I just realized that when we do possess something, we hardly understand/ realize its importance. We try to run away from it and try looking for greener pastures. We tend to believe that we are not dependent on anything and that nothing possibly can bind us down forever. After all, we are the masters of our own destiny, we are as free as the bird s– it hurts our ego to admit that maybe what we have is indeed something extremely important to us and that probably our life is incomplete without it. In order to simply prove the fact that we are above mere mortal bindings, we sometimes deliberately demean those precious gems of our lives.
However, only when we lose what we had, we understand the gravity of that thing in our life – then we tend to look back longingly and loathe ourselves for not grabbing every opportunity to enjoy it as long as it was with us. This is and has been an age old phenomenon – we enjoy regretting – we enjoy looking back at the past and wallowing. At other times, we try to look at the future and dread. Seldom do we enjoy the present, just forgetting about the past and future completely and basking in the glory of the gorgeous 'current' circumstances. And that is precisely why we can identify so much with the tragic epics, novels and movies 'cause we tend to believe that it has resemblance with the tragedy which hits our lives. Whereas the truth is that we do not enjoy things to its fullest when we have it since our mind, at that point of time is busy with something else and then when it dawns on us, what we have done, it is already too late and that the moment has passed – and precisely at that point of time our life gets filled with tragedy- so in short we deliberately invite tragedy into our lives, by never remaining contended .
It is like this – when we have a person with us, we hardly find time to spend a few moments with him/her, talk to the person, just soak up life with him/her – tell him/ her how special he/ she is to us and that without him/her our lives would have been so incomplete. It is only when that the person vanishes from our lives, that we realize what a blunder we have committed – then we regret why we had missed any opportunity to let the person know our feelings about him/ her. But when such realization dawns on us, it is already too late. So, to any one who can relate to what I spoke for so long, even remotely, please go, enjoy your life to the fullest and don’t let ego stand in your way of professing your love and gratitude to the people who actually matter in your life, cause you never know, this may be the last opportunity you get to let the person know your feelings about him/her. Just because today you have everything you need, does not mean tomorrow you will remain the same powerful, all-conquering person as you are today – everyone has to bend his/her back one day – so why not start doing it voluntarily instead of getting hit a hundred times on the spine and then get forced to bow down? – There’s still time, people, not everything is lost – go ahead, let nature take its destined path, let your heart show you the way and consider every day to be a Thanksgiving Day …….Let peace and satisfaction prevail upon you.....
