He was cheated by his brother in his business and he fell sick after that. he went into depression and he did not want to do anything. His family was going through severe financial problems but he could not gather his courage to move. He kept blaming his brother for his condition and he said that I wanted to die. He was not bad but he lacked the courage to take action in his life. Whenever asked anything, he shared that I do not want to live. He was further apprehensive that at the age of 55 what could he do. So I asked him, what is the option here. Do you want to commit slow suicide like this or you really want to do something? We generally do not have an option in life and we need to start doing everything with faith. Because of depression and sitting at home, he had lost his physical strength too which made him feel further weak. Finally, he decided to get up and do something. First, he changed his routine, started getting up early, going for a walk and eating nutritious food. After one month, when he started feeling better, he started going to the office and he started doing work too. It took him some time but he could do it.
On the other hand, one lady was feeling very guilty. All her life she accepted that she had misbehaved with people. She was rude and she thought only of herself. She started realising that she was wrong when everyone including her own parents started avoiding her. She could feel the loss of respect in everyone’s eyes and she felt its too late. But its never too late and she realized that too. So she started correcting her behavior, she started being polite, less demanding in relationships, more giving and more tolerant. It took her a while but redemption was possible. And people accepted the new one too happily.
He never wanted to work. he borrowed money, delivered half work, took full payments and never gave back money. It kept going on like this for 5-6 years and finally, there came a day when he stopped getting work and any kind of money. HE was hungry and then he had an accident and no one came to help him. No one trusted him, so no one respected him. When he was lying in the government hospital, he realized he had damaged his life. When he came out, he started working again and decided to return all the money. It took him few years but he could.
Life does give us ample opportunities and it depends on us, when we start to live again. live again means life a life we are proud of. I have learned one thing, it’s never too late. And only way to have a good life is by becoming a good human being.
