We read, in many books and articles, that tough time never lasts and so does the good time. But, have you actually realised this in your day to day routine activities. Probably not. However, this is really very important to do this because the small frame of life always reflects in the big frame of life. If you are able to realise this in your daily life, it would be much easier for you to stay calm, focused and most importantly be in peace in bad times in your life. This happens because you would already know the facts about this time given that you have realised it before. You can always and easily simulate the bigger situation with the smaller one that you have witnessed.
Recently, my one year old boy got very sick one day. Normally the fever is because of the growing teeth and we handle this by giving him PCM. But this time it was very different, he did not get well even after taking the medicine three times in a day. In the evening we went to a private hospital for the check up and found that he needed to be examined by giving blood samples for any kind of infection. So, after formalities, we went for it. There is saw that 2-3 nurses would hold my boy so that he does not move and one of them would take the blood. She tried to inject the needle but did not find the vein. She was just penetrating and taking that out again and again and my boy was crying out very loud. We could not bear that, so we stopped them for the further process and came back home.
But the fever had to be taken care of. At mid night he woke up and started crying again. We took him to nearest hospital where they measured the temperature and told us that it had to taken down. The assistant suggested me to do sponging with cold water. We followed him and saw that after few minutes the temperature dropped down and we gave our son the PCM and then again sponging. The fever went away, we took him home.
After seeing him crying and suffering from situations like this made me feel very bad for him. Because at such high temperature he was made naked and sponged with cold water. Even adults get scary of this. But, today when i saw him playing in the garden with full joy and happiness, I realised that whatever the time it is, it can never last. It only lasts for some time and makes us think as if it is going to last forever in that particular short duration of time. It only distracts us from the peace that we can live in and takes us to the mess that we do not want to.
So, time will just keep going up and down, it never decides the way we should be living our life, rather they are our stability and calmness in every situations that decide our way of living. And how these qualities will come to you? Simply by introspection. You have to look into yourself and around you and analyse every frame of your life to be more experienced and peaceful. By doing so you are allowing yourself to be open and free in front of every time that comes to you. You would be enjoying every moment of your life. Everything would just seem to be an experience and nothing else.
