And this comes from my recent share of acclimatization... The word "acclimatize" always intrigues me as it is used generally for the test animals (and at times, life treats us as one)... It grows us in the units of "experience", but funny thing is that no matter how much you grow, acclimatization is something that you have to do all over again each time, no exceptions...
And it seems, "getting settled" might be a real thing on some other stationary planet, but technically it is a myth at least on the Earth rotating on its own axis... Change seems to be the only stationary truth here... It feels horrible to get moving, to be "on the other side", and to leave all what the heart is attached to profoundly...
And once you do that, then you become a student of life all over again... In literal terms also, the transition of becoming a "trainee" from a "trainer" is funny. Funny because even though most of us claim to and are ready to learn always, most of the times when one gets at a certain level/amount of knowledge/experience, the task of getting trained seems to be not so motivating...
I have seen very few experienced people taking the trainings as seriously as an average fresher... So does happen to me... Deep inside, there is an ego-driven feeling of being belittled while taking up a "trainee" role instead of a "trainer" role... And it is until I realize that being a student only makes me a more knowledgeable teacher for the next time I switch the role... The moment I get too comfortable in the "teacher" role, I don't realize but I start turning into a "preacher", and it should set an alarm to be a student again... I stop existing as a "teacher" until I start existing as a "student"...
And so it has to be... Life takes you to a new horizon every time, from where you could see a sunrise which might seem to be (either more or) less scenic than what you have experienced in the past... And even if so, you can only accept the change by looking it as a "different sunrise" rather than looking it as a "not so beautiful sunrise"... It seems to be the only way to accept the student and give a break to the preacher inside us... What say?
