I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman,
'Where's the self-help section?'
She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.
Isn’t it true for everything that we do to be happy?
If we do what we do as a habit and it has stopped making us happy long back, isn’t it defeating the purpose?
Isn’t it burning like a candle that seems to glow outwardly,
While shortening the thread within that is being burnt?
What purpose does that little short-lived illumination serve?
Shouldn’t we make most of this 'pause' to re-examine our decisions and lives, by seeking answers to two simple questions –
Is it all worth it and
At the cost of what...?
