“You are a loser... With a
capital L... Loser”, he told her. She just stared at him in disbelief. After
all, she did not expect him to say something like that. In her mind, he held a
very elderly and respectable position. He might have told that teasingly. Or
maybe he really meant what he said. But, she didn’t know.
All she knew was that she
was hurt.
Tears welled in her eyes.
She was leading an unhappy life; a life away from her family with a work that
assured no appreciations or rewards and a love that was long lost!
And his comment only made
her feel worse. May be she was running away from the pain and he forcefully
stopped her to hurt her badly, thereby accelerating the pain.
Nobody understood her.
My life is my right. I can
live it in my terms. I give an option to people to understand me, but never to
comment about me; and not when they don’t understand me, she thought.
At least I am not hurting
others, she concluded.
Then she thought about
people who understood her and loved her for what she was. They never asked her
to change. A smile creaked in her face.
Life is too short to hurt
others and feel hurt. Everybody’s life is planned by a super-power above us. We
are merely executing the plan.
Sometimes it is precious to
be silent than to yell...
Sometimes it is better to
simply smile than to frown...
Many a times, it is
much-much better to laugh aloud than to get annoyed...
Sometimes, it becomes
important to be with and talk to loved ones... It becomes crucial to share our
feelings and thoughts with them irrespective of how important it is!
Sometimes, somebody’s
adverse comment makes us identify true love and the need for self-love!
She sighed. Many such
thoughts suffocated her. She peered through the window. Dear Sun was peering
through the clouds. She observed the clouded afternoon transforming into a
mellow evening. Her golden silence was interrupted by the golden rays. She
started humming her favorite song, with an unavoidable serenity within!
I loved the deep thought that went into this piece.
