From the same plant

We see so much of contrast in nature - beautiful rose with thorns, etc. Why is it so difficult for us to then accept people as they are, if they are a little different from us? Why do we have this conflict ruining our peace of mind? You don't see plants cribbing abt it...

You might say that we do it coz we are human beings and we have a mind (which, I have been led to believe, also makes us superior, but don't get me started on that)...Our mind is the bane of our existence...too many expectations, anxieties, worries, miseries - and this is called life...!!!!

Why can't people live in harmony with each other?

(Disclaimer: I was not in a depressed state when I wrote this - I was just thinking about the wars in Iraq and Lebanon, among other things - so don't misinterpret my thoughts to mean something else :) )  ¶ 9:41 PM
