NECESSITY&READINESS continued

IF and only if somehow at some point we realize or get feel a glimpse of " life has to have much more than this" , "there must be more to it than meets the eyes", "i am living a life of borrowed dreams", "there must be something much bigger much better to pursue and live for some higher purpose some better aim" we may feel the need for that something called INTEGRITY.

THIS glimpse of looking out for personal satisfaction along with social accomplishment (or just a deep urge for personal satisfaction) can occur to us in two ways.
  1. intelligence
  2. suffering
INTELLIGENCE
THIS happens when we look around us with open eyes we look into the lives of people around us.people who are constantly telling us what to do and what not to we look into their lives keenly ,closely and at length(not just superficially, hastily&at just a moment or two ) and try to find out "is this person happy?" , "is he contented ?", "is he joyful and at ease with himself?", if not why then should i follow him .His ideology his belief could not give him any joy , any fulfillment what good it would be to me then?
we closely,keenly and at length (with both rewind and fast forward ) analyse the lives of people we idolize and question "no doubt he/she has achieved (socially) all that i wish to in future but how has his / her life been all this while during this journey?" , "what kind of life he lived to get to this point?" and "what kind of life is he living now?","am i willing to follow the similar path?" and most importantly "is it all worth all this?".
These questions lead us deeper and deeper within our own selves and bring us face to face with US the real ME NOT the borrowed ME. and it is then that the necessity for INTEGRITY arises.
