Life is like a slate. God gives this slate to every person, to write his own story. During the early stages, parents help him write. They teach him the grammar, the usage, the way of writing. When he goes to school, the others influence his writing. When he is capable of thinking and analyzing, he begins writing in his own style.
On this slate called life, we write many things. When we are not satisfied with something that we have written, we wipe it off. But are we able to wipe it out completely? The past lurks from behind, when we try writing something new. There is a shadow, which affects the present. We can either write something new, a new beginning in life, satisfactorily, when slate is very clear, when there is nothing seen of the past writing, or, we can re-write the past again, better this time, because we have learnt from the mistakes made. The choice is ours. Need not to blame God for that. Sometimes, the past leaves such a strong imprint on the slate. No matter how much we try to wipe it, the imprint lasts, marring the slate, making it difficult for any future writing. Even if we try to write on it, what we would have written will be unclear and confusing, a blend of the past, present and future. It is up to us to decide what we want from life, how we want to shape it, how we want it to grow. With a clear mind we can achieve what we want to. Treating life like a slate, we can wipe out unpleasant memories. Write good things and make good memories. When we are old, we can walk down this memory lane that we've made in this God given slate called Life and share a smile!
