DO YOU ACCEPT?
Standing on a high pole, you observe,
Falling down badly, do you accept?,
Flying above the clouds, you deserve,
Crawling on the ground, do you accept?,
Running endlessly for hours, you exhale,
Stopped by obstacles, do you accept?,
Always wishing to win, you prevail,
Failed by “almost”, do you accept?,
Dreaming of becoming an icon, you sleep,
Waking up to reality, do you accept?,
Searching ‘out’ for answers, you go deep,
Finding within yourself, do you accept?,
Doubting every word, you question,
Questioning yourself, do you accept?,
Building an object, you go for precision,
Errors in skill, do you accept?,
Framing out conclusions, you are relevant,
Hearing the odds, do you accept?,
Creating new ideas, you are intelligent,
Lacking the space to put it in, do you accept?,
Thinking of good for all, you are kind,
Finding yourself rejected, do you accept?,
Breathing slowly, you relax your mind,
Realizing the truth, do you accept?,
Learning with curiosity, you are glad,
Drowning in doubts, do you accept?,
Losing someone special, you are sad,
Ready to move on, do you accept?,
Of all that you see is good in you, you accept,
Ignoring the other side that’s hard to expect,
Fake percept and unstable concept, you respect,
But the reality of life, DO YOU ACCEPT???
Great post! I accept! 🙂
very touching
Hi Varun, I love this. I thought I had posted a comment on this before, but it doesn’t appear here. Thanks for great words.
That was on my blog…….varungenius blog…!!
This is a re-post on The Alternate Economy. Thanks for commenting again 🙂
@Varungenius: Thanks for the clarification, and THANKS to Alternate Economy for re-posting this great piece. Take a look at this morning’s two new posts, the last of which is http://gordoncstewart.com/2012/04/12/rep-allen-west-joseph-mccarthy-reincarnated/. The earlier one is on Denial. All the best to you both.
what is the reality of life actually ?
we create the reality…our reality..
is it as we see it?
yes! We create the reality 🙂
certanly..we create happiness but and unhappines .. we have the power..the real power! good luck!
Varun and Tristan, perhaps this could summarize what you posted.
Peace of mind is attained not by ignoring problems, but by solving them. – Raymond Hull.
hello, this one was authored by Varun, so I will leave a summary to him. Thanks for the comment!
Through this poem, I’ve tried to explain a concept just opposite of the title….”Ignorance”….! We accept the things that make us happy, but we ignore the ones that we think are not ‘benefecial’ for us…..althought they are the ones that teach us something very precious……something worth living for! I’ve highlighted various situations that we accept and then in the very next line, I’ve stated the situations that we voluntarily ignore….!
So, in summary, I would say “We should learn to accept what comes in our way, so as to live happily and peacefully!” as you said 🙂
Perhaps i didn’t mention….but I loved this poem. High tIme to reblog it.
