Planning or Scheming ?


It is said that, “If you Fail to Plan, you plan to Fail". We are always planning, intentionally or unintentionally we have the tendency to plan. But where does the thin border line between planning and scheming starts? Where we are not supposed to be planning?

Planning too much spoils the naturalness and the essence of happiness. The true feeling of fun when we plan to celebrate our happiness in future, when we are free enough or comfortable enough to celebrate. 

This is like insurance scheme or policy. I never agreed with the idea all my life. You can’t plan a future that you don't know about. The future, that is never in your hand. What if your wife or children die before you die? What is the use of that huge plan and a big amount of insurance policy? It’s like trying to interfere with divine intentions. It’s trying to be there when for them even after death. 

Sounds really touchy and romantic but we are just human beings. It is just like we are part of a huge play, or film, playing our parts as someone's son, daughter  father, mother husband, brother  sister a friend or even a lover in that movie. But when the shooting ends, no one leaves an insurance policy for his relations in those movies. It is stupid.

All I mean to say here is that play your part according to the requirement, don't over indulge, don't let your emotions your feelings overwhelm you and make you cross the line between a human and God. Leave God's things to God.

I love spontaneity naturalness and I prefer that on stupid plans. We can only plan where we are sure. When we have enough knowledge and understanding that allows us to adjust our goals and re adjust and we are not interfering with divine intentions.

Every plan has its humanly limitations. Like when we talk about savings, we need to save only what is more than our needs and the needs of those who are unable to live by themselves, the poor. We are allowed to save yes, but with some rules and regulations, necessary to follow for the real good of mankind. We can’t keep on saving, cutting our present needs and waiting for retirement to spend those savings when we can’t even enjoy them fully with that age, if we are still living by that time.
