November Entry
A steaming cup of tea in one hand and a newspaper in the other.This is my idea of a bright morning start.And as i chew on the morning news, there is always one page i detest.The obituary column.But today ,one picture up there forces me to read the article.Not a very interesting news.It's about a teenage girl's suicide.Sigh!!!!....I hate that word suicide.How can people even think of hurting themselves so badly??People battle for lives in hospitals.And here are others ,who destroy God given gift of life?Is shutting away their existence the only solution to their problems??....
In life everyone has problems.Even a rich man who has a lot of wealth would have worries about health, mental peace etc. And so does a common man have, his share of problems.But that doesn't land any of them at the one stop end- suicide.They fight, they sweat and try to beat the obstacles in their path.And thus they succeed.
In life, we all make some common mistakes.The main thing being, building expectations. We build expectations on people.You blindly trust that you understand others well or they understand you well.You expect them to pull you out of crisis.And when it all fails, you lose the strength to move ahead in life.
We must always realize some basic things in life:
*Do not expect someone else to pull you out of a situation.It's only you who can do that.It's your life.None care about your life as much as you do.
*Never expect someone else to understand you completely or protect you.
Only you can read your inner thoughts,fears,understand your every move and speech.So don't be let down by others criticism.Just hang in there and fight.
*As much as only you can understand your inner self, you can never understand someone else completely.You cannot predict others,their thoughts and action.We all are different individuals and our thought processes and comforts vary.So do not judge.Be patient and kind.
Sometimes we believe life is only about love and trust.And when trust breaks we break.But there is much more to life.
Life is about being able to stand up on your own feet, deciding for yourself, making yourself heard and lighting smiles along your path.
