Thanks to my whims and fancies, recently, I got myslef into some trouble and botheration which was uncalled for. Given my traits and behaviour, this wasn't something new for me since that is how I have grown-up and now I have started accepting such situations as part of the routine life. But my indifference to the grave situation was certainly a cause of concern for my well-wishers, and it seemed difficult for them to accept my indifference.
And then I shared the analogy of the ECG (ElectroCardioGram). Probably, we all have seen the ECG of the heart. How does it appear to be - ridges and troughs or ups and downs (in medical terminlogy, represented by the P, Q, R, S, and T waves). And what does the ECG show when a person is dead - a constant straight line!
The situation is similar to what keeps happening in our day to day lives. We all desire stability, which is nothing but a CONSTANT STRAIGHT LINE - it implies DEATH! Perhaps someday we would appreciate that the ups and downs are symbolic of the existence of a normal and healthy life. Then only we would be able to accept the so-called bad or troubled phases of life as a routine activity.
