The hidden virtue of closed doors

In our information-saturated world, the urge to know everything can sometimes do more harm than good. There are moments when knowing less can actually protect our peace of mind and emotional well-being.

Information can empower, but it can also overwhelm. Diving deep into every detail of life's complexities can uncover truths that are hard to handle, leaving us feeling sad and helpless.

Simple examples in life- Consider finding out that your favourite food, which brings you joy and comfort is actually harmful.

Imagine delving into a close friend's deepest secrets, only to find out they have been hiding a painful past or a significant betrayal. This knowledge could irreparably damage your relationship and cause emotional complexities.

Picture a beautiful mountain range you love to visit. Discovering that the opposite side is barren.

"Some doors should be kept closed to avoid getting hurt."

There is wisdom in practicing selective ignorance. This doesn't mean shutting ourselves off from the world or avoiding necessary information. Instead, it involves being mindful of the types of information we seek out and consume. In essence, not knowing everything isn't a weakness; it's a strategy for maintaining a balanced, positive life.

Finding Myself in the Heart of Himachal

There’s something about the slow mornings in the mountains that forces you to pause, breathe, and listen—to yourself, to nature, and to the silence in between. Waking up to the golden sun rays filtering through the wooden window of my homestay, I felt warmth against my skin, yet a deep cold within. The crisp mountain air carried with it the scent of pine and damp earth, wrapping around me like an old, familiar embrace. I stared outside, where clouds collapsed gently into the snow-capped peaks, blending white into green, as if nature itself was undecided yet at peace with it. For the first time in a long while, I wasn’t rushing. There was no urgency, no notifications demanding my attention, no expectations pulling me in different directions. Just me and the view—a breathtaking panorama of life untouched by chaos. I sipped on my warm tea, my fingers barely holding onto its heat, and for a brief moment, I wished my heart could be the same—numb, untouched by emotions that no longer served ...

Stop Holding the Rope

Sometimes, a time comes when you need to reassess your life decisions. One of the hardest truths to accept is realizing that you might be the only one fighting to keep a relationship alive. But the reality is a relationship is meant to be two-sided. It’s a partnership, not a solo journey. If you find yourself constantly making sacrifices, putting in effort, and waiting for things to change while the other person remains distant or indifferent, it’s time to pause and reflect. Ask yourself: Is this relationship giving me mental peace? Do I feel secure, valued, and loved? Or am I just holding on to the idea of what it could be? Think of it like a tug of war. The more you pull, the more tension and pain you feel. But the moment you let go, the rope drops, and the pressure releases. That relief - that’s what letting go can feel like. It’s not about giving up; it’s about ending the struggle that’s hurting you. It’s important to remember that love shouldn’t feel like a battle you fight alone....
