Tension,Hypertension and solution....Rabi asked me to write a paragraph on this long back...Could not do justice in time..Trying after his reminder..Thank you Rabi,to push me ahead...
Laziness..may be ,may be preoccupation with multitude of task..May be health issues keep preventing me to write regularly...But will keep trying and more so when friends like Rabi are there to encourage..Here goes my thoughts for the day on the topic..
As doctors very commonly we hear the term from the patients.".Madam/Sir..what to say ?Lot of tension at home/work/life "- and we find lots and lots of Indians having plethora of life style disorders may be in form of Diabetes,Hypertension,Cardiac problems,Obesity .. so on and so forth..and not to mention every time we (patients and the public in general including medical fraternity) blame it on the factors seemingly not on our control ! A point to ponder ! Is it really so ? Yes,there is a slight truth in this no doubt,but not complete truth.For every problem the factors responsible can be divided broadly into iatrogenic and natural.Some factors responsible for any disease could be genetic,congenital or for a section of people even some environmental,social,personal issues out of their control. But to a large extent lot of our misery is due to our immaturity,false sense,false ambition,unnecessary irrestible attitude of comparing with others and the indomitable desire to achieve a so called status,fat pay checqe,a big car,a villa and be famous in the social circle by hook or crook and really really sadly not knowing where one is heading ! Sad but true! Whenever man forgets to look inside,derive peace and pleasure from within he is bound to race in the wrong track..where no one has trully achieved anything ever ..
Does it really matter what job you do to earn your bread as long as you do it honestly and put your hard labor to it ? To me washing my dishes to cleaning my car to take care of the garden patch,teaching my child, treating a patient to performing a complicated surgery or teaching my students in everyday life skills to delivering lecture bring the same amount of joy as each one needs equal dedication and honesty to give me satisfaction..The so called fame people run after,the money they stash in dead lockers and the property they acquire by selling their integrity at the least and do what not...just to get a false sense of pride is bound to bring tension and nothing else..the by product obviously has to come through the mortal body in terms of hypertension ,so on and so forth..If the human race can take care of the changeables and do his bit to see a better world I think the world will be a much healthier place to live in and we the human race will leave some examples for the generations to come to imbibe and follow.If we follow only the eternal values and not carried away with the false pride ring around us the nature will surely take care of our genetic constitution and the natural causes..Let's travel inward and talk to our souls often to differentiate between right and wrong path and leave behind all tension,hypertension and have eternal peace.There is no treasure like peace of mind...
Rabi,this blog is dedicated to you for your everlasting en-devour to serve the mankind !
