Lost


Nobody likes to lose things.  But unfortunately sometimes we lose things that are important to us and not so important.  Loss means carelessness.  I remember a story where a poor girl borrows a necklace from her rich friend and looses it.  She does not know that it is fake jewellery.  Thinking that it was original diamond jewellery she toils all her life to repay only to know it was fake.  It is always better to enjoy what we have than crave for costly things and suffer mentally.

Once I was walking along the bank of a river.  It was a cold day.  I found this lost glove. Looks like a child's glove.   I just thought about a kid losing a glove and suffering due to cold weather.  How did the glove drop off the hand?   Was too loose ( for a malnourished poor kid) or it dropped as the child was playing or fiddling with something. If the child's parents are rich, no problem.  For a poor kid or orphan to buy another may not be easy.  Maybe the glove is too old and dropped away.  Then what happened to the other glove?  Don't know.
  
Our brain is such a thing if it has no work it simply ponders over useless (?) issues and creates unrest.  Just closing the eyes and trying to meditate will definitely brings some calmness to the mind.
