MY - the word often used.

This is probably going to be the shortest piece I have written. As the title suggests, the word MY is being used often. I have a live example and it also was the inspiration to make me write this. If you decide to notice closely all my posts' titles are starting with 'MY'. Why? Is it all mine? If I am true to myself, it's not.

There are these beautiful lines in the newspaper today(The Times of India) which caught my attention. His Holiness Dalai Lama says, "Consider the following. We humans are social beings. We come into the world as the result of others' actions. We survive here in dependence on others. Whether we like it or not, there is hardly a moment of our lives when we do not benefit from others' activities. For this reason it is hardly surprising that most of our happiness arises in the context of our relationship with others."

The word 'My' rarely does exist. Most of our actions are in accordance with the people around us. A family survives because they live for each other. Nature calls for animals to hunt other animals or even for that matter man to hunt these animals. We eat everyday because there are farmers growing crops for us. Everything in this world was not made for us. It's the very greed that makes us no less than animals. Nothing belongs to us because once we die, we dont die with what we call "mine" except the name, which also if you think logically, is not entirely ours. Because if not one, there are atleast two people in the world with the same name.

Innocuous statements....maybe just an incentive for people to think including me MYself. And different perspectives are always welcome.
All the best.
