| Street art: someone with their thoughts in a whirl |
Someone somewhere will have greater problems than yours, someone somewhere will be more than grateful to be where you are. There will those who believe they have better understanding of this world than others and there will be those who will feel they failed to understand it in first place. All hearts shall, one day be broken, all souls must taste the sorrow from death of those who they love the most. You must have your share and consider it the worst, while sip on mine and bear the pain. Piece by piece things you value, will be taken away, the life left, will have less in it. The heart shall be conned by you and you only have the right to, con it. But not for long. A day shall come when you desire to open the truth from the deep sea coffer. Alas! its boring. The life you constructed with your perceptions, was nothing but a fallacy.
If I am not educated from an elite varsity, I am not an intellectual? If I am not rich, I am not successful? If I am not loved, I don't deserve to live? If I am not on social media, I don't exist?
I am a fool, a failure, facile being, fictional. But yet, to be conquered, championed, and consumed to the bone, at the pleasure of those who are not me. It is an irony. Sometime I look at my life, and I see that I have done, the best I could. As I saw but dreams, borne out of my own perceptions, get broken time after time, I realized that things we wish for, are often what we don't need in life, henceforth, we don't get what we want. So with these life experiences the path becomes a little more clearer. The science of signs. The dark truth, that I would hand it to you: the signs are beautiful when your loved ones at still in your life. Least, you can share a cup of tea upon the dusk, and drain the sorrow down your throat, while, they hold your hand.
For what it seems, the society has turned life into sex comedy, where there is no sex but only comedy. There are principles with responsibilities and then there is comedy, you do the math. You are doped into considering the need to have a panther rather than a partner, and then you become slaves to their vicious whims. That is a hard price to pay.
I am here recommending the amendment to perception bill as per mindset's health policy that you for so long have delivered as a cherry to the privilege of getting in mood, being motivated, finding your mojo, etc. Our elders are as scared and freaked out as we are, because in reality no one wants to be on the losing side, least have to fight their way to grave. The dilemma is: history tells us that conquered don't find a sacred ground, 6 feet down. No one can know everything, worse, only the intentions and even they are buried in the given soul. Our life's decision don't always pan out in the same manner each time. At times its a bluff and gamble, at times its a lesson in the offing.
There is one fact to life; it has its own terms, if you try, you get compromise on some. In the end, life is the distance towards death. So what ever lies in between, cherish it, may be. Life on the flip side is acceptance and adaptation. Failures are not the ultimate outcome of life, they can be converted into lessons and in the end, your biggest asset is, the ability to learn. The way forward, as in words of Sir Winston Churchill,'keep buggering on'.
The word. For now.
P.s. گلوں میں رنگ بھرے باد نوبہار چلے
چلے بھی آؤ کہ گلشن کا کاروبار چلے
قفس اداس ہے یارو صبا سے کچھ تو کہو
کہیں تو بہر خدا آج ذکر یار چلے
