The Random Disappointing Thought



My mind is hardly ever at peace! A few minutes back, I was doing certain mundane chores, with random thoughts swarming my mind. Suddenly the streaming came to a halt at an incidence that had happened recently.
A few days back, I was denied, for reasons unknown, an act of philanthropy! I must say, I was highly disappointed, as I had been looking forward to participate in the community service. I tried to inquire the reason from concerned people and pushed as much as I could to be a part of the noble cause.
At this sad note, my memory took me back to another such event. From childhood itself, I was highly inspired by the television commercials(esp. the national TV channel) which promoted donation of body parts/blood. I had promised myself that I would do the same on my 18th birthday. However, I lost the chance. Many years later, I got the opportunity. The point here is: had I gone to the donation camp at that time, I probably would have boasted about the benovelence my entire life; but when I donated my blood many years later, I forgot about it the very next moment.
There is no humility in feeling great about doing something good for others.
Im feeling much more relaxed about the whole thing now.
Conclusion: Everything happens for a reason :)
