This is what life is all about
Yesterday in the morning when I turned on the TV at ten past six to view Bharadaththil dharmam, பாரதத்தில் தர்மம், the TV opened with the Star Movie channel.
A man was sitting comfortably in a speeding motorboat in the middle of the sea. Nobody else was with him. There was nothing else in sight, just the vast expanse of the sea, with its rolling waves. There wasn't any clue as to what time of the day it could be, but the clear blue sky indicated a sunny day. The man was very relaxed. The movie ended with that scene. I don't know what movie it was, or anything about the movie. The scene looked so good; it got etched in my mind.
I felt what a satisfying experience it must be and how lucky he is to be able to do that.
It also made me think.
For the man to feel that relaxed in a tiny motor boat, in the middle of the sea, how much preparation must have gone into it, what all the competencies he must have developed to get that self-confident, how comfortable he should be with himself to be on his own, how much trust he must have in himself and in a higher power to be able to face any adversary.
Whatever we do, this is what life is all about.
But peace also has its price. He must have learnt swimming well, he must have learnt to motor a boat, he must have worked hard to earn that kind of money, etc. But the real enjoyment is for persons who see him at little cost and open mind.
