Life through a snowflake shape!!


In winter time I have this fascination of looking at snow flakes and their amazing shape. Its just a master piece of symmetry. Physicists may attribute this perfect symmetry to many scientific phenomenon. In fact they say that even a snow flake follow that "Golden Ratio" rule. An interesting concept to ponder through......it is something which I cannot explain in simple sentences or I can say I am not that intelligent enough to put it in few words. Whatever may be the case, let me keep all these scientific concepts aside and put some philosophical thought to it for sometime ;-)
      During this winter time whenever I happen to hit the road while snowing, I spend most of time looking at the snow flakes falling on my car glass. Even a smallest of the small flake tends to retain its beautiful shape through the heavy winds and reach its destination with all the glory :) in spite of the fact that it is going to loose all its beauty pretty soon.Every creation around us is able to do some justice to its very existence in one way or other without any fear of loosing itself. Then why alone human beings!!! We try to make our lives so secure that we are ready to bend ourselves in any form that keeps us moving!! If that new form gives us right attitude then there is no issue but if it is the other way round then what sense does it make to assume those forms!!!We need not be like a snow flake which bears all the winds to retain its shape but at least try to mould ourselves in a right way during difficult times. Anger, jealousy, hatred, pride, fear etc. all these are various unwanted forms each of us try to take during difficult situations. No one is exception to those. Of course I know we are all humans and to err is human. But as kids we were able to correct all our mistakes and learn!! why not now? Let us not be blinded by all these vicious thoughts anymore no matter what may come!! I think I scribbled enough philosophy for today ;-) Just want to end this with a nice quote I read today from my little friend "It's true, some wines improve with age. But only if the grapes were good in the first place." How true? If you have a right attitude everything should be perfect like a snow flake shape ;-)

The last quote was just like an icing on the cake.
Its very tru, we were able to mend our mistakes when we were young, untampered and but sometime we got a friend called EGO who doesnt let us accept our mistakes and who doesnt let anything go!!!
Let us teach ego that when he was a kid he was better :)
