Haven’t written in a long time…been busy finishing work, nursing my dehydration and dreaming of a better life…have I shared about the time, actually a moment, sitting in a fancy car, somewhere in the slums of Mumbai, I realized I had many reasons to be happy, and the people outside my car( see how small my world seemed, as big as a car), yet they looked far happier than me. Why does it take so little to be unhappy and just so much to be otherwise? I sat there making a list in my mind of everything I have and will always, and realized I had everything I could need and want, I have everything I need to be happy.
I speak to myself, im sure many of us to do the same, and ever so often I slip into self pity, “I wish…” list and then I see or experience something that makes me so grateful. I indulge in the paradigm of heaven on earth, forgetting that nothing in life is continuous except for life itself…nothing is forever, not this moment, this thought, not this feeling, deed, nothing lasts, everything has a deadline, and yet its there in full glory, like a flower, blooming before it wilts…what is gorgeous about life is its will to exist despite the challenges, to live, breathe, exist, love, despite everything that stands to extinguish it, that’s life and like Dr Peck puts it “life is difficult, life is complex.” Buts its so worth living…
i guess it is true, life is truly in your hands, what you make of it, how you let it fly, depends on your attitude, your will and your outlook and always remember, we all slip, we all go down that path reserved for self pity and sometimes loathing, and thats just fine as long as you surface from it, wiser and stronger.
Here is to life, the one we live and the one we want to live.
