling it the advancement of the human race and ensuring the continuity of humanity. But I am just saying.

This brings forth the subject of understanding ones own self and knowing the others around us. Being an excellent communicator does not guarantee others acceptance and approval, it only ensures that the idea is passed around with relative accuracy as was intended in the originators mind.

The truest and the most accurate form of unbiased, uncorrupted communication is the one which happens with and within ones own self. Its the one which happens without any particular requirement of language or skill set. Its the purest form of simple understanding. You will almost magically, just know. Unlike popular belief, this form of communication is not limited or constrained to ones own self. It also occurs between closely bonded individuals. A mother and her baby, an owner and pet dog, in between a couple truly in love for instance.

The more one tries to convince and garner acceptance and approval, the tougher it becomes to accomplish. There will always be differences of opinion. There will always be an overworking mind. There will always be a bias. There will always be an ego. There will always be a selfish intent. And, so will there be a sinful existence.
