I was walking down the aisle when
I heard a man saying to his child who seemed to be 12-15 years old, “Son, Live
your life as life wants you to live, do as life asks you to do. One day we are
all gonna die. So, why take risks?!” He was right. Why lay on the line when we
could die at any moment. We should serve the life the way life bids us to. We
should live like a normal human
being.
I was still in my deep thoughts
while I was waiting for my friend at the bar since 15 minutes. I noticed a guy
in white collared shirt and pitch-black denims talking with the waitress. “BIG
Day, huh?”, the waitress asked pointing to the five bottles of champagne he
just ordered. “Yeah! It’s actually her BIG day...” the guy answered heading to
a girl who was sitting at the corner table at the window side view with other
10 or 12 people. I could see the smile on her face and the big heap of gifts
and bouquets that had taken an entire sofa for themselves. “Congratulations
Sir! We have special birthday party packages with a free cake and accessories,
if you want?”
“No no...It’s not her birthday. We
are celebrating her victory that she had been working hard for long four
years.” The guy said smiling and boasting a little.
“Ohh, that’s so Great Sir!
Congratulations once again!”
I turned around and looked at her
again. I noticed the tiara she was wearing seeming no less than a crown and perfectly
outlining her forehead. A queen of the evening. A queen of her dreams.
What if she had accepted the
life’s fate 4
years ago? I asked myself.
What if she led a life that life
wanted her to?
What if she chose to live like a normal human being 4
years ago?
Would she be able to live her BIG
day today?
NO.
Would she ever become the queen
of her dreams, her destiny?
NO.
Instead, she would curse her job
every single day. She would become the duck of fate, complaining life every
moment, blaming herself and others for every undesirable thing.
Would any promotion or the
biggest position in her job ever give her the smile she had today?
A BIG NO.
She chose to be an eagle. She
roared. She WON.
“But she is going to die anyway!
What she chose to be 4
years ago will just become a memory and gossip for others after her death! Some
will say awful while others will talk of sympathy. Will it really make the
difference?”
YES. IT WILL. Because she is not
just gonna die but she will die with PRIDE. She didn’t just spend her life, but
she LIVED it. And then I got my answers. Just spending life, accepting the fate
and walk along the destiny and give up on my dreams is killing myself way
before death knocks my door. It’s nonetheless making me nonexistent in my life.
Life is a HARD level riddle whose strands are twisted with each other. It’s
perplexing. I’ll might get dumbfound. But there’s always a solution for every
puzzle. And so it is for this.
