I'd love to end this post with one simple phrase 'I don't live with any fears'. But I know what it feels like to say that, it feels like you're living a lie. I am afraid of only one wretched sin. Stealing. I have learned about what this sin really is about and I live in a world where I am afraid that almost everyone is a part of it in one way or another (including myself). Stealing is not as materialistic as you may think. When one lies, it is stealing. When one kills, it is stealing. And so on..
When one lies, they are stealing the truth from the others. They are stealing their right to the truth. Similarly, when one kills, they steal a person from another. An unbounded list of relations can be mentioned here; a mother to a son, a son to a father, a grand child to a grandparent and so many other roles that people portray in their lives and that sin steals all that one could have ever meant to the people that knew him or her. But this is also a part of life, we live with it. We accept some parts of it, and wish for the betterment of everyone while we live through these events. And fortunately, life is a process (NOT an event). This allows for points in time when we learn from failures and experience some points in time when we feel as if we've been through this once and THAT is the second chance that you've wished for.
So, even though I live with this fear of a sin. I live by it to accept the reality and learn from the events in life that shape me and help me realize my potential bit by bit. Even though, we learn and think that we have an approximation of our potential every now and then but just when we try our luck, we find that our potential is unbounded.. unfortunately, until we bound ourselves. So, I pray that we live with a carefree and persistent attitude which will fuel every event that you have ever wished for.
Salutations,
Devarsh
