A Life on Your Own Terms

Between birth and death man lives through experiences varied
Individual environments inculcate in him differing levels of pride
He goes through phases of unconscious ignorance at the start
As he evolves heightened awareness may become an integral part

Every man faces complex situations with varied measures of sugar and salt
Intuitively he knows that he needs to persevere till his journey comes to a halt
His assessment of his current requirements necessitates a periodic evaluation
There are moments when he realizes that he may never rule life with self volition

Many make the error of comparing their lives with those whom they know
Many end up in grief when they fail to withstand the onslaught of the plough
Many are not able to forget the varied experiences that made their lives hollow
Many fail to forgive the people who they blame for life doling out nasty blows

Many have a limited vision and yet put on a farcical appearance to the world
Little do they mind that behind their backs society speaks ill about their guard
Many are lost in their craze for self admiration and need for self gratification
One may conveniently ignore reality and truth as one aims for self vindication

One can very easily live life on one’s own terms and can choose their pace
They just need to heed their conscience and provide each other their space
They need to actively seek out the truth and demonstrate the hunger and desire
They can’t forever satisfy the increasing worldly demand that needs them to remain in public glare!
