Everything in this world is
connected. We would have heard this statement and related concepts like
‘butterfly theory’. All such theories say that every single event and every
single thing in this world is connected and are related.
“Vasudaiva
Kutumbakam” means that the Earth is all one family. Have you ever thought about
our connection to some unknown people or events? Of course, in today’s world,
we are all connected through internet. But imagine how exciting it is to know
that whatever we do will also affect somewhere someone in this world.
Edison
wouldn’t have known that his experiments inside the lab would change the future
of this entire Earth. We recognized his invention and hence read his story on
how he invented the electricity. This is a realized event. But imagine we may
not know the reasons for the events we experience in our lives. Even simple
acts are related to someone unknown in our lives. For example, we eat food
which is grown by some farmer somewhere and we use things which involve labor
work of some unknown person. We work in our offices for some client and through
that you indirectly serve an unknown customer on time. So nothing goes in vain
and every small act of us is justified in one or the other form in this world.
Every single
event might have its effect on another event either directly or indirectly.
Every phase of our life, every event in it has a reason. We realize the happy
moments in the form of success but sometimes may not understand the reasons for
bad ones. We may not understand the reason behind it right now or sometimes
never. But still, everything happens for a reason. Trying to understand the
reasons will only increase the anxiety.
Just hold faith in this universal chain of
events and embrace every minute, event and phase of life responsibly. Because in
the end, all the dots will be connected to form a meaningful picture :).
