A reminder by my mind

It has been a long time that I haven’t been able to express down what I see through my eyes through the words here.  How I miss writing those words, checking into the dictionary to match the words with the perfect meanings and how I would read all over again my articles and pat myself. Its 2:08 am here just now and sleep has not engulfed me with its shadow. Its pitch silent just now and here I am seated in front of the screen with my table lamp burning and only the clicks of the keyboard dominating the whole silence. Sipping my favorite coffee in my favorite mug I sit down to jot down whatever I am thinking.

Expressing my feelings through words has always been of a great relief to me and has helped me to a great extent. My dairies, my notebooks have been my best and best of friends throughout most of my times. I stare at the blinking cursor on the screen, the glow of the table lamp and watch the time pass by. It’s sometimes hard to realize how people can tend to be so selfish and land up hurting you in the end.  Wander do they even have a little emotion inside them or a little feeling before they land up with their self seeking concept. But whatever it is, in the end I have realized today that there is no other better medicine on this earth than forgiveness. My recent bitter experience with some dear people whom I had never expected that such moments would also come by has further made me smarter and bold enough to face situations as it comes by. To be getting hurt by someone who is so dear to you is the worst part and to come out of it is even sourer. Yes it has been truly said that experience teaches an individual and I don’t regret to mention that even at this age I am still coming across many different people in my life through whom I am learning and knowing new facts. The concept of looking upon to someone be it a girl or a boy or a lady or man at such times is there and its rare to be getting a care, concern and supportiveness at such times. I am glad that I have some few people in my life who are there for me showing their warmth of care and concern. Today I sit down to write down on my blog with my recent bitter experiences from some whom I had least expected, one thing which I have learnt is that it is always better to forgive and move on. I’d rather take it as something to learn from rather than to forget it with some bad words. Another fact for sure is ignorance.  I remember some words of my Yoga teacher who told us that if the presence of the other person who has hurt you makes your blood boil or raises your blood pressure, then it’s always better to avoid or rather ignore that person because if you get angry it is just going to affect your health and not theirs. In short I should say let the words of Buddha prevail.

I realize now that its always better to have few people in your lives who are worth being called your friends and who are there for you. Complaints never end, the list goes on and on but what counts at the end of the day is how you have faced the situation. I know it is easy said than done but we can always try as there are people for whom saying the word “sorry” is something like hurting their ego. People most of the time tends to look from their point of views with rarely a few handful of them who will think from your point of view, will think on how their words affect the lives of others. One of my close friends who was very dear to me said “….you never try to put yourself in my shoes”. Yes I do agree to that friend’s views and respect but did he/she try to put themselves in my shoes! I know its always easy to point fingers at the others but I am no God nor any equivalent to pass judgment on others. Irrespective of whether I am wrong or right I wouldn’t hesitate to use the word “sorry” because it doesn’t cost you million or billion dollar to use that word. Its less noticed fact that one simple word “sorry” can heal the other person to a vast extent. But, alas! There are hardly any who notices this. All have been dominated by the word “ego”. Sometimes I wonder why can’t people think like Buddha and practice like Him. But regrettably if that was to happen then heaven would have been here on earth itself.
