To the People I have loved and the People I have lost

Have you ever loved something so much that you let it go? I know it’s a very strange question. A sane person never lets something he loves leave him but there are times where a person can’t help falling in love with something he knows he can never have. In a general sense I can give you many examples like many of us love those fancy cars The Brits and the Italians make. Deep inside we know that we will never be able to afford them but still their aura attracts us to them and we fall in love with them.

Getting back to my point, all of us have this thing in us that we cant help falling in love be it with things or people. However, there are times when we don’t get what we want from life and although it’s a common happening in every human’s life we have different ways of coping with it. Some of us soldier ahead without regretting the fact that we didn’t get what we want, other seem to get unhappy that they didn’t get what they wanted and they continue to live with a depression and then there is me. Like most of us in this world today I am an emotional fool. I find peace in small things, my family, my friends etc. I have been through many situation where I didn’t get what I wanted and frankly speaking I know its not the end of it. I know that I still have many things to lose. I have my way of handling with it. Till very recently I wasn’t very stone cold with my emotions. I used to cry secretly, feel bad and after a few days sorted my head out and was back to normal. Off late I have lost my feeling towards everything. I realize that I am in a way becoming a dark person, a character who likes to be in the shadows away from everything.

Recently I saw this movie named ‘The Crow’. The protagonist loses his fiancée a day before their marriage and is murdered by the group of thugs who rape his fiancée. After a year of in-existence, he returns from the dead to avenge the death of his fiancée and sets out to kill people. I realized the intensity of the character of Eric Draven. This guy saw his fiancée being murdered in front of his eyes, very painful for anyone. He lost everything he had. While watching the movie there was a particular line which caught my attention. In one of the scenes Eric says “It can’t always rain”.

That line caught my attention for a very simple reason. It showed hope. The character of Draven who had absolutely nothing to live for still hoped that he will be with his love someday, somehow.

Somewhere I compared myself to the character of Eric Draven and I realized just because I don’t have a few things in my life doesn’t mean it’s the end of it. People need to realize that even if they let things they love go away, they will still always have a reason to be happy, maybe not in the same way, maybe something lesser or something greater. Just because a few people are left behind in this road-trip called life doesn’t mean that there will not be any other companion to give us company through life. You just need to realize that everything is not given to you at one particular moment. Its all about going with the flow and taking life as it comes rather than making a castle of happiness in your mind which can be easily destroyed.

Don't Trust Anyone

Not so long ago when I was a little kid and used to love watching WWE (I know, probably it brings back memories from your childhood too) I saw this leviathan of a man who walked the isle into the ring with 2 beer cans in his hand and the sound of what? echoing in the arena. This man was none other than the Stone Cold Steve Austin. One of the best wrestlers the ring had ever seen. He gave the world many things to learn including his trademark 3:16 (hah!! You know), but the most important thing he taught you probably got erased from memory very easily, It was D.T.A or Don’t Trust Anyone. Sitting here right now and reflecting back there is only one thing that comes into my mind. Why the hell did I forget that??

No one in this world can give you anything without asking for something in return. If you need a good job, pay a good bribe. Need a reservation urgently? Pay extra, hell the list can go on. Every single person you know has something in his mind. The only unconditional love you get is from your family and a few friends who are family but don’t even dare to think that all friends come without any strings attached. Most of them come with a string attached and a string which hurts you bad. People can talk on and on about how long they have known you and how much they have cared for you but they have hidden motives and I have learnt it the hard way. Time and again life has shown me why I should not make friends but like the mistake making machine that all of us humans are I have learnt it after having a face full of gravel.

The world is full of masked people who are ready to hurt you at every given moment. People who back stab you. How can you not learn from the famous murder of Julius Caesar?, the guy who killed him was none other than his most loved friend and here we are in the 21st century, the age of technology and yet the characteristics of the man hasn’t been changed one bit. You will always find that one guy who will be your ideal back-stabber. I have such a person in my life, but what do I do??, I let him go without a pinch on his palm. I am sure that someone reading this might just be the guy this blog is dedicated to and I am sure, he will wake up every morning, look at himself in the mirror, DISGUSTED. At the end of it all you readers just remember one thing, Don't Trust Anyone.
