Cessation of activity is a sign of inertia while change is the sign of progress. Inactivity is monotonous and boring. Change guides us on the path of new thinking and new experiences.
Life is progressive, hence change is essential. Progressive people do not fear the change, rather they welcome it. In the cosmos, all the planets are revolving. This keeps them in their orbits. Had they been inactive, they would have got lost in the vast universe. One, who does not move forward, cannot remain stable inertia leads to destruction. Therefore, life has to move forward.
Times change and in this process, moments of hope and despair come and go. Night and day, dream and awakened state, life and death, winter and summer, loss and benefit, union and separation – all these appear to be opposite to each other but ultimately, they are related and give pleasure or pain. It is the combination of positive and negative charges that gives rise to current.
Sufferings make the person strong, alert and brave. The challenges augment enthusiasm and provide the basis for progress. Fulfilment in life requires some such things which can keep the verve for going ahead and bravely accept the challenges.
