The Assurance

In the blink of an eye, you end up doing the stupidest thing on this planet. It might not be stupid or ridiculous to all those gazillion other people, but to the people that this action was directed towards, it means everything.

I have been telling her that everything is going to be all good and well again; things will go back to being how they were before, and that everything that happens, happens for a reason. You are trying hard, really hard to keep yourself together, to keep your emotions bottled up and just keeping your calm. At the same time, you also have to be there for the other person, whose tears are your fault. She might have been reassuring you a thousand times that it wasn’t your fault, but deep down inside even you know that she holds you responsible for it. You tell her,

“Don’t cry because it is over, smile because it happened. Try to find happiness; you’ll find joy and bliss in the most unexpected things. Life is full options; there is no end to the list of things that you are good at. God always has a plan for everyone. Follow the teachings of Buddha. These are immaterial issues. Life has its way of going on. Today you are crying over spilled milk, tomorrow you will be reminiscing about what happened and laugh with the heartiest content. Anger is a disease, it controls you. Anger is an emotion related to one's psychological interpretation of having been offended, wronged, or denied and a tendency to react through retaliation. Just know that I am there for you no matter what. Stay strong and always try to find out the positiveness of it all even when all you can see is the negative. You are a magnet, and so far as yet you have been able to attract all the greater things in life, and you will continue to do so. You have hit a bump on the road, it is ‘you’ who will drive through it and get up on the highway all over again.”

Telling her all this, gives you some sort of a reassurance as well. But how far is too far? You are waiting and holding yourself to watch things revert back to normal, however this time it is taking an awful lot of time. The same episode has happened so many times before in the past, that it has become like a routine that occurs every once in a while. You are sitting here like the old times, except this time without any fear. It is just then, when you realize that a lot of time has passed since it all happened, and you start losing it. You break down, and you no longer know what it is that will happen. However there is still a little shade of that hope in a corner of your heart.

Just remember,           
Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.
                                                            -George Bernard Shaw
