Back to writing after a significant number of days. It is actually always nice to pen down, or in this case, key down your thoughts as I have seen you tend to significantly gain perspective through it.
It has recently occurred to me that intelligence is not something which we are bestowed upon us by the Almighty. Well it is AND it is not.. The intelligence which lets us flaunt our scholastic achievements are definitely bestowed upon by God; but what about the intelligence which lets us be happy? God has gifted all of us with a working brain, a device which can achieve so much that it is difficult to even gauge how much! It's our duty to embark upon or if you believe in Karma like I do, then God blesses you with perspective, the single most important thing in life, to let you be happy. Right now, believe it or not, in the most cheesiest Facebook-ish way possible, I actually am feeling blessed. I am not there yet.. But I am learning. Learning to unlearn most of the ridiculous things I have learnt over the years; the things which my surroundings have brainwashed me with. I am finally, with the grace of God, beginning to set myself free from most of the inhibitions that had held me back for the better part of my youth.
Reprogramming the brain is a really really difficult job, quite possible the most difficult job I have ever undertaken.. And here perseverance will definitely play a role.. Even though I previously recall treading this path a handful number of times before, I didn't have perseverance or rather perspective to keep at it. And not quit.. I can already feel I am learning.. To be intelligent.. To be happy.. or rather to be content AND not be unhappy..
This is an exciting phase in life.. Now every morning I get up with the hope of learning and unlearning more, learning to be intelligent and unlearning to be unhappy!
