When will life be ‘better’?
When we realized our senses and started using it we were made to go to school. They said once you are out of Kinder Garten, your life will be better. In primary school they said, once you get into secondary school life will be better. It was 8th, and they said both 8th and 9th are foundation years for 10th, and if you pass out 10th with good marks life will be better. Tenth was over, and they said 12th standard is what that will decide your future. People with good route memory got into Engineering or Medicines, and rest all thought they compromised on their lives and they managed to do some degree here and there.
While at college they said – this isn’t time for love and relationships, but if you score good marks you will get a good job. After studies we are forced to beg for a job, and when we are thrown with one, they say now you work hard for promotion because if you are promoted life will be better. Now we have a job, but none agrees to marry us. And they say, once you get married - life will be better.
We are married, and before the honeymoon is over they ask – how many kids? They say life will be better after kids.
We work harder and harder and reach the retirement period with lots of efforts. Life becomes miserable at home post retirement – wife nags, children disrespect, and the society rejects (expect for the banks which gives more interest rates for senior citizens – these bloody banks don’t want senior citizen to enjoy life and spent money even now). And when there is nothing else to do, we visit temples and pray to God for Moksha – now we want to escape the vicious cycle of life!
And we start thinking life might be better after Moksha!
