Reaching There

We love to be with someone, whether it's your friend, wife, partner, love, parent or even an imaginary friend. As an introvert I would like to dispel the misconception that introverts don't like a good company. I love a good company, it's just that the company is generally one or two close ones...that's enough for having a good time.  And there is another partner I think we deserve to have. It's silence in our lives. It's easy to be surrounded with constant buzz of appliances, traffic, emails, Facebook, television and even people that sometimes overwhelm our lives. And it is necessary to drown out that noise and just enjoy a few moments of silence. OMG! Are you trying to say to shun out everyone from my life? Not at all, I'm just saying that sitting next to your companion and having a silent moment is the best moment perhaps you will ever going to share with that person.  Imagine sitting next to the person you love and enjoying a silent moment....

Our world is full of achievements. In a grand scheme of things my existence is a minute ripple in the sea of time. I perhaps don't even reach the shore of winning where all the waves merge one by one after their treacherous journey.  (Well, enough of metaphors!) I just meant that my accomplishments are small compared to inventors, scientists, spiritual teachers, teachers, entrepreneurs, poets, writers and others who brought something new in this world. I am an ordinary man with ordinary abilities and simple desires.  (I am relieved! Fake humility?) As I was watching Carl Sagan, Stephen Hawking and Arthur C. Clarke discuss God, universe and everything else I was amazed at the limited understanding of all these topics (and many more). (Whew! I'm so ordinary!) So what would be my achievement(s) in life? As I wondered I realized probably I wouldn't end up as a prime minister or a president or a CEO or a superstar or a celebrity or a Nobel laurea...
