Demanding

If one is restless from the birth, it is possible that restlessness grows with the age without a doubt. Isn’t it? The child learns to speak & walk, the child begins to recognize worldly pleasures step by step. So how it is possible for a child to find peace in this process?

Let's find out!  The growing restlessness & stress of a child visible to the others as various behaviors. Let's see what they are!

The new born, entertain his tongue with the taste of mother's milk… that’s the first taste for his tongue which the child find entertaining & beneficial to him / her. Then the child seek for it. (Well there are some kids who refuse them too, but with another solution of course). Then child growing with experiencing variety of tastes.

As a beginning let's say the child experience the taste of cow milk for the first time… If the child feels that it tastier than the mother's milk, from that moment onward the child refuse to drink mother's milk.  This can be vice versa too…

Likewise with the age, a child experiences many forms, sounds, tastes, fragrances, contacts for his / her eyes, ears, nose, tongue & body.

Another example; A child needs to have the pleasure of piece of chocolate. So he / she demand it. The parents refuse to give that pleasure to the kid. And the kid begins to be restless and angry & he / she suffer from mind.

The stress of mind comes out as the physical actions like screaming, crying, anger and they simply start their very own personal war.  But if still the parents refuse to full fill kid’s demand, the kid won't give up…

Then most of the parents get annoying and say "Ok! Will give you chocolate but you have to do this & that" parents also demanding. Sometimes they promise to give them in future, "will give you some chocolate tomorrow"…  Then also the kid surrenders… because the kid has a hope for the pleasure which is going to have in future.

So with that hope the kid giving himself / herself a temporary solution to avoid the restlessness he / she has on that moment… but still the kid suffer from the restlessness till he gets the taste as the way he / she desired.

If the kid is not forget the promise, he / she begins the same war again… if he / she distracted through another entertainment process they will not demand it again until he / she remembers it again.

This is how demanding & suffering connecting and flowing through in our lives.  

How the law of impermanence related to this emotion?

In simple words we won’t or couldn’t demand anything if the law of impermanency is not there.  We won’t or couldn’t satisfy when the demand is fulfilled if the law of impermanency is not there…

So as you see the law of impermanence doesn’t bring only suffering or pain it also cause to bring happiness and joy to the mind too…

So where we got wrong?  What we are missing?

Be wise… think wise… let’s continue with the wisdom!
