Luxurious Life

 

Dear Friends

Wishing you a Blissful Night

 

Until recently, most of us aimed for a luxurious lifestyle.

We wanted a huge home to live with all modern amenities

We also wanted all types of labor reducing and time saving gadgets.

In addition to all these we wanted to have a fat bank balance

to spend our life.

 

Here we work to earn or not is immaterial.

We also want an understanding and loving  spouse 

and well behaved children.

In addition we want obedient servants.

 

If we achieve all the above our life time ambitions are fulfilled

All the above needs are materialistic and based on money.

It also suggests we are addicted to money.

We crave for financial status and social status.

We have forgotten the simple and contented lifestyle where

Our life is not centering money but centering happiness.

 

Let us introspect::

Are we happy in our luxurious five bedroom bungalows?

We have accumulated a huge sum of money in the bank.

after slogging day and night

One day we may have to die leaving all that without enjoying a single coin.

 

Happiness, contentment, peace of mind, love, joy, care etc are

now becoming precious and not reachable by many.

In Spite of earning and accruing a huge sum of money people are

not regarded or respected.

What is the use of having a five bedroom bungalow or a fat bank balance?

 

Then are we living luxuriously?

No Not at all.

What is luxurious living?

Luxurious living are the simple pleasures of everyday life

that will make us smile

When we think about them

They are exclusive pleasures but inexpensive ones.

They are free and do not involve any cost.

But we have failed to understand or recognize them because

we are busy running behind money.

 

We undertook severe challenges and overcome obstacles to attain wealth

So we had to sacrifice many simple pleasures and our precious health.

Good health is rare and precious.

If a person leads his life without taking medicines then he is definitely

 leading a luxurious life.

So staying healthy without visiting the hospital is a luxury.

Walking freely on the river bank or in a garden inhaling the fresh

Natural Air with our loved ones is also a luxury.

 

Enjoying the food prepared in the home and eating with our

loved ones and friends

Making fun of each other is not just a joyful time pass but

it has become a luxury these days.

 

We are living in a stressful environment.  

Many factors of our fast life triggers stress.

So we are neither smiling or laughing loudly.

We have actually forgotten to either smile or laugh

So we feel that life is taxing

Happy smiling face is a luxury these days.

Laughter is also a luxury.

 

We have no time to enjoy affectionate gestures and to enjoy nature

So we don’t watch sunrise or sunset. We don’t observe how flowers bloom

We don’t take an early morning or late evening walk.

All these have become luxury for us these days.

 

We are even forgetting that being alive at this moment is due to

God’s blessings

Many are not waking up from their sleep.

Many lives are ended in road accidents

As we breathe in fresh air, many are through a ventilator

due to corona virus.

Many have lost their lives.

Life is precious. Living is beautiful

So living a life on this earth is a Luxury.

 

Appreciate the fact that we are alive to enjoy the richness of life.

Be thankful for it and be happy that we are alive.

Let us complain less. Be grateful for our life.

So let us start smiling more and feeling less stress

Let us enjoy a simple, luxurious life

 

Kind Regards
