Few days back a gentleman shared his experience. When he was in college a new student took admission who used to come on wheel chair. In that age we laugh at people without caring for their emotion. So he started making fun of him with bad words and after few days, he met an accident. he could not walk properly after that. Even if he stepped down, it would pain him a lot. For a month he was bed ridden and then he walked on clutches. During all the time when he was recuperating he was thinking of the boy who was coming on wheel chair. He could understand that the boy was already going through lot of pain and when he was making fun of him, he was giving him further emotional and mental pain. He could develop compassion after going through own pain. In another incidence, when he had started his career, he had gone through lots of challenges in office. It was very difficult for him to survive and he used to curse that office. All day he worked very hard. But in his new job, he had a very relaxing environment. There was no one to question him or pressurize him. He became loose and he did not grow much. After that he realized that it is important to go through pain in office too otherwise, we stop learning which means we stop growing. He accepted he learned maximum as a professional in that job. It is true, the most difficult teacher teaches us most in life. So he would be very happy if he would get a difficult, more challenging job.
Why were we born? Is it only Karma balance? But how it can be? Then why are we given a liberty to create ,more, free will and do so many things. Why are we allowed to create a better tomorrow. Yes, we are here to create too. How would we create? For that we have to learn. To learn we have to go through some pain. It reminds me of a story of a butterfly. A gentleman was watching a butterfly struggling to come out of cocoon. She was in pain but and he could not see that. He broke the cocoon so that the butterfly could come out. But what he saw was she could not fly at all and she died after some time. he wondered and discussed with someone. The gentleman explained him that while going through that struggle, the blood reaches to her wings and she becomes capable of flying. But if we interfere in that, her wings cannot be developed. So she died when you interfered. We all go through pain, so that we can gain wings to fly. When we fly we see the flowers and garden. But if we do not learn to fly, we would die on ground. So choice is ours! The pain gives us an opportunity to be better.
