Soliloquy

When times change as they 'usually' will
When the road you're trudging seems an uphill
When the 'moods' are low and 'sorrows' high
When you want to smile but have to sigh
Then rest you must, but you mustn't quit.


The epitome of plagiarism. But the message is original (I hope and I don't copyright it). The obvious question with a not so obvious answer arises, "How to rest ?" For all those who endorse sleep, medication, meditation and the other common suggestions by some connoisseur of health, here lies an alternative pill. Soliloquy, for many to whom I sound like a sesquipedalian, it means self talk. The prescription to subliminal conditioning (not to project you as someone abnormal).


You all must have done it some day in your life, although subconsciously. And you know how? Rote learning in our 'Examination System'. (I didn't term it Education system consciously) And it might have saved you from drowning (failing). It can certainly help you sail through life as well. PS: I don't promote rote learning here.
One is always available for introspection (no appointments required I hope). The results are many. It can pacify the disconsolate, the morose and the lugubrious.
Talk your sentiments out, repeat your ambitions aloud and witness the change. After all, actions sometimes do speak better than words.
