She always said it’s only one life. She was married, had a joint family and she felt restricted. She wanted to live her life her way. After all, it’s only one life we have. She wanted to go out with friends to drink alcohol, every weekend was a must. She wanted to live separate from her family. She did not want children because then how would she live her life. But then she had a baby and she had to be around. And after 2 years, she started her lifestyle again. After all, it’s one life. When she was old and jarred her son did not come nearby her. HE never wanted to see her face. She always cried for his attention and he told her he had no emotions for her. She wondered she only wanted to live her life her way and she did then why things were not good. Why people have a problem when she did not disturb anyone else?
Ideally yes, people should not have a problem with her lifestyle especially when she was not disturbing anyone else. This is one way to see it. Second thing, why she should follow the norms of society. She lived her life the way she wanted. But there are problems:
- Her husband was paying all the bills, so he would have some expectations.
- She gave birth to a child and who is responsible for the child? If she was not, then she forgot her mother took tender care of her when she was a baby. Still, if she did not want, then it’s her son’s choice to take care of er when he grows up. After all, it’s one life.
- She did not bother about anyone when she was young, when she was old, no one bothered about her.
- Is it give and take? Yes, it is. It is a Universal give and take. Whatever you are putting in, you are taking out from the cup of life. If you put in good, you will get good.
Then there is another story. He was born in slums. He was growing up there. But he always helped in whatever way he could. He kept helping. He gave biscuits to small children, helped people in lifting things, massaged old people’s legs and everything he could do. He met an accident at the age of 24 and there were some 200 people ready to do anything for him. Everyone collected money, people cooked for him, paid his hospital bills, his entire slum gathered to support him. He did not have money but he shared lots of love.
Yes, it’s one life. We need to decide, what we want in return and we shall spend life as per that.
