While striking a casual conversation with a friend, she cracked a joke with a tamil movie 12B, and series of life incidents based on one's choice in life! Though she uttered few words on the flow and and topic took a total different dimension, she left a strong seed in my mind to assimilate and ponder over. and its mind boggling when you jot down with various life choices so far and what would have been your life if you have chosen one over other!
12 b is tamil movie which talks about life's choices and what your life could have been, It goes by a guy's life who misses OR catches the bus(12B) for a job interview and related consequences /life sequences in those 2 directions (either miss or catch the bus!)
When applying this in my life and thinking thro the past, ofcourse there are some real major life choices and incidents as well! One in 2002 and other in 2007. Once upon a time, I used to walk life by pre-set protocols that made my parents/family happy, that society defined, that I thought is beneficial for goodness, that is righteous as per Hinduism's definitions. Yes life has its own plus and minus based on our choices! Sometimes we loose peace and happiness for matter of survival/materialistic success ! Sometimes we walk a lot for the game of love and ethics, and loose everything else! So, what defines one's life?
Depending upon your phase of life, one may need to choose if its to sacrifice your love or happiness or values or principles or your materialistic gains or success in life! Life is tough, and making choices arent any easy!
Lets say a students life! Very very important phase of somebody's life to define another 60/70 years! Key Choice! If I were a student thinking about if i want to continue my higher studies in India or in USA, one would easily choose land of opportunities to have a great future. But on what cost? what do you loose? we loose the happiness what we could give to our parents, we may live with guilty feeling that one wasnt close to loved ones, But other hand your own life also happens! Are you willing to sacrifice a great future, a great education system, a great job , a sophisticated life, ameriacan dreams being true, over set of sentiments? Probably you may have better instruments in your hands later (by choosing materialistic gains) to make your loved one's life better too!we could still make up the loss ! Who knows! Its a trade, not a easy trade :), but a wise trade defines your life!
Same story goes to every individuals with life's choices in any age /phase of life! Decisions are always hard for me, atleast a 100% Libran female! But it happens and life goes on :)
