Can't always protect it

Mar 23, 2012 17:42

Remember those new year plants? Unfortunately one of them withered away. And then there was this pair of nice formal shoes that I had bought more than an year back but used it very carefully and rarely. I guess I may not have used them more than 20-30 times in last year. Sole of both shoes tore away. Both incidents hurt. You can't always protect things by being overprotective. Don't know about the plant thing but at least that shoe incident taught me this. Be a responsible user but don't become too fascinated about something and become too overprotective about it. Couple of reasons. First, every thing has a shelf life. No matter whether you use it or not, it's gonna wither away at some point of time. And second, if you are not putting it to the application then that object, that thing is deprived of its purpose. It's like you have forced something to live a life outside the terms of their intended purposes. Everything, everyone deserve to walk their last with sense of fulfillment. No one should have that feeling of "something's amiss" at the end of their journey.

I want to do a thousand million things in my life. Might have done a few thousands. Can't say for certain as I don't maintain any count. Besides, keeping count can be a bad thing. It would mean that I would be more interested in starting something new but not conclude whatever was started. Hence, no counting business. Just do it. Just finish it. Those thousand million things should be all those whom I have brought to best possible logical closure from my side.
