Surrender of Frustration
Man is dedicated to the supreme goal. He is proud of every success achieved in life, but also regrets the failure. When, despite perseverance, a person has to face failure, then it is natural for him to feel disgusted with himself.
Man is standing on the cross road of manliness and fate. He considers happiness and success to be the nectar of God, but he is not ready to accept misery and failure as the Gift of God. He is fighting with his fate, but if he becomes a kin of the fate, his fight with the fate can come to an end.
The epilogue of manliness in the achievement of duty is the dawning of fortune.
Man is so much desirous of happiness and facility that every failure/adversity makes his life a hell. The reality of life lies in indifference to bappiness or tension (misery). Becoming unsuccessful in some work is the first defeat, but to invite desire in his heart is the second defeat. The first defeat can be termed as the challenge of fate, but the second defeat is indicative of lack of intellectual vision and awareness of life.
A person does go on thinking this or that round the clock. Thinking, be it wanted or unwanted, makes one host it. Thinking towards philosophy of life becomes fertile when failures jerk-up the strings of the cardiac instrument itself.
Failure is the mother of dynamic thinking. Revolution in life takes place in the moments of extreme pain. When a person feels helpless, shelter-less and base-less all around, at that time even a little sensibility can prove to be a buoy to the drowning. To the
