“ What is the feeling when you're driving away from people, and they recede on the plain till you see their specks dispersing? It's the too huge world vaulting us, and it's goodbye. But we lean forward to the next crazy venture beneath the skies.” -- Jack Kerouac (American Poet and Novelist) From what I have seen and admired in humans, they are eternal optimists. Goodbyes seem to break us, but we straighten up and walk, holding our head high, blinking away our tears. And as regards the specks of people dispersing, when something moves away, something else comes near. Guess that's how laws of nature move. If a time comes when nothing else comes near, it's when we will become really alone; alone to live and love life without any reason, taking the next step forward.
I would not like to agree with you. I personally believe "Jealousy" can never be a positive emotion. We feel jealous about someone when we are not happy with what they are or what they have. May be because we feel we can never have that or be like them. It can never inspire us to achieve something.
ReplyDeleteI would like to see waves as if they are competing with themselves, competing with their own levels, just rushing toward their own destinations, without bothering about each other.....
May be you are right. But to achieve something that is compelled by jealousy, we will have to remove that feeling within as short a time as possible and try to work towards removing the cause of that feeling. For example, if I feel jealous that somebody is dancing better than me, I should forget that jealousy as soon as it comes, and try to admire their talent, try to dance better so that one day I will be self-confident enough to not envy that person. Then comes success and that would be sweeter.
