HuskyNarayan,
If we need to be grateful, it is towards our ancestors. They sure did what they had to do, and lived as was needed. And did it best under their powers in their times. Let us take inspiration from them and cheer ourselves to march to the ideals set forth for us.
But many times I sink in the darkness of disappointment too. Things just look upside down. What is Dharma seems confusing, and Adharma all around including in the own Chitta. Days look nights and nights look mahashivaratris. Bars are high. Living upto them not easy at all, sometimes hardly possible. Path shown by ancestors seems all covered up under thick fog of ignorance that prevails. Even what the goal is, seems all mixed up. Where to look for the direction? But as Bhagwan Gautama Buddha has said - App Deepo Bhava - become your own lamp. Seems no other way too.
