Unstable Mind

When people accuse me Of being a man of unstable mind, I do not get offended— I do not mind! My mind Is constantly Growing, developing, Evolving, changing… Why should I Stand by everything I said yesterday? What I said yesterday Was true of yesterday But, why should it remain The same today? Everything changes with time— Situations change, Knowledge increases, Perceptions get overhauled, The mind gets transformed! Change is an ongoing process of life— It is a Process of evolution! If I do not change, I do not evolve! Should I surrender myself to stagnation Just to hear that I have A stable mind? I was honest yesterday I am honest to myself today— I have not hypothecated my integrity To anyone, or, anything… If my intentions are right… If I have no hidden agenda… If I change my mind To accommodate an evolved thought, What is wrong with that? I am comfortable with myself! I am absolutely at peace with myself! It does not bother me If people think of me As someone With an unstable mind!

I am overwhelmed by your learned comment Milton. You have made my day. The real test of literature is whether readers are able to identify themselves with the writing or not. Thank you so much for this honor. I am indebted to you for each word of your comment.
