…to call ‘a spade, a spade’….
Have spent innumerable days, hours, minutes and seconds to write on a subject my friend suggested…but whatever I wrote…was never happy with it…for some reason it never brought out what all I wanted to say….everytime I would start, it would either get too philosophical or too much of gyaan…or sometimes would miss the topic…sometimes would even feel like a saga…so I just waived off the subject….perhaps the topic itself brought me enough grief or complete disconnect that I couldn’t pen down anything (self) appealing.
So today, I just started writing…whatever comes to my mind…anything…it may not make sense…may be irrelevant…but I have to cross this barrier…perhaps only then will I be able to move to the next subject…so what is playing on my mind now….its relationships….and the complications they bring…
Why do we have to make things complicated? Is it because we don’t say what we have in our heads…or is it because we hold our hearts too much to say what it feels? Why do we always want to be right, when there is nothing which is wrong!
Like every coin has two sides, every story, every situation, every aspect will always be right from one side and wrong from the other…so where we choose to be is the only thought that should matter…why do we tag things as right or wrong??? And since we do that…we end up making things difficult…more and more complex…and in the end, we suffocate our feelings more…
Things would be much simpler if we just called a spade, a spade…or if we like something, appreciate it…disliked something, bring it out and get it over with…or if we loved something/someone…then say that out loud…why wait for things like the right words, right moment, right time…there is no such thing…if we don’t say it at that particular time (when we feel that something), then the moment just passes you by…and what could have been achieved, is missed forever.
Life is a unidirectional event…we can never ever retrace our steps back…so why not do/say things when needed? It’s better to have been there, done that than not having done or left things unsaid… Personally, I have always repented things which I never did…like for instance, one of my biggest regrets is not taking science in my 12th standard…now even if I want, I cannot go back and do it…on the contrary, there are things which have caused hurt and pain…but because I followed my heart…I don’t regret having done those…instead, some of these, gave me memories to cherish whereas some gave me lessons to learn…
Somehow, in this politically correct world, if we want our lives to be easier…we need to simplify us… if we love someone, we should go up and say it to them…if something bothers us, we should speak it out as a matter of fact and sort it out…and once our minds and hearts are clear…we will be able to enjoy, everything, life has to offer and live every moment to the fullest.
