Why Am I Still Not at Peace at 45? – A Life Lesson Through Thirukkural

𝗚𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗯𝗲𝗮𝘂𝘁𝘆𝗳𝘂𝗶 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲 

🙇 A Man at 45 — Looking Back

He’s 45. Married. With children.

He’s worked hard all his life. He saved, sacrificed, and gave everything to his family and relatives.

But today, sitting alone, he asks himself:

“Why am I still not at peace?”

 quiet inner voice answers:

“Did you truly do it for them… or just around them?”

🔍 What Was Missing?

He never truly welcomed his relatives — just pretended to.

He used friendships for personal gain, never stood by them in return.

Spent money emotionally when he had it, regretted when it was gone.

Even to his wife and children, his love became mechanical. His care turned to criticism.

Finally, his own family stopped cooperating with him.

He became emotionally isolated, misunderstood — and deeply restless.

📚 Thirukkural – Timeless Truth

"Even by mistake, never plot harm against others.

For even planned harm will only return to destroy you."

– Thirukkural 204

The meaning?

Do not think bad for others — even in silence.

Because that negativity will one day bounce back to your own home.

Also echoed in:

"Good and evil do not come from others — they come from ourselves."

Real Change Starts Inside

✅ Welcome others truly — from your heart.

✅ Be the friend you'd want others to be.

✅ Serve your family with genuine affection, not routine.

✅ Spend with wisdom, save with clarity.

✅ Think well, speak well, live well.

Only then will peace blossom — not from money, but from meaningful relationships.
