The perspective of a wandering mind

Life is harsh, from the time we are born, till we die, we go through hardships that no one can understand and explain and feel, other than the person who has lived through it. More often than not, we scar ourselves, bruise ourselves living this life. Some, deeper than others, affecting our lives to such an extent that our day to day activites have changed. From the way we feel waking up or the way we feel going back to sleep. These scars, make us contemplate our future decisions, voluntarily or involuntarily. The individual fears that if they be the way they were or repeat their history, these scars may deepen or worse, new scars are formed. The individual is often caught between the decision to either choose to think before acting, or act by feeling, following their instinct, their heart, like they did in the past. How do we choose? Can humanity be trusted with our bruised life again? Does Humanity deserve another chance with us? I'd say, yes! The belief is simple, sometimes w...

I sat down and for the first time decided to write something. I realised it'd been a while since I had an inceptional thought and I just came to the realisation that my mind was bereft of any  thoughts. When I brokedown my system of thinking, the roots of my thoughts, I realised that I've lost quite a large range of emotions which were responsible for me to see things the way I did before. Have I changed? And if I have, is it for the good or the bad? We all come across people who look us in the eye and say, "You have changed!" A statement quite often made and rather quite easily and to  be honest, I've used the expression just as often as everybody else. This got me thinking. What makes us change? The flow of thoughts, emotions and perspectives are so easily influenced and so easily modified by the people we surround ourselves with. We either change for the good or the bad. But who decides if we have changed for the good or bad? Friends, parents, siblings? The...

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 tha...

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 ...

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...
