Life, eventually, is the time we spend while going from one plan to another... a plan of how we are going to live our lives..... and the purpose of this plan is, usually, to satiate our desires..... I'll not take the holier-than-thou high ground and say that I'm an odd one out.... I am not... even this act of typing out a blog is planned in order to vent out my views.... so that new ones might come in..... but I've realized that we tend to ignore a small detail in our quest to quench the desire..... Deserve.... Do we ever even give a thought to determine whether we actually deserve what we desire?
There is a chain of events which precedes and supersedes this..... Most often, we have no idea as to what we deserve.... Nor are we quite clear about what we desire (and if we desire it at all!).... But we try our best to achieve it, nonetheless.... if we fail; we lose hope, we despair, we make cynics out of ourselves, we give ourselves a sense of false hope or finally, just make up our mind to try again.... If we succeed; we celebrate, we rejoice, we proclaim and then we realize the fickleness of this success..... fickle because it leaves us soon..... leaves us because we never deserved it in the first place...... we come back to square one...... I wonder how things would have changed, had we known what we deserved, in the first place.....
Whenever we measure something, there is an element of error involved.... this error either has to be controlled, nullified or embedded into the design..... even when we are measuring the value of what we deserve, the element of error exists...... this error is.... Over-estimation and Under-estimation.... we either think more of ourselves than our true self.... or we think less..... both these scenarios involve a lot of pain and dejection..... and both need to be avoided..... So where do we go from here?..... the answer lies in objectivity...... dont look at yourself in the mirror and see yourself..... see yourself in the mirror and see someone else..... look at yourself in the third person and ask yourself..... "Does this guy/girl really deserve what he is asking for?"...... The answer, depending on the extent of objectivity involved, holds the key to evaluating one's self worth....
Every man is a fraction.... The numerator being, what he is.... and the denominator being, what he thinks he is........ lets strive to give ourselves the answer..... 1
