TAKE A STEP IN MY shoes and you will
find a strength you never knew. It is not weakness to love beyond measure even
when the love is not returned. It is not a weakness to be an emotionally driven
individual. The strength required to bear the burdens of those around us; who
tend to confide all their darkest secrets, would crush more others. So no, weak
we are not!
I may look as if I am silently
sitting, doing nothing. In my mind, I am contemplating the meaning of all
existence; the purpose of all life; the reason for my being. You may even
attempt to speak to me, and if I answer, while deep in contemplation, I do not
remember what I said, as my thoughts were in a different realm even though my
body was here. You may think I have done nothing, all the while, I am exhausted
from the lengths of my wanderings.
Our inner turmoil of existential
crisis after existing crisis is enough to keep us busy.
There was a time when I used to pray,
but it didn’t last long as I succumbed into the dark forces of life. When I
prayed, I never did it for myself. I always prayed for a better world, for my
love ones and the humanity in general. Praying for myself always felt selfish
to me. Whenever someone asks me if I need something for myself, all I’m left
with is and empty mind.
And if I asked you to name all things
that you love, how long would it take for you to name yourself?
I’m the kind of person who believes
that only truth can serve us as humans. It has the power to change things,
situations, and scenarios. I often say the truth to everyone’s face and tell
them how their reality is. Some get offended and some not. I also lie because
I’m not perfect and give in to the world and the lies it’s filled with. But
deep down, my conscience always haunts me. Over the years, I’ve made some
enemies and some hypocritical friends. I knew I’ll find them down the truth
lane because that is what differentiates between the real and the fake.
