Hopelessness 'Worth it, is it?'
“SAD?”
“UPSET?”
“DEPRESSED?”
How casually we use these words, don’t we? Almost every
other individual today is a victim of hopelessness. Hopeless to lead a desired
life, hopeless to get a job and hopeless to find love the list goes on
endlessly. Above all stands ‘hopelessness to live a happy life’. Why? Why have
we become so damn hopeless that we even find it difficult to smile. What went
wrong? What is that thing you lack?
‘Nothing at all, I have everything I need. But still that
little slot of happiness remains abandoned’
If that’s your answer then I guess that the happiness slot
isn’t abandoned but locked. Locked up by you, it is you who can unlock it and
unless you do no one can help. Your best friend might hand over the key to you
but it is you who has to turn the key and unlock. It is not difficult to find
happiness but it is difficult to feel it. Wait! Just hold on a second! Did you
ever think why is the door locked? Were you the one responsible for it?
‘…..’
Rewind your life and check. Were you born a sad person?
‘Yes, the first I did was cry’ (lol)
If you were a sad person then, you think the happy people were
born laughing? Obviously everyone does not live in dark, right? So, if you
weren’t born a sad person then you became one because of the circumstances you
survived. As simple as that! And you are not responsible for it. Life sure does
throw lemons and you can’t do anything to stop that. No, I’m not gonna say that
proverb “Make lemonade when life is throwing lemons at you” because I know it
is not possible. But hey! We forgot the other proverb “Nothing lasts forever”.
Not happiness, not sadness. So why worry about the things that don’t last?
Worry about the present. Right now, what you have. Enjoy it or endure it.
If it is happiness, dance and shout it to the world.'No
no, don’t do it literally or else people will admit you in a mental asylum’.
NAH, don’t worry about that. Your life would just be a gossip for two days and
then it’ll be forgotten. Enjoy every second of your happy times but remember it
won’t last forever. If its pain, endure it. You can feel the warmth of sun only
if you are drenched in rain. You know you’re strong enough because you survived
to see this day. So when you’ve survived this long, then don’t you think it’s
kinda easy to surpass this too? Well, it is. If you’re stressing about something,
then pause for a minute, wait. Stop! Is it worth the pain? Is it worth the
suffering? It was just a lesson life had to teach you to make you stronger than
yesterday. It wasn’t supposed to ruin your future which is why is it thrown out
of your life now. Don’t you think you’re pressurizing yourself for the good
that it yet to happen.
‘You were talking about enduring the pain, now you’re
telling not pressure ourselves. You are the one super confused here’
I was super confused but now I have it all clear in my mind.
I asked you to endure the pain and yet not to pressurize yourself. This is
possible.
‘How the hell is that possible?’
When you’re going
through hard times, you feel the pain. You can’t stop the pain, I agree. But can
you not divide your pain? No, I don’t mean you need someone to say your stuff.
By dividing your pain, I mean can you not make others happy at that time. I
know this task is extremely difficult, but mark my words. When you draw a smile
on someone else’s face when you yourself are unable to smile, trust me that is
the best feeling ever. This makes you realize that happiness is not dead. This
tells you that even sadness does not last forever. It is just a period of time
that has to pass. The cause of pain wasn’t under your control but you are
responsible for how long it lasts.
Make someone else
smile and you’ll see how well your face lights up.
