TORN

                       Have you ever had this feeling like torn between two things and not knowing which to choose?
You want this thing and yet you want something else at the same time . This is the duality of nature  working .
We are facing a lot of  choices in our daily lives and more often  we do not really know which to pick .
What kind of shirt goes well with my pants? Which color is good for my shoes? Which brand of make up should I buy? Which ideal woman should I marry? The one who can write well but isn't so pretty or the woman who is pretty but couldn't write a single paragraph? Each and everyone of us is facing this kind of dilemma. It may be a different kind of dilemma or choice but somehow we must stand and decide sooner or later.
                               
                       Our mind is  not very reliable , it is fickle . It races into four different directions all at the same time .Try to imagine a horse drawn carriage with four horses racing in four different directions. What happens to the carriage ? Its lost and may dwindle in four different paths all at the same time. Chaos.          


                        To take hold of the mind is  sometimes futile. It is bombarded with hundreds racing thoughts on a daily basis. Which , when , where , who?  


                        Next time I will be facing another dilemma in my life , I would close my eyes first ...
breathe deeply ...then listen to my heart. The heart can always see what the eyes cannot see...
