Reaching Divinity


“You have a problem? Talk about it to a friend or cry out loud.” Well, I can’t think of a better suggestion than this. This was given to me by a friend. Talking about a problem to a friend? You need a lot of ingredients in that case. First you will need a true friend who is ready to be with you and listen to you even though you have decided to speak only your problems. Not necessarily a friend – he /she could also be the one you love. If you are looking for the second ingredient, there is none. Only one. Who do you consider the most luckiest person in the world? Take your time and think. OK, I know , the options are millions. I’ll give you the answer. How lucky is a person who is ugly and has no talent and no money? Yes, that was the answer. THE LUCKIEST PERSON. (OK. I will be using male gender from here on. He / She is getting weird.) He is the only person who can find the ones who like or love him for the person he is. He wont have friends because he looks like those dazzling celebrities or because he has Einstein’s brain. He has friends because they like him for who he is. Is is accepted for whatever he does. How wonderful? But ……
After all, whom can you blame? People all over the world are looking for happiness. It is good, but they are looking for happiness at any cost. When you have really good times with a friend and then slowly start whining about your problems to him after years, after a particular point he can only pretend to be concerned about your problems. Believe me, the pain that strikes you once you realize that he no longer is interested in your problems and is getting bored while you are pouring out your deepest, darkest secrets to him with all your heart is unbearable. And the fact that he was the only one to whom you would ever say them is even more gross. My advice, lose him before he walks away. That way you can take the blame. Another one of your mistakes, along with hundreds of others in the bag. That is when you have to learn to lose everything you ever wanted and attained. Try to become numb to the world’s sarcastic deeds. Friendship and love can carry on as long as happiness comes along. If a point comes where everything is sorrow and the relation still carries on, then I call it the one that touches divinity. What name can scholars give for that kind of a divine relationship? I’ll leave it to them. But that is no longer friendship nor love. That is the greatest gift anyone can get. A gift worth protecting your whole life. Or in other words, living to protect that gift. Sorry if my posts sounds a bit philosophical. But it’s just me. OK …signing off…Bye…Need to hear my heavy metal and Jazz……..
