“I am feeling low”, said a friend to me, a few years back.
We were in college then… which means this was… ah! Never mind!
“So? Don’t feel it yaar”, I retorted back, “Feel something
else”
He looked at me in a strange way, waved his hand and walked
away.
“Huh?”, I thought and I walked on too.
I could never fathom what the whole fuss about being ‘sad’
was all about!! I mean if you ever want to feel anything then why not feel
happy??
It was that time of my life when everything was going right.
Of course there were times when things went wrong but then you simply addressed
them, corrected them and moved on. Where was there time to ponder let alone
brood over a feeling???!!
Things have changed now! Yes in between that time and now a
lot of “life” happened!! (If you know what I mean- huh? Huh?)
Yeah… So now I know what the fuss is all about.
I do know now that at times there is nothing much you can do
about a feeling but feel it!... and at times even suffer it!! For all those
dudes like me from my younger day- its true!!
Of course! There is the theory about choosing your feelings
and being whom you want to be and picking yourself up and moving on but
HEY!!... Its easier said than done!!
Whoever thought about taking the horse to the pond and yet
the horse not drinking water was not kidding!! But then whoever also said and
wrote that theory about picking yourself up and moving on was not kidding
either!!
The “twist” in this so far confusing tale called life as
such comes down to one critical thing- “Timing!!”
It is unexplainable and hence makes complete sense. To feel
sad from happy and happy from sad is so much more about timing than just about
you!
A similar incident on a certain occasion may not even scar
you but the same incident at another time may break you to pieces! Whats the
logic? Well.. There isn’t! and hence it is “Life”.
Search “logic” in life and you might as well search God in religion!!
Oops! Yeah… that’s for another time! J
