Last week I finished my graduation. Its still difficult to understand what i feel right now or what should I feel right now. Am I happy? Am I Satisfied? Will I accept the change? I do not know. This feeling is more profound when the path you are leading to is not what you chose. But in some way, I realized paths are never chosen by one, one can just built on them. There is always an ending followed by a new beginning leading to a new path.
The cycle of Ending and Beginning is something which is inevitable in life. Its the evolution which helps us grow and learn. Even though its just a theory, evolution is the whole basis which define us. And evolution as defined, the gradual development of something, requires this loop to go till infinity. At some point surely there is an end, nothing is perennial in this world but its how we take it defines the end. End doesn’t come with a definition. One may find end as sad, depressing and as if a huge part of their life is not there now. This happens with people who are attached so deeply to something and like to live in the past memories. Some people on the other extreme find it as a new beginning, a new challenge or a new opportunity to explore themselves and the world around them, leaving the past behind. These people are the one who have only one aim in life, evolution.
However, there is separate set of individuals who feel the ending before looking forward to a new beginning. For these people, the gloom of the denouement is equally important as the jubilation before an inception. These people dwindle in the memories of the past while exploring their future and heading to their final destinations. These people find more happiness and success than the other two extremities as they enjoy and cherish both the past remembrance and future success. They are more balanced as far as emotions are concerned. These are the ones who find peace than the other two not because they stop growing or developing but because they start balancing the cycle of ending and beginning as per their comfort while others find it difficult to attain this state of mind.
Peace is a feeling, an emotion, state of mind and may vary from person to person. Peace is the most difficult state to attain, not because its unachievable but because its hard to find peace without avoiding life. People try to avoid circumstances, situations, endings, new beginning in pursuit of finding peace and fail badly at it. Happiness or sadness does not define peace, it is the accomplishment which follows satisfaction at a particular level. Ending gives one peace of accomplishing or finishing something, if its good the peace is a result of happiness and satisfaction achieved by the same. On the other hand its bad, the peace is a result of finishing a task and progressing towards something new and leaving behind the unsatisfactory feeling. Peace is thus affected by evolution and vice-versa.
Ending and Beginning are part of development and one who runs away from it stops developing. There is a very thin line between the two, but differentiating them is the one which lead us to Evolution, Growth, Satisfaction and Peace.
