Movie - Seven Years in Tibet
I have been watching a lot of movies lately. Movies have started to have an effect on me, like never before. Though, these effects are short lived and don't last, which is why I thought I'll write my thoughts and takeaways to the world. This may make it more tangible. Today, I watched the movie 'Seven Years in Tibet' and I was very moved by it.
It made me reflect on how difficult it is to live a life without ego and what it means to me. I'm totally unaware of what my ego means to me, what defines it, and why does it get hurt so easily. Why is my pride based on my ego and why does my whole life revolve around creating an image and struggling to maintain that image? Why is it so hard to shatter in, not in other's view, but in my own.
Growth would happen only when one is in total acceptance of self. Good or bad, they don't scare away in expressing what they believe in or they don't. People like such people.
Where are my questions? What am I seeking? Where do I wish to go? Where am I going?
