Dualities of Life

Joys, sorrows , good and bad, are dualisms present since eternity. We all seek good sans bad, ever thought which is better? Hardships strengthens, shows life truths, ends our sins. ~~~~~ When we think positive, are calm even in miseries, they vanish on their own. Root cause of miseries are our desires. When desireless, our mind is full of bliss. ~~~~~ If we have faith in God and think all that he does is for our good, our sadness ends. If we resolve to be happy at all times nothing can steal inner joy from us ~~~~~ Mind is a blank canvas, we can paint on it as per our wish. If we paint happy thoughts our life becomes exhilarating. Wise men know that they are soul not the flesh. ~~~~~ Equanimous at all times, devoid of all attachments, wise lead a life of bliss. ~~~~~ Date: 11/21/2020

Amen Rama. Congratulations on your second win with this well thought out and executed string of tetractys! I have a little sign on my bathroom counter. It states "Think happy! Be Happy." Couldn't agree with you more. Sending you blessings of joy!

Nice topic, you had said that if you are using one juxtaposition stick to it. I did that. Easy topic. I was able to do it in Tetractys, really enjoyed writing this one in this form. Thanks for the beautiful contest and placement. Take care Rama
