Each thing is best, truly, in its
place. This saying of yore carries one of the core messages and the essence of life in a unique way—just as
each and everything, every moment, every being in life is unique. Each one
(thing) is thus the best that could be there, at that moment, at that place.
And it indeed stands to be hailed
as an universal truth; while failing to understand and thus rejecting it,
carries the pathogen of discord, whereby all that is different is deemed as an
act of defiance (a being, being defiant) to all that one stands for—being and
doing. Thus, we create a diseased life—individual, as well as collective; and
societies, teeming with technological advancements are found deficient in the
understanding of the technology that life is, with its own logic. Hence, the
dim situation, reflecting with great intensity the ‘stand’—of one and many and
at times, one too many—which stands on an understanding which requires much
light.
None can replace any one…as all
is…and all are unique.
