Did the title make you pause and do a double take? Surely, you thought it seemed very selfish—all this focus on the ‘me’? But the deeper we go within, the more we realise that Life is a big paradox. Life is all about me, and yet it is not! When we focus our attention on the ‘other,’ what the other person is doing or being, we are walking down the path of bondage.
Right from the time we were old enough to think, we have always been told to think about the ‘other person.’ Well, has the world improved all these years because we have followed this advice? Not really. In fact, the reverse is true. The more we have focussed on the other, the more judgemental, discontent, and disturbed we have become.
Take for example all the interest that has been generated in the media because of the recent drug exposé triggered by the death of a young promising star. With COVID-19 in full swing, we are homebound for the most part, and a live soap opera that is unfolding in the media has us all glued to our TV sets. Drugs, lies, a mysterious death, investigations— which movie can be more engrossing? We happily allow ourselves to be sidetracked from managing our own affairs rightly during these challenging COVID times and have immersed ourselves in the affairs of people we have never even met!
