We must not assume when there is no dispute, legal or otherwise, that things have been fair.

Many times those who have been dealt an unfair deal are decent/generous/good so as not to dispute. Those involved know exactly, its the onlookers and others who should not make assumptions.. 

My family pays big time for my life choices

I must have been 12-13 after having gone through some really traumatic period in my life, and at the same time, reading and listening to some great inspiring stuff, making an inventory of my circumstances, mind, and limited abilities sat one evening at the Wellington Bazar bridge and made some life choices. My Jeevan Lakshya was going to be the very simple 'be a good human being', Only success possible without an ego (self-conceit/ self-importance) was to be attempted and while I did think of detachment, it was in the realm of only not being too attached to material wealth.

Having passed through life comfortably sticking to my goals, realize rather dolorously, that my not having a killer instinct or an audacious goal has one rather unintended consequence. I have not been able to provide neither creature comforts nor social recognition or anything valuable from my side to the immediate family. They succeed extremely well, in spite of me and best of all, continue to love me unconditionally and immensely, leaving me filled with joy, guilt, deficient and lots of love.

Physical space, a feeling of security, the minimum symbols, greater opportunities, lesser tension, and the list goes on of what I might have been able to contribute if only my choices were different.

Life lesson: Life goals must consider your loved ones and their needs! Obvious to most, but there are always a few flickering tube lights

A flame burns brightest just before it goes out!

A flame burns brightest just before it goes out. 

And, you have more time my friend to burn brighter than ever before. Listen, get up, get out and shine brightly before you go out.

You've had your childhood,

You've had your youthful adventures

You've had a career, successful or not

You've had a family and maybe some love

A flame burns brightest just before it goes out. 

And, you have more time my friend to burn brighter than ever before. Listen, get up, get out and shine brightly before you go out.

You've had your fill,

You've been there and done that,

You've had your share of ups and downs

You've had a good ride, roller coaster or simply steady

A flame burns brightest just before it goes out. 

And, you have more time my friend to burn brighter than ever before. Listen, get up, get out and shine brightly before you go out.

You've still got to leave a mark,

You've still got to provide a moral compass and more to the brood,

You've still got to paint, dance, play or travel, something's you've put off for decades 

You've still got to learn so many things 

You've still got to sizzle and dazzle like never before and you can because you have nothing to lose except the god sent opportunity of time

Burn brightest before you get to the departure lounge, live for yourself, and, be a role model of burning bright till the very end.
