Blooming Like a Lotus.

One of the crossroads at which one often
finds one's self is...whether to react to
painful and stressful circumstances or not.
When your carefully worked plan goes awry,
when a friend betrays you or when society
ridicules you and your idealism is crushed...
It is natural to react with anger,depression
and hopelessness.
At such instances it is extremely difficult
to be equanimous and steady.Genuine growth of
character begins when you realise that although
you are being subjected to the pulls of
contraries and your feelings are playing
havoc with you,there is a purpose of it.
The choice presented at every such
situation is like a lotus.
