Amid so much of tensions, our lives go on. It never stops until we are dead. We struggle relentlessly for survival and it is needless to mention that with time our lives are getting more complex. We are engulfed with huge tasks, whether of our office or study, everyone is running after to grab something very abstract. We are so much engrossed into achieving materialistic goals in life that we do not realize how time slips past. Most of us want something in life but in reality get occupied with something else. I know that it is a common phenomenon and most of us are aware of it that ‘lucky are those who can pursue their passion as theirs profession’. So, while taking part in the rat race of life we keep chasing things that do not render us with positive attribution.
To some, the feelings of ‘emotional satisfaction’ or finding true happiness may sound little weird, but somewhere down the line we all feel down as long as our humanity is intact. Was life so complex while we were growing up? The question is little bewildering, because to our generation it was way better than now but to our ancestors like to our parents or may be grandparents things were complicated that time too. As I have already mentioned about it above, that with time things are getting complex, so to us what we have seen as a child was worth living for but to the elders their childhood time was worthwhile. In fact it is time that we all are connected by, we are reluctant to admit the fact but with time as age encapsulated us, we feel the essence of time.
So, while struggling so hard for our basic survival, can’t we consider life beyond the ‘rat race’ and make an endeavor to live in life rather than just spending time? We all are connected with our memories, memories of good times and bad times. With the amalgamation of both good and bad we tend to connect to our memories often and try to enjoy the time. In our busy schedule when most of us get tired, we try to latch onto those memories of past that evoke happiness or a smile on our face. Yet, it is quite surprising that although that moment of recalling past bring about happiness in us, still we opt to stay away from it. We are so involved into present that we feel it irrelevant to savor our past and envisage a beautiful future. Students and children are taught to shut the door of their mind that can let them fly in horizon, so as we, who are stuck in the overhauling and glittering facade of life that never sets us free.
In a full moon night, may be while, walking or driving your Bike, on an empty road, when there might be a very few eyes, whom you cross with the gust of rushing wind, have a look at the white moon through the trees, It will intrigue a feeling in you that you are still alive. When we learn to find happiness in things that easily available to us, for an instance, spending a day walking around at College Street, Kolkata, and witnessing the life of different people and get the passion to draw happiness from that, it means we are still alive as a human being.
The ongoing incidents where teenagers including some high profile celebrities, who are enmeshed in between the emotional turmoil so much so that they committed suicide. These are some instances that are good enough to give us a lesson that how seldom we are mislead with negative vive of life and eventually end up with a tragic consequence. Somewhere when there is a clash between what we want and what have or get, most of us lose hope and get succumbed, but the easy lesson to learn is that to love what we have. We are not being taught to embrace and be content with the minimum. We are not said that it is fine to get least than to stay unhappy for what we do not have. Somewhere, the world around us and people living in it are getting emotionless robots, who are controlled by someone and don’t have the liberty to do what we want.
The day we can teach our children to think beyond ‘I’ and set a goal to make it we, that day none of our sons’ have to committee suicide or feel down. Embracing others with emotional attachment in their tough time can heal the pain to a great extent if not find cure permanently. We must let ourselves set free from all the invisible shackles that are holding back and do things that give us happiness. There shall always be some people who would disagree and suggest you to take part in the rate race but the challenges lies where you need to have faith in you. Life is not permanent, as all of us, sooner or later would depart the world and do not know what is beyond that exactly. So we must make this limited life worthwhile by doing things that really do good to others as well us give us true reason to smile for.
Let the daffodils dance of your mind in a rainy day and set it free in the horizon. We must live each day and each moment of it so that the day we would lie on our deathbed we do not have many regrets looking back at life. Someday or the other we all have to encounter death and that feeling doesn’t bury our dream but it should open the door and teach us to live life to the fullest.
