Life is full of ups and downs. Sometimes it’s great and sometimes it’s full of shit. When something goes wrong in our lives, we crib and crib, get depressed, eat chocolates. Some people start drinking and smoking, some start cursing god and the people around them. Some even start questioning the existence of the almighty. Then, the question comes up – “WHY GOD? WHY ME? OUT OF ALL THE OTHERS…”. We start thinking that that’s the only solution.
But, the truth is that one fall and we are shattered with no strength left to get up. What we don’t understand is that everyone goes through ups and downs. And, you’re not god’s only target.
When you’re sad and you feel defeated, and have given up all hope, you tend to remember the great lord. But, when you’re happy and you feel like you need nothing more, (I know this doesn’t usually happen) god’s name is way down in our list of appreciation.
Life is weird, it changes with time. It shows us right from wrong and It teaches us a lot. Life in itself is our biggest lesson. I have learnt quite a lot. When I felt like a victim, I thought god was evil and started to question his existence. I cribbed for a day, was upset the next day and a few days went by until I realized that nothing is going to change unless I go ahead and do something. I can keep cribbing forever and it’s not going to make any difference. I can’t just wait and watch. If I thought there was no god, what was I waiting for?
So I realized. Time heals. But, you have to help it to make you heal. Unless you make some efforts, nothing is going to change. All you need to do is, be positive in life. When I was busy cribbing and asking god what I had ever done to deserve the shit, I realized that my life was much better than others’. There are so many people leading miserable lives, hoping to die as I sit here writing this. And, I realized my life could have been a lot worse. In fact, my life didn’t seem bad at all. It seemed great instead. Optimism just took over, and I felt so blessed. Bad times just helps make you become a better person. And, good times are like the icing on a cake, sweet and tempting. But, it needs a lot of effort and hard work. If everything in life was as good as food served on a golden platter, then life would be no fun. These ups and downs are the only things that keep us going. The only things that make life so interesting. So, just keep hoping for more. And, you’ll start enjoying the roller coaster ride eventually. And, life won’t seem weird and difficult anymore.
