Another chapter

Throughout your life you get so many appreciations and so many comments. Some appreciations and some criticisms…. But do you ever expect you to be called a maniac???
Perhaps that is something you would never expect anyone to call you—that too if they call you a love maniac. Somehow I realize things happen when they are never expected. You never know what others think about you. You cannot realize what can bet the implications and neither you can assume, what perceptions people have regarding you….but hope makes you optimistic.
You are referred as a maniac—a complete love maniac who lingers from one destination to another. I wonder is this what I am searching for. Am I not satisfied with what I have? I don’t know…...and neither do I try to justify myself.
Life goes on with newer chapters added to it. But whatever anyone may refer to…. I know what makes me survive, I know what makes me live and what I realize.
I wonder who is not a maniac. Is the one who has not yet been loved is maniac or is the person who is loved by everyone is a maniac, or someone who is the victim of illusion every time can be called a maniac? I fail to know the truth or solve the riddle.
Let me clarify—you don’t need many reasons to live. You may not necessarily decline all love you get just because you fear people might misjudge you, but one thing for sure self-realization can make you live. Whatever way people may address you or whatever be the reason of your lingering, you know what you are. Your knowledge about you and your inner wisdom will make you strong and help you find a reason to live.
It does not matter what people think about you. What matters you is that you should always have a reason in doing whatever you do. When you stop finding meaning in the activities you do, that is the moment you become a maniac. It is not how many chapters are added to your life will make you to reach a level of self-realization, instead every reason and meaning that you find in the relationships will make you live a life.
How does it matter whether someone calls you a maniac or not? You are sure to find something beyond that in every new page that is added to your life.

The other is always the mirror of yourself. You only see yourself reflected in the other person. And we have got so many things to learn from everyone around us. We need to accept all the positive aspects of the other person in all our relationships to make ourselves better. I personally don't consider a person to be a maniac who keeps on lingering from one destination to another. But I think it is a great value in that person because that person understands himself or herself or is on the verge of understanding. He knows what he needs and accordingly is taking the right step. Self-realization is a process, an unending process.
