Who knows the ‘Rules or Reality'? Religious Books? Rational and logical thinkers? Law of the land? Social and cultural beliefs? Many times in real life situations, none of these laws or rules or ideologies are able to present the truth, the right perspective or offer a solution; which makes people self destructive! People express their unhappiness in many self destructive ways - Smoking, Alcohol, even hurting themselves, shortening their life spans by bad food choices. Is all this not an attempt to break off the chain around the neck in desire to truly begin living? Is this not ‘Desire to live’ fighting with ‘Existence’?

So, is this problem because of lack of laws? or lack of understanding of laws? Or incorrect laws? Or absence of laws? Argument is simple, If I'm the only one who's going to die, then why shouldn't I live my life the way I want to. Why should society keep on reciting things that do not work? Why should I not be allowed to make my own rules? Spiritualism teaches connectedness of the universe. Physicists call interconnectedness of universe as “Quantum Entanglement.” Are these social, man-made laws serving any higher purpose? Or are they only in self interest of a particular class/group?

Rules of society and country become invalid the moment one changes the job and moves to another country or a distant city. Humanity, God, Love, Peace are above all laws and rules.

Life is the greatest gift anyone and everyone is given. Life is about creating yourself and in the process take help from others and also help them becoming their best to lead a more peaceful, love-filled life. Approach of living with dictates of others, is like driving life with intelligent disagreement of various minds. Being your own light means thinking and having an intelligent agreement with God. Ayn Rand said, “Thinking men cannot be ruled, because those who think, those who are creative are always motivated by the desire to achieve, not by the desire to beat others.”

Buddha said, “Be your own light.” Ask yourself - What do you want from life? Where do you want to travel with your family? What future do you want for your kids? What do you wish to see with your family? These are important questions that would drive your life. Dont we want to die peaceful, happy and well-lived? If today was our last day on earth, would we still be busy in small unimportant things? You would agree that in light of his own spirit, each man is alone, because some great walks of life, a man has to take alone!

Only you can set your life free from darkness, pain, sorrow, misery, tears and even laughter. But to reach that truth, we must be our own light! Eleanor Powell said, “What we are is God's gift to us. What we become is our own gift to God."
