My Virtual Letters: Roller Coaster

Dear Sheryl,

Isn’t life a rollercoaster for almost everyone around us? Perhaps the only differences I see in that roller coaster ride is in the speed of it, Renee, or at times the length of the track, at times the complexity of the ride – the acute degree of turns and the number of high rises and the steep falls.

Even in that ride, I am glad that you are in relative control, because only then will you be able to apply logic in the many aspects of living and have a calculative approach to problem solving. The mundane things are mundane, aren’t they, and it deserves only that much attention, right? The task in life to achieve, I think, is to get the big things right, and how delighted you must be feeling that you ‘are’ getting them right. The small ones, the mundane ones, are the little grains that will anyway fall in its place and are the ones that may not require much focus. More often than not, I struggle with the application of logic to the undercurrents of life, and recently, the arithmetic of my equations had to be erased and re-written in an attempt of correcting several wrongs.

My dear one, your words reflects your intention; the simplicity in being kind and the greatness of that virtue. I hope you will succeed in spreading that kindness, exposing to the light the disillusioned, bringing to the open ground the ones who are confined to their chambers of dark thoughts chained with their disempowering emotions.

Comprehending the struggles of lives around us is indeed a way to count our blessings; glad it is a cause you have chosen to travel for…with people around you in your neighbor-hood or church or in this virtual world.

Do well, and do them with a smile.

Shahir
