Are you unmanned by the dark or awed by the light that surrounds you? I know I am, everytime I take a ride with either of those. And at the times when hope does seem faint or the destination seems like an unrealistic dream I reach out for something or someone that can guide me back home. We all do!! It doesn’t mean we need to believe in a mighty good or if someone is looking down on us guiding us through..we just reach out because humans are dependant…on our needs, our dreams and more importantly our desire to survive. I have so many times rebelled against those who have told me everything happens for a greater good. I don’t believe that. Things just happen ..maybe there is a reason for it to but there might not be any good or evil attached to it. If you really think about what you hear around you..about the homeless person who rushes into a garbage bag before dawn, a child left by the parents for selfish reasons, a parent abandoned by the kids, people killing their own to fulfill an unreasonable justification, a mom weeping for her dead child…if you really think, would you believe all this lead to a better tomorrow. I used to live in a neighbourhood who minded their own business, who respected eachother’s privacy and whenever we were in a bad situation you find the neighbours at your doorstep. Today, just steps before I enter my house I have seen crowds gathered in my neighbourhood fighting because they believed in a different policy or hear filthy music blasting from next door about some politician. Would I believe that politics knocked on this country’s door for a greater good. My neighbourhood has been split to different political parties and I have heard 13 year olds spilling blood for these reason. Should a 13 year old who is supposed to be enjoying the latest rock band collection or finding the latest playsstation games the most fascinating thing in the world , care about a political argument going on..And then we close our eyes and say everything happens for the best!! Ironic world!
I have painted happiness and misery in one picture too many times. And I write when I am inspired. Where there is darkness there is light..that is so true!! I am inspired by a movie of a homeless man with extraordinary talent , and unfortunately with a situation called schizophrenia who found a friend, who was saved by a friend. The movie tells you about how in a world of such selfishness has a greater power of kindness that can still save people. I believe each one of us has this kindness inside us..but it depends on how we put it into use. Just see around you..observe…breathe in once in a while..maybe you can unveil that kindness you have forgotten. Things doesn’t happen so that the greater good can enter your doorstep ..Things happen and its up to you on how you can bring that greater good to your doorstep and spread it around! Life doesn’t mean you have to win,,,Life means living and letting people around you live. Just for one day, forget the politics, forget whoever stole your watch or beat you in the race..and you might just make a deal with that greater good you are so fond of.
