Ramya Pens A Thought-Provoking Note About Finding Balance In Life And Living In The Present
It's been ages since Sandalwood star Ramya appeared on the silver screen. The actress decided to step away from the world of cinema following her involvement in politics. And now, in a rare media interaction with the Bangalore Times, the Golden Girl of Kannada Film Industry shared her understanding of life and the best way to enjoy it.
Ramya wrote, “Those of us (me included, obviously) who have intense (read passionate) personalities, tend to get consumed by the world and its trivialities and get so caught up in them that we get exhausted and burn out quickly. This is one extreme. And then there are those of us (me included, again, obviously), who, when exhausted/disillusioned, step back, isolate and reflect. We ask ourselves all the pertinent questions, who am I, why me, what’s my purpose, what’s the meaning in life, etc. We find solace in spirituality. We tend to drift away from the world and drift so far that we become detached, dispassionate, non-enthused about life. Nothing titillates the mind, nothing affects us, we lose interest in life, because we think we’ve 'figured it all out’ and wonder what the point of it all is? It happens. It’s happened to me. This is the other extreme.”
She
went
on
to
add,
“I
am
speaking
from
my
own
experience;
we
need
to
find
balance
between
the
two
extremes.
And
that’s
the
hardest
part,
but
also
the
best
way
to
enjoy
life.
To
know
our
place
in
this
world,
the
maya
of
it
and,
therefore,
ephemeral/fleeting
and
to
still
be
curious
and
interested
in
life;
that’s
the
balance
we
need
to
find.
As
much
as
it
is
important
to
reflect
and
ask
who
we
really
are
and
what
our
purpose
is,
we
also
need
to
be
grateful
for
the
now,
to
live.”

The actress concluded her note with a personal confession and an important message to everyone. “It’s a real struggle. I have hurt my loved ones deeply and pushed them away when they tried to help in finding meaning and balance. I learnt that balance is key, albeit the hard way. It's my journey. And so, to you I say — don’t get caught up in the world and its attachments, don’t go too far away either, stay in the now. Life is a present, live it! Also, note to self,” she said.
