Be yourself ; a misunderstanding

SAUMYA MEHRA


There was a time when i was having too many losses of relationships due to losing of temper . One daymy teacher scolded me without any fault of mine and as usual i screamed Very much at  my teacher and that was wrong even if i was right. 

Teacher is the first god in journey of life how could i disrespect him and then i thought of changing my self because i was unhappy with deteriorating relationships of mine with everyone, friends ,teachers , parents. And then another dayiwas scrolling down in my phone i read about Buddha and being a student i want to know about him because of the wisdom he achieved and i read there his last words that is appodevobha womeans “be a light unto yourself” which means “be yourself” and I just cancelled  the thought of changing myself and satisfied  my behaviour and next day i was going somewhere with my family and a drunker was beating his wife in public and i thought to slap that guy but we walked off  . And that night i did not sleep thinking that if iwould get that kind of guy in my life and blah wlahand then i thought he is doing the same as i am doing “being self” . And more sleepless nights make me realised that being yourself does not mean stop improving or not improving . So just embrace and learn the lessons and move on.


Do not deny to a lesson of your life in the name of being yourself just because it wants some change in you.
