Are You Sad and Depressed?
Do You Waste Your Whole Day Scrolling Social Media and Playing Video Games?
The truth is that you’re escaping from reality.
But you can’t escape forever. It catches up to you, eventually.
When you try to sleep at night, you feel a hollowness in your heart. The guilt of wasting a day eats you up.
Only if you follow your “dharma,” you will not be sad and depressed.
“But Joydeep, what is dharma?”
According to ancient Indian scriptures like the Mahabharata, the word “dharma” means duties, rights, law, virtues, and responsibilities.
If you are one with your nature and do what you need to do, all your miseries will go away.
Poof!
If you’re a student, listen to your teacher and study.
An engineer? Do your work with your utmost ability.
A son or a daughter? Respect your parents and have filial piety towards them.
Perform your responsibilities and duties. Every day.
Because the more you delay, the more responsibilities pile up. Like a child avoiding his homework.
Some people spend their whole lives escaping. But with guilt in their hearts and without a spark in their eyes.
Now, it’s up to you.
Duties or escapism — what do you choose?
Thank you,
Joydeep Biswas
