Acceptance

How often have we heard the sentence, "you'll get over it", in various phases of our lives, may it be with respect to our family, love, or our situation and our circumstances. But what does one mean when they make that statement? Do they mean that we will finally reach a time and place where the thing we were fretting about or the thing that was disturbing us no longer affects our day to day activities in anyway? I think that it's not true at all. In my perspective, I feel there's never getting over anything, I think we just learn to live with it! I feel there's a huge difference between the two. If I said that I was over something, it would mean that I am not at all affected by it, and that it does not alter or affect my thought formulation and perspective, which I think is never possible. Every single element of life leaves an impact on us, may it be good, bad, or ugly. That people change in various ways as they walk their paths of life is a living proof that it's these elements that have been embodied in them. For instance, suppose a person had have been in love with a person who loved flowers, and over the course of their lives, they fell apart. And suppose the two were now living their separate lives with no involvement of the other in their lives. At this stage, if a third person asked one of them if they liked flowers and their immediate response was 'NO!', what changed? Is it them having moved on or is it them just embracing and accepting the situations and living with it?
So I say just this - never try to get over anything. Absorb it all in. The good, the bad, and the ugly, and in the end, make peace with it. If you have made peace within yourself, then the war outside can do you no harm! Embrace it. Accept it. Keep moving forward with every element you have attached to yourself from the past and soon you will see that you are living a beautiful life!

A DREADFUL BOND

There often comes a time in one's life where they have to choose what the world wants over what they want in the sense they have to choose a path which gives more happiness and peace to the world that to the individual himself. I often wondered why any individual irrespective of age or sex have to choose a path in which they know for sure is not the path they would choose for themselves, why is it that they choose another's happiness over theirs? Do we as individuals owe anything to this world by being born into it? The minute we are born, from that very second, our moral obligation to love our family begins. As we grow and mature, we make bonds of frienship, love, hatred and most importantly, we create a bond with ourselves which grows to be the fuel in our lives and nurtures us eveyday. Of all these bonds, a bond of love is always sudden in its onset, like how a mother knows for sure she will love nothing more than her child the minute she hears it's first cry, a father r...

CHOICE

I'm at my grandmother's place and as I sit on her bed, I'm taken back 3 years to when I sat in the exact same place without having to put the slightest thought into it. The feelings, the emotions came rushing back into me like the water escaping from an open dam. Life always gives us a choice and what we decide do with that often leads us to one of two paths, i.e., happiness or guilt. As I sit here, I contemplate every choice that I have ever made. I have seen a man look at his dead wife's photograph. I have seen a brother cry over his mother's loss, I have seen a man being told that he has not much time to live and that nothing can be done, I have seen a mother cry as she held her child for the first time. These are too many emotions a person feels in his day-to-day life. Materialistic choices are easy to make, as in to make a choice between jobs, education, clothes etc. But what about the emotional choices? How does one make all the right emotional choices making ...
