Vicious Virtuous Cycle

It started with the bad news of JS having a bypass heart operation. Slowly and steadily, all aspects of my life, professional, personal, national (read as economics (growth rate & inflation rate), nuclear deal, etc.), international (read as cyclone in Myanmar, Earthquake in China, disgracing the turban of a Sikh in the US etc.) have taken a negative turn. Everything seems to be so irritating, sorrowful and in some cases making me furious. I can do nothing, except as it is said "go through the motions". It is this time, I am most difficult to put up with, as a social and a personal human being. I know this will be temporary. Sometime later, everything would start to look good, joyful and enjoyable. And then again...

This vicious-virtuous cycle is probably what our ancient monks and philosophers call "life" or rather the "sufferings of life", because of the manifestation of "Brahma" by "Maya". Well, I understand this, but why am I still not able to break away from this? Strange, having knowledge is not all, understanding to the fullest and implementing it is even more a difficult task. I think, to be able to do this, are what the initial prayers to "Brahma" should be.
