Cyberworld and You - Part 2
Facebook
Here I want to conclude my
first article on the same subject with important closing remarks.
I have tried to describe four signs of the DISEASED person - they may or may not apply any of us!
We are always comparing what we are with what we should be. The 'should be' is projection of what we think we ought be. Contradiction exists when there is comparison, not only with something or somebody, but with what you were yesterday and hence there is conflict between 'what has been' and 'what is'.
There is 'what is' only when there is no comparison at all, and to live with 'what is', is to be peaceful. Then you can give your whole attention to 'what is' within yourself and you can live with it completely.

J. Krishnamurti (Freedom From the Known)
Life begins with 100 and ends with 0 (zero). The death is the process of zeroing oneself physically (no body), intellectually (no brain, intelligence or thought process) and materialistically (you are owner of nothing). Death is a slow process progressing gradually. The Vedas tell us: up to 50 yrs full social life, 50 to 75 yrs live with family semi attached, and after 75 yrs go for Sannyasa (renunciation).
Can we start zeroing?
It is easy to fall into the habit of condemning others, even those we love the most. We criticize the way someone eats or the manner in which one speaks. We focus on the most minute details and find fault with the smallest of issues. But what we focus grows to the extent we start feeling it to be a great problem.
Instead, why not begin to respect the differences? Often, we perceive in others the weaknesses we most need to address in ourselves.
STOP BLAMING AND CONDEMNING.

Who Will Cry When You Die
George Carlin (Age 102) has this to say about LOVE and LIFE:
- Tell the people you love that you love them, at every opportunity.
- The only person who is with us our entire life is oneself. Love thyself the most.
- Surround yourself with people you love.
- Keep only cheerful friends.
- Laugh often, long and loudly.
- Enjoy simple things.
