Taking the stroll ahead, as the blogger in me marches
towards few more halts, the next thought is different, interesting, mysterious
yet applicable to each one of us. While this journey of proverbs has been
exciting in every way, exploring their hidden meaning and understanding their
impact in our lives has been truly wonderful. Though these proverbs have been a
part of our life as valuable phrases since childhood, throwing light over them
through the medium of this proverbial park has proved to be interesting,
motivating and inspiring at the same time.
Halt 7: When in Rome, do as the Romans do
While the country
‘Rome’ and its folks ‘Romans’ are just representative terms for the proverb,
idea behind this thought prompts us to blend along with the local ambiance and
experience what it offers. Being one with the feel of a place and adapting to
its existing conditions, surroundings and situations prepare us for the course
ahead. By accepting the local culture of a region, we can invite peace,
satisfaction, friendship and happiness.
Disrespect towards
a native practice or opposition towards its followers give way to
misunderstandings and troubles. While one may not conform to every belief of
the land or agree with every single aspect of a place, blending along with the
atmosphere around opens the path for more progress and development. Interest
towards the local practices, lifestyle, food, culture, beliefs and behavior
offer insights of the place. Paving way for more connections, relations,
bonding and memories, acceptance of local culture certainly plays an important
role. By opening our arms towards the local experience, we invite new variations
into our routine. Accepting the good offerings of a land and combining it with
that of our own enable us to learn, develop, grow and prosper.
A significant factor
that confers its prominent effect is willingness to adapt and adopt. Adapting ourselves
to situation around and adopting their true form is the key to long-lasting
happiness. While we may not completely adhere to the beliefs of the local land,
eagerness to experience and desire to comprehend add fodder to our knowledge base.
As we toil to visualize their routine course and wonder about their usual conduct,
we come closer to the magic of local air. By opening our eyes to the variations
around us, we are able to sow seeds of progress, growth, development and
improvement.
Besides adopting local
culture, the thought prompts us to accept prevailing situations and surrounding
circumstances. Living in the present, while adapting to changing scenario
depicts the power of time. Moving along with passing time and marching ahead
with strength of confidence bring happiness and joy into our lives. Staying firm
over our own conduct without adjusting with the place around contributes to
sadness, sorrow, disappointment and failure.
