Emotions 2 - Working out

You are working out, you are on the last round, last set, few reps left. It feels very difficult to finish. But can you not? Technically, you can. Can your hands and legs and body not move? Well, they can. Let us see how it feels. So I push through. No matter how exhausted you are. You can savour the exhaustion. No matter how drained you feel; you have screaming emotions. But these emotions are also savoursome. I am curious and interested too. What emotions will I go through while I keep going? Experience it. So move. Experience how going through the tough emotions is. 

All this pushing may not be healthy, but it gives one proofs of what one can do so that you can push yourself when needed in some other way, again. What all can I do in this world? The world is a complicated challenge whereas working out is simple in comparison. I want to be strong enough with the strength of knowledge and skills to face the world and be able to have a good impact.

Are emotions traps or gifts? According to Srimad Bhadavatam, they are traps. I believed that for a long time but I have been rethinking lately. They have an importance. Gotta understand the importance of it all. The importance of the evolutes of Prakriti. It is all beautiful. It is not a lesser existence. I do not think so. It just is and it is amazing. It is not 'really' 'illusory'. It is a reality too, is it not?

On language

I read old literature a lot. I have read current literature a lot as well. And even though there is a lot that I disagree on with the philosophies of those old writers, there is still so much wisdom that I do agree with. Wisdom that they gained from their own life and observations.  I can't help but marvel at their eloquence, how they do not use simple English. I highly value how they are able to use complex words which convey so perfectly what they want to convey with such finesse, the way they so fully seem to use the tools that language provides. I disagree with the ones who vehemently purport the use of simple English and laud the skill required to do so. Okay, I agree with the latter, it does require skill and is sometimes needed. But when and where you can use complex English, you should be free to do so. It is playing with words on difficulty high. I aspire to reach there. I do not care much for simple boring sentences that tell you things but do not infuse you with feelings...

  In the Queendom of 'Obliviousness', there lived a witch. Her business was doing terribly. She had committed crimes and lied and misled people and she wasn't trusted anymore. She then decided to release a disease causing particle in the Queendom to sell her potions. The disease causing particle was released, and some people died. She made a deal with the Queen and the newspapers of the kingdom to scare people further and in return she would give them half of her profits. The newspapers' front pages now screamed horror. And people were aptly very scared.  Now the witch announced that she had made a magic potion that could save everyone. The newspapers hyped up this potion. Forgetting her past misdeeds, people clamoured for this potion. After taking the potion, many got ill..but the witch said, 'Oh, but that's expected! That shows that the potion is working!' But even after taking the potion, people were catching the disease causing particle and the witch sai...

I am the same as I was. Still wake up later than I intend to. Change of place neither changed me nor did it feel like diving into cold water. I have quickly transitioned into comfort here. I hoped to wake up with the sun but the sun here rises earlier, so that's a challenge. Is it me or is the sun here more ruthless than it was in my earlier place?  Eager to see how I settle into the social networks and classroom dynamics. It's going to be a long eventful two years and I'm hoping I accomplish plenty and not disappoint myself. I hope to stay on top of my assignments; the research and internship parts seem intimidating but I am going to face them as they come. I want those periods to be enjoyable.
