Criticism and Denial

Recently I went to collect my 10 year old son’s school books and uniform. As usual there was heavy rush and chaos. Well let me explain the process they were following. It was simple token system, for first come first serve basis and school security was distributing tokens as we enter in the school premises. We were the last to enter and our token number was near 100, while current number which was going was in twenties.

All the parents were given proper sitting arrangements. As we took our seats we found growing dissatisfaction from parents on on-going process. Initially I too participated and contributed to it. Later I realized, school authorities were trying their best to avoid any unnecessary delay and were making sincere efforts for smooth functioning of their process.

This triggered my thought process, and I felt that in today’s world we live in state of constant criticism and denial. Allow me to explain it in detail.

In this times when technology has edge than any thing else. When we not only have access to rich and famous people, through their blogs; we even can make our comments on the opinion expressed by them (whether they really write their own blog and serious in reading viewers comments is another debatable topic). When we can comment on any article published on web. We think we can talk and criticize any person, process or idea.

We are so lost in this unfruitful criticism that we fail to introspect and rediscover ourselves. Come on, we have to agree that no ones life is perfect and there exist no living person (excluding Yogis) who is satisfied and happy with what live has given him and the way life is treating him. Instead of improving on us, we spend time on correcting and commenting others, which is obviously convenient and easy.

So we are in state of criticism towards outer world and denial towards our inner world. I think when we achieve doing exactly opposite we will be on true path of life. Accepting ourselves as we are, with our positive and negative strength and capacity. If we try to improvise or fine tune from this step then we will have some definite thing to achieve and cherish.

In short minding our own business and not interfering with others.

So, concluding on positive note I would like to end my thoughts. First let sincerely access ourselves before making comment on others. Let’s have harmony inside us, so that we might have near to perfect orchestra performing in our heart.
