Lucky You...

...Just in case you are wondering what is my title of the post all about - just had a thought about 15 minutes back and I wanted to capture it. We always complain about things, we usually crib about things not being the way they are - take the example of my previous post yesterday. I will particularly talk about one statent from that post 'my life cannot always be full of surprises, happy endings etc".

You know, each one of us must consider ourselves lucky enough to be able to crib about things not being the way we wanted. There have been people who never got a chance to think...there have been unborn children, there have been new borns who never lived the second day to see what life was all about, there are people who die in accidents, who die fighting a disease, who succumb to self destruction....

That was the real pain I talked about - not to forget the mental and emotional turmoil one goes through when one is forcefully thrown into an oblivion of thoughts....where all hopes come to a standstill, forget all hopes...there is no sign of even a single ray of hope....as if you died in that one moment. And anyway, it never takes more than a second for your world to come crashing down. One second you are at your best, and the very next second - you have lost everything that you value in your life. That very second, you know you start living a fake life - out of compulsion, out of responsibilities, out of the fact that you are born to live, and so you will.

You should be glad you ain't the ones I am talking about - you should be thankful to God you are not the chosen one in that perspective. You should be happy you did not pass through any such moment when you felt you died. Not to say that you died forever, but surely for as long as you could start living again for yourself. It scares me to think of those moments, those people, those circumstances.

And I thank God - I guess people around me are lucky....and so am I....and I would wish God take care of those who have gone through so much pain in life so as to not believe in anything, not even themselves. Amen.
