Know Yourself
I have realised how important it is to realize who you are and what kind of person you are and these should govern the place you choose to LIVE.
Let me explore the connection between your personal traits and the place that you choose to live. For comparision, I am taking 2 countries where I have lived namely India and the United States.
India: Its a social country, more importance is given to sentimental, emotional experiences and feelings. On any given day, these intagible traits are given more value than materialistic pursuits. Sharing and equality is emphasized and introspective journeys are encouraged.
Who should stay in India ? :
1) IF : " You believe in the overall upliftment of people around you"
2) IF : " You believe strongly in the concept of sharing and caring ".
3) IF : " You believe in the doctrine of re-birth and Karma and feel that what you do in this birth will govern who and what you are in your next birth.
4) IF: " You believe that you need to sacrifice your today for a better tomorrow".
5) IF : " You think that the world should rememeber you less when you are there and more when you are gone."
6) In short , if you strongly believe in Robert Frost's poem " Woods are lovely, dark and deep, but I have many more promises to keep, and I have got miles to Go, Miles to Go before I sleep."
United States of America : Its a personal country.Everything from clothes to food, vehicles, job, money, house is centred on an individualistic concept. There is more emphasis on your personal and individual growth.
Its a country that believes that every individual has to fend for himself and as an individual progresses, so will the society..In short, " Do what you want.. Be what you want to be. Man is the creator of his own destiny.."
Who should stay in the United States:
1) IF : " You value personal freedom and cannot let it compromised under any circumstances ".
2) IF : " You decide that life is short and we should make best use of the given opportunity."
3)IF : "You agree to the statement that, "Nobody knows what will happen tomorrow, Make HAY while the sun shines today ".
4) IF " You feel that you need to make a mark and prove yourself in this world by excelling in whatever field that you choose ".
So, as a result, our personal traits should harmonize with the general traits of the place in which we choose to live.
