Moments

There are moments when life is cruel, there are times when life is a total bitch and then there are those times when life is just a complete train-wreck. Over and over again in our lives we have people telling us “May God bless you” but do we ever care to ask ourselves what does this even mean? What is the significance of this statement? If you ask me its just their way of saying, "Buckle up, life is going to be tough. I pray it goes easier on you than it was on me". 

There are times when you just lose it. We crack under certain emotional or environmental stimuli. It could be anything ranging from deep-rooted childhood issues to suppressed rage (as in my case). There's a rat race going on out there and you would hate for yourself to not be a part of it. Its as they say, 'It is better to be a part of life hating it than not being involved at all'. We have to take in everything and just give our best at whatever feels right. 

Making big in life has got little to do with how talented one is. It is all about the GUTS. Ultimately its all about how courageous you are. The intensity with which you follow your dreams determines whether or not you will reach your destination. The most important thing is to participate, to play along and to get up with the same level of enthusiasm every time you fall down. Life would be a lot more easier if we perceive ourselves as eternal students, constantly changing and learning with an infant's curiosity. I feel the biggest advantage of that would be that we would all be free from the shackles of the so-called "self-respect" and/or ego. All the divide, differences and war that there is in the world is only due to this element of "self" that we attach to everything. Being broad-minded simply means putting cause above self and placing others and their needs before our own. All the world's a sinner and they think they are fit to label others and judge everyone around them? Really, what a shame!

The day reminded me of the lyrics of one of my all-time favorite song:

                               "There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold
                                     And she's buying a stairway to heaven.
                             When she gets there she knows, if the stores are all closed
                                   With a word she can get what she came for.
                                 And she's buying a stairway to heaven..."
