whats in an Impression!!!!!!!!

Impressions of foot prints left on the beach side sand ….

Impressions of name stamps left on papers …

Impressions of a die left on a work item ….

Impressions of a great leader left on the audience after an inspirational talk ……..

Impressions of a friend leaving for a far away place ….

Impressions of lost ones (dead n alive...) ….

Impressions some times seem to have very impressive implications.

Good or bad, physical or psychological, very often, we experience impressions left on us or around us everyday.

The magnitude and nature of impressions is the big point of concern when experiencing the implications of impressions.

Some Impressions are good n some are bad.

Some Impressions are light/ superficial and fade away soon.

Some Impressions are heavy/ deep and last forever.

It is the stand of the impressing entity which decides the magnitude and nature of the Impressions.

Let me explain…..

We all should have played in the sands on the beach side at some point of time in our life.

You remember, those impressions of your palm you realize when you press your hand over that wet sand.

Not every time the impression is so clear, so strong, so similar to yours …..

If you have just placed your hand over the sands, then, only a light impression should have formed which is wiped off with the lightest breeze and should have disappeared after some time.

If you have pressed your hands over the sands with thrust, then, a strong impression should have formed, which stands even to the moderate breezes. You should have refined the edges of your impression and made it a good sculpture over the sands and returned home when it turned to be dark out side.

See, that impression which had been wiped off in no time; we had lots n lots of occasions in our life where we had wiped off impressions of past incidents and people in no time after those incidents have occurred or we have passed off those people. Those incidents and people should have left over the lightest impressions over us, which have been wiped off in no time.

See, that impression which had stood even to the moderate breezes and you left over when it was dark. The next day when you walked down the beach you see that impression still standing over there. You stop there, feel happy that its still there, just check if the sculpture is not disturbed, reset those edges, and remove that extra sand accumulated by the breezes last night. You see that it is set as you wanted it to be.

And then just walk down after a while.

We definitely should have had at least a few occasions in our life, when we had recollected the impressions which were left over us long back. When we pass across those impressions as we did the next morning on the beach side we remember the past, feel happy when we realize the significance of that impression in our life, try to experience the same, if possible, which is now an impression.

Most of the everlasting Impressions and those which our mind and soul frequents are of that psychological kind.

If you hear the whistles of trains and just become nostalgic ‘bout your childhood play ground near the railway tracks.

If you see a person dressed in a safari suit and just remembers your Dad who passed away long back.

If you…….. You are experiencing the implications of psychological impressions.

Imagine what happens, if you are uncomfortable\ abnormal about experiencing the implications of Impressions when you have to walk across those strong impressions frequently; you either want to avoid going across those impressions or wipe off those impressions permanently so that they are never seen again and remind the past which makes you uncomfortable. But, what if those Impressions are of psychological kind which you cannot wipe off permanently as you can do with that sand sculpture which you visited next day and want it no more a lasting impression.

As I said initially “It is the stand of the impressing entity which decides the magnitude and nature of the Impressions.”

The “impressing” entity/ person leave impressions over the “impressed” entity/ person. It is the nature of the impressions left over by the impressing entity/ person which makes the experience of implications of Impressions memorable, enjoyable, worth savoring, uncomfortable, confusing, disturbing….

As can be understood, not all impressions make the impressed entity/ person happier and comfortable while experiencing the implications of Impressions when the “impressed” had to walk across those Impressions. These psychological impressions which can’t be wiped off permanently and make the “impressed” uncomfortable or disturbing together with its magnitude decide on what is on stand for the “impressed” in his life. If the “impressed” can stand those impressions with self awareness, every time he had to walk across those impressions then he can make his life a beautiful one. But rarely will it happen that filling oneself with an awareness which can dominate those undying impressions which frequents to a level where the thought of one impression is still live with lots of questions and the next impression has already come on ones way with a gamut of unanswered questions and the next is just ahead on his way looking blurred at a distance and posing more blurred questions and ………….

Here to share a thought. Hope you will take it.

So, let’s leave a strong impression on people around us, which would make them savor every impression we left over, with happiness and make them come by those impressions frequently to make themselves cheerful with joy even very long after we left them….

At least let’s not leave disturbing/ bad impressions on people around us. Its quiet natural to have few disturbances with people around us in the daily life, but it makes us more beautiful persons at heart if we can clear them and make good ones before we have to pass away (may be just from their lives or permanently leaving this world ) leaving an impression on them. Its definitely uncertain to say when one would pass away, so lets all leave good impressions on the people around us and make the implications of Impressions we left, more memorable for the “impressed”.

When an Impression is faked it’s even lighter than those impressions which fade away for the lightest breezes and can never be lasting impressions….
