Changing Perspectives

It was a summer afternoon in the city of Delhi. My patience was tested to an extent where I could not any further believe that there is a force who listens when needed. Sitting in the bus I was just waiting to reach my home and cry , cursing the unfortunate time when I was brought into this world. My existence and Life appeared a big burden over me. This was a consequence of long term frustration. I told myself there was no positive force in this world and it’s a give and take hell we live in. As I was convincing myself that this was the only truth of being on this planet of life, a young girl entered the bus. She was wearing black spects , the ones which blind wear. It was absolutely not to disguise anyone as she also held firmly her white stick, her only support to life. She sat beside me and click opened a watch, touched the arms of the watch and enthusiastically told me that she'll reach just in time to take her exam.

There and at that moment life asked many questions to me and answered all the questions I had been putting in all these times of test. Life taught me a lesson and I cried a lot. The reason of course being very different. It was an expression of guilt and remorse towards how I had been looking at life.

I realised it is my duty and responsibility to spread the lesson and this is the way I opt to tell the lesson.

How many times did you pass through a beggar and dared to hug him than to close the windows of your car?

How many times have you visited an asylum or an orphanage and tried to realise what actually life has bestowed upon you?

How many times have you ,rather than cursing the life, happily accepted the challenge?

How many times have you realised what life has given to you than what it has snatched away from you?

Be honest to yourself while answering these questions and you set on the road of optimism and life all together will appear to you a best gift .Live life by not seeing that you have remained less successful than your friends but you have achieved much more than many ,that your destiny had been better than many. Life's rule is simple, the way you look at it , it reciprocates in the same manner. Choice is all yours what you want to make out of your life.
