It’s 6 in the evening. Sitting by the window, the sun is about to set and the light of the setting sun glaring across half my face. You see it in the eye and say, “I have lived through you once more and am going to, even tomorrow”. I will survive. “Survival”, is that what life is about? Going a step further, it’s not merely survival; it’s what they call, “Survival of the fittest”. And I am just talking humans, abetting one another just to survive. No one has the key; everyone’s just rabidly looking everywhere they can in the search for it. And sometimes willingly or unwillingly it all comes down to sacrificing people and things closest to you. Parents, friends, brother, sister and who not. But is it really worth it? In the wake of achieving these things is there any room for feelings, sacrifices of one’s dreams for someone?

This is all is worthy of giving some time too, to think upon and reflect upon. I have my set of views on it; you might have your own, or maybe even agree with mine. It doesn’t matter till the time you remember that your life is connected to various others. That your every action, act, or decision goes a long way in tilting the balance of someone else’s world. We say world peace; the truth is we can’t maintain it even in our homes. We expect that, you know, someone, some superman or batman will come as the saviour and get us out of the years of horrors of handling relationships. Well, that all is just in movies. This is real world !! You would say, how I am supposed to handle everything perfectly when I am inundated with relationships – a son of someone, a friend of someone, a best friend of someone, an enemy of someone, a brother of someone, a student of someone, a teacher of someone and what not!! Well, if looked closely you would realize that in all of these, there is only one common factor- and that is “YOU”. So, it’s you who has to take charge for everything happening in and around you. But our mind is recalcitrant and will take a lot of training and monitoring.

We all have the right to survive, to grow and so do others. But then leaving the world behind is not the way to go. Happiness lies in taking people along with you, in sharing your laughs with people and the most important of them all- try sacrificing something for someone sometime, and believe me, that time would be the best that you would have felt about yourself and in quite some time !! 🙂
