Became and Becoming

The two words caught my attention as I was lecturing the students on the theme, ‘GOD’. According to me, they are the two powerful words that can build or dismantle life, construct or destroy life through situations.

Became:  Became symbolizes the end of journey that is it does not show anything beyond the horizon. For example, many a time I heard people affirming themselves as, ‘I became a doctor, an engineer or a lawyer.’ These sentences as simple as they are, signify that people are not interested in acquiring more and more. They are happy with what they are and what they have. In other words, they consider themselves as finished products without waiting for the FUTURE IN HOPE.

Becoming:  Becoming signifies that life is a continuous process of learning, realizing and becoming more and more. The person who is becoming desires that there is more to life. In other words, there is no full-stop but only commas to pause and play the game of life. They are happy with themselves but they believe to go higher and higher in life. They see beyond the horizon. They trust themselves and go AHEAD IN LIFE.
