Progressive thinking & footwear

I've often felt that progressive thinking and footwears are synonymous. 

Many people leave their progressive thinking outside and go inside, just like leaving their shoes outside when entering their own house.


But when they go to any other place, the shoes will still be on their foot. Which means, progressive thinking will also get 'activated' !

Some people wear their footwears even if it is written, 'footwears to be kept outside'.


They just don't care the concern, put it still on and walk in. Meanwhile, they seldom does the same thing at their own place. 
Though we don't see any boards mentioning the progressive thinking to be kept outside, it's just the same how it works. 

Just think about it ; both are the things used only if they think it is necessary and are kept aside if not. 

Just like sandals, progressive thinking are of different types and different sizes. The one which a person likes may not be the cup of tea for another.


The one which suits a person may not suit the other. It's the same in the case of progressiveness. Totally individual & personal.

Just as old shoes get damaged and worn out and hence changing to new shoes is essential, so is changing thoughts with time. If you insist on using that shoe even if it is broken or worn, it will do more harm than good. It might take some time for the feet to adjust to new shoes. And it's the same in the case of progressiveness.


It might disturb you like shoe bites. Otherwise, if you only use the old model, you will not be able to wear the more comfortable shoes. This is equivalent to holding on to the mindset that needs to be changed. Just like avoiding certain shoes when they cause allergies or something else, they should be avoided if the thought only causes you obstacles. 

Now if you think it's better to not wear shoes, or not to have a progressive mindset, then so be it. 

But opposing progressive thinking is like pretending not to see the threat to the feet when shoes are not worn. It can be a threat to our rise and growth !


Wishing you all to have a good day.

Thanking you :)

When attachment hurts

The hardest part of attachment isn’t always losing someone - it’s watching them drift away because of life. Not because they’ve stopped caring, not because they’ve changed as a person, but because circumstances stepped in. Distance, busy days, different paths. Suddenly, the friend who once felt like your everyday comfort now feels like a guest in your life. And it hurts in ways words can’t carry. The calls grow fewer, the replies slower, the laughter shorter. You tell yourself, 'they still care… it’s just life'. But your heart aches anyway, because attachment makes you sensitive. Every small change feels like a loud silence. Yet, even through the ache, you can’t deny how beautiful it is when such friendships first arrive in your life. The ones you never expected - born out of a random moment, a casual conversation, or sheer coincidence - end up carving the deepest spaces in your heart. These friends make the world feel lighter, like you’ve been handed a quiet gift you didn’t ev...

But still..

It is hard, but still… we go on. It is heavy, but still… we carry it. It is uncertain, but still… we hope. It is painful, but still… we love again. Because somehow, deep down, we know - life doesn’t stop for the storms. And maybe that’s what makes it beautiful. It’s not always easy to wake up and try again when everything inside you wants to give up. But you still do - quietly, stubbornly, beautifully. You may not even realize it, but that’s courage. Not the loud, movie kind; the soft, everyday kind that says, "I’ll face today anyway.” It is confusing - when people you cared for drift away, when plans fall apart, when dreams take longer than they should. But still… you find small reasons to smile; a good song, a sunset, a message from someone who remembers. That’s life’s way of saying, “Keep going, you’re not done yet.” It is tiring to be the strong one all the time. To be the listener, the comforter, the one who understands while silently needing to be understood. But still… you ...

The absurdity of suffering

Bad times don't just "feel bad". They feel like suffocation. Like something heavy pressing on your chest that no one else can see. I don't try to make suffering prettier than it is. Pain is real, and when you're in it, advice feels hollow. And yet, something strange happens with time. Some of the deepest insights I've seen in people's lives didn't come wrapped in joy and clarity. They came from heartbreak, from disappointments, from nights that felt endless. There's something absurd about how much we learn from suffering, how pain becomes a kind of teacher no one asked for, but everyone meets eventually. The existential lens does not sugarcoat things. Life has no built-in meaning. We suffer, often without reason, and sometimes we break. But within that absurdity lies freedom; we get to choose how we respond. The suffering may not be meaningful in itself, but what we do with it can be. That's where the human spirit becomes something fierce and b...
