On Life (Dr. Anna Sekhar)

1.
How much do we realise the value of life?
How do we know of life's worth?
Have we ever thought how unpredictable our life is?
Do we ever think for what period we live in this world?
Have we understood simple truths of life?
Have we taken a moment to care for each other?
The truth is we have done none of these; 
we live in a world of delusion.
Young or old does not matter. 
Facts of life are still the same!

2.
Life is an unpredictable journey
Sometimes rough and at other times smooth.
Life throws challenges at us to make us 
feel grounded and empathetic.
Life is a big-time teacher who imparts 
lessons that no university can teach.
Some chapters of life interesting 
yet hard to understand.
While some of us learn to accept 
facts of life positively, some of us fade.
Life throws its hard tests to make us better and not bitter.
Passing these tests is not easy 
but requires endurance. The more tests 
we take on, the more polished we should become;
that refinement is in our hands.

3.
Mere education is insufficient to have a successful life;
Understanding the nuances of life gets 
better with every new situation thrown at us; 
Life teaches us lessons that no schooling imparts, 
some easy and some an acid test to test the true us.
Learning these lessons well is an art, 
a skill that many fail and many misuse 
without a proper understanding.
When you open a chapter in life, 
learn it well only to know where and 
when to use in the future. 
Life gives us hints to polish ourselves; 
it is up to us to take it or leave; 
to refine and shine like a diamond or remain covered in dust.


4.
Life is ridiculously short but
Do we realise this at any point?
Life teaches us nothing is permanent 
but do we mend ourselves?
Life imparts teachings with practical experiences, 
do we learn it?
Life reminds us that we cannot plan way ahead, 
do we listen to it?
Life shows us that life is unpredictable,
Are we willing to accept it?
Life throws varied challenges and hardships 
for us to polish, do we polish? 
Life is simple but do we get it?
As homo sapiens we complicate our life and 
that of others, insult and scoff others. 
Let us mentor rather than mock others. 
Let us grow and help others grow. 
That is a simple way of divinity.

5.
When life throws challenges at you
You then think like a good human;
When life places you under tough times, 
you behave a good human;
When life teaches you lessons,
You play the victim's game;
When life throws the unexpected at you, 
you start knowing humility then;
When life turns against you heavily,
You think you are that chosen to show 
ll the self-pity! At no point, di humans 
think all these lessons are to help us 
change for the better and not bitter.

6.
Life is not meant to be lived ridiculing others, 
live to see them grow;
Life does not insist you to accept all,
Live learning to be encompassing;
Life is not meant to shower insults on others, 
live using kind words;
Life does not force you to be calm,
Live learning to control your temper;
Life is not meant to b lived miserly,
Live learning to share whar you have.
Life does not ask you to be subservient, 
live by not dominating.
Life is not meant to be harsh on yourself, 
live knowing you are a human; someone prone to be imperfect.
