We are told to do many things in life, we should do this and we should do that. Which are secretly different than what we really want to do. We don’t want to follow any boundations but we think we should so we feel frustrated. Once I was in a seminar, and was teaching about the importance of self love and one person was very adamant on this fact that we should be thinking about the society and not about self and this is what is taught in our Dharmas too and I am not against any value or Dharma but the problem is we are taught this and we want to take care of ourselves and we keep swinging and living a tormented life. However, if we are able to take care of ourselves, we can take care of others better. If you are angry, you can only give anger, if you have love inside you, you can only give love. The equation is simple, you can give only what you have. In order to follow what we should do rather than what we do, we deprive ourselves of many things including love and appreciation. However, when we realise that we can do whatever we want to do, it becomes our responsibility and the biggest thing happens is we become free or else, we do what we like to do but we try to wear a cloak of what we should do and try to pass on the responsibility of action on someone else and then the society becomes a hypocrite society. You do something else, you feel something else, you say something else and don’t know how many standards came into existence. If you want to live a whole life, do what you want with your own responsibility, if its your responsibility, everything becomes your responsibility and you would be much stronger and more giving. You run away as right now you do what you think you should do, so you run away from your responsibility of doing that. However, the truth is you have done it and you are responsible for it. If you want to be you, do what you want to do. What you should do is a perception which is taught to you, who knows whats right and whats wrong, as per time anything can be right or wrong. So do what you feel like, everything is right but do accept responsibility.
