Mind Numbing Epiphany

You know i had heard this phrase quite a few a time before, but i was never able to figure out the exact meaning of these set of words.

Then suddenly, today, life cited a beautiful example and the meaning hit me hard, BANG!!

Whoever said that eclectic wisdom is greater than pedantic one, must have been having enviable assets for wisdom.

Anyways, coming back to epiphanies, they are described as:

A comprehension or perception of reality by means of a sudden intuitive realization

and trust me it is sudden, damn sudden if you ask me. And when the realisation hits you, it feels as if you have been thrown off the support you had been countng on, into the deep abyss filled with barbed wire and cacti! I am not exaggerating, it can be even worse, depending on your outlook to life.

So how to avoid these rather uncomfortable experiences?

Simple! Stop Expecting! For the established truth hardly ever hurts. It is when you expect(hope) something to be true, and then it turns out to be false, that the things become unbearably painful.

I would like to go even one step further and suggest that a person is always better off alone. For it is dependence on animate and inanimate objects that makes us expect, hope, dream whatever!

Be happy with what you are given and dont ever force yourself on anything/anyone. Whatever you need shall be provided with time and what you desire, can, very easily, remain a desire forever.

Mind still goes into a comatose state as I think of what has happened today. I never wished to put it on blog, but then a thought not shared is a thought never had.
