Wrong

"Today is my birthday and I want  it to be special though I am not celebrating with friends or loved ones," announced Janaki.

"Congratulation. But I don't want you to think that everything will go right for you today or any day", said Khrisna who was a psychologist.

"Why not? I have not done anything wrong or hurt anyone. So why should my life not be perfect?" asked Janaki.

"I think the mistake many of us make is to think that "I am on top of the world and I want the world to be the same for you and me", in the words of the song. We are all frail humans and we are bound to make mistakes so no day  is perfect even though special nice things may happen", explained Khrisna, adding, "the secret is to enjoy the nice moments and build memories so that one can tide over the bad periods  which will inevitably come."

"Thank you for warning me. That is true, I have had my bad times and when I look back, there were times in my life when I felt like committing suicide. So many wrong things have happened to me. It is true that I too have done wrong things but my family and friends have hurt me over the years," said Janaki.

"I think that you should stop thinking of the past and dwell on TODAY. Tomorrow is promised to no-one. If you can wake up in the morning and get out of bed without assistance, thank God for a New Day. As for me, the next thing I do is to count my blessings like reasonably good health and eyesight and for enough money to eat and drink two meals for the day. At sunset, I think back and give thanks for helping me through the day," concluder Khrisna.
