Life is strange. It forces you to take decisions that you don’t want to but; teaches you things you don’t want to learn but; makes you do things that you know would hurt others and yourself but; always gives you hope when you know there is none but; shows you a starry dream and then snatches it away from you just when u thought u have realized it but; gives you happiness and tenfold sadness but; makes you believe that you’re as worthy, important as everyone else and then shows how everyone can be perfectly fine without you but…but after everything that’s happened and even after knowing what the outcome of every situation is, deep inside you still feel like fighting for what you want because you just can’t stop living life.
What is it that is binding us to our lives? Why are we so obliged to live it in a manner that would never make us happy? Each day we face is a struggle; bogged down by friends, family, relatives, even the pets sometimes. The logical solution to every problem you face is always the one that leads you to make some sort of sacrifice. Why are there only a few who really want to challenge this process and make a difference? And are they ever successful? Who decides what is right or wrong in an absolute sense? What are we here to do? Does anyone really know? Well, quite unlikely, but if someone really does, then I guess that person is actually living his life rather than life living him. I would say he is close to finding the rarest thing on the planet - ‘happiness’.
If you take life for granted then it flies past you without you ever knowing when the time passed; and if you take it too seriously, you will end up not enjoying it and then becoming a grumpy old man. They say, “Life is what you make of it”. But if you try to live it your way then suddenly you become ‘weird’ and unacceptable in everyone’s eyes.
What is it about the humans that even after suffering from and sulking for a particular thing they tend to take a second chance at it? Is it optimism or is it mere stupidity? This is a mere fraction of the questions that we are asked by each passing day.
Well, I have asked these questions to myself and have realized that there is no fun in living if you don’t struggle for what you want. If there was no struggle Involved, would success ever be so sweet? Would you ever get healed if you were never hurt? Would you ever be able to experience the joy of happiness if you were never sad? Can you ever overtake someone unless you are behind him? It’s great fun to really go after what you want wholeheartedly rather than being a dingy bat who has forgotten how to fly.
I know I am different and it’s great fun. It feels liberating to know that the others think that you are weird when you know you are just freaking them out. It’s amazing to know that you are rebelling for a cause that you believe in. That’s where you find satisfaction.
