La Vie Est Belle (Life is Beautiful)

When you look back at the past 20-30 years of your life and pick up all the remnants of memories residing in you and find out that you did nothing, then you have begun to realize that you are here for a purpose. What may seem as accomplishments to others may be nothing to you. You were happy that you succeeded at that time, but in the long run, it did not give you shit. You begin to realize that all your life, you’ve been living for others to talk about you. The happiness you had at that time seemed to be everlasting but disappeared without notice. Or shall I say “vanished into thin air”. To those who feel this way, well, there is nothing you can do about it. You can sit and cry for wasting the precious past which can no longer be bought back (unless there was a time machine). But just remember, if you cry today for the past, all you can do is to cry tomorrow for today. The average life of a human is about ummmm, ok, assuming 70 years. You’ve still got 40-50 years. Believe me, if at all you were born in this earth (if you are reading this, then you definitely are born on earth, ok, jokes aside) , the force that created you (to some it is God, to others it is pure science, but I’ll call it the force) has something in store for you here. All you have to do is to find out what is it that makes you happy. If you think that you have no time, look at the mirror and slap yourself. The force has given you a lifetime. A life time of opportunities. This is a fast world. Opportunities don’t come knocking at your door. You got to chase them and when you find it , hug it hard and don’t let go. You will have something to remember that makes you feel happy years later. And that is truly happiness. If you listened to someone at some point and screwed your life, you can put the blame on him, but it’s your life that’s screwed. You could have lived for yourself at that moment asked and taken your own decision, in that way, if you still screwed up, you can put the blame on you.
Yes , it might be too late to realize that you wasted the past. At least you realized it. Right? But then it is painful. Trust me. It is really painful. After the realization has occurred, all you can see are the beautiful things in life which you have never experienced and you want it all at the same time but then you cannot reach out for any. As time crawls, you will get used to it and learn to experience everything one by one. Like I said, there is a whole lifetime of opportunities. This is your life. No one can spoon feed you forever. Even if they did, you will only learn the shape of the spoon. The road can only show the path, you have to walk through it, just look for the signs and you will reach your destination. If the road is crowded, create your own, life will be more fun. LIFE WILL BE MORE BEAUTIFUL.
The title means "Life is beautiful". Took it from a movie title. The picture too. A really good movie. Watch it if you get a chance.

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……..
