TAKE IT EASY

I think a lot. Wonder if my mind gets strained and curses me for keeping it ever busy with such strenuous work. No, maybe, it is kind enough to give me some sort of liberty in this regard. Or maybe, its agency of restraints stops it from interrupting the ever increasing intricacies attached with my tales. I am not wise enough to understand its motives and put forth some meaningful statements regarding it. All I am doing is taming it- for its good, of course. Making it experience all the shades of the story, putting before it all the possible consequences, analyzing for a pretty good period of time and finally letting it absorb the seemingly best of the versions of the story. As complicated as this process seems, as cumbersome it turns out to be when the situation arises. Yeah, life was never this philosophical, this contemplative.

Out of the myriad of problems we possess, letting your brains undergo the unnecessary workload is no less a crime- a psychological one. Experiencing the different colors of this world is strange to none except for those who live in some sort of never-never land, whatsoever. As humans, we tend to make those moments a *part* of our very existence and start making them as the reference points for further episodes related to life. How awful is that! How, I mean how could be befool our conscience to the extent that our judgmental traits start acting according to the points of view of the so-called society and not by how they should actually work? We keep on receiving the stimuli from around and respond unanimously without even considering what outcomes the situation is going to bear. Our response becomes kind of monotonous wherein the monotony lies in the line of thought that retaliation- of any sort- is a must. Ah, saddens me!

Sometimes I wonder as to why we absorb it all- good or bad. Everything gets stuck up right there on our mind. Every faculty of ours is naturally involved in this process. So much of undue attention gives so many unending tragic attacks to the poor soul that sometimes it may even shake the very foundation of your existence. The need of the hour is to develop in ourselves a sense of questioning our very own conscience at every such instance when the need be. Asking ourselves a simple question- “Is it worth it?”  - could do wonders. Trust me, your Creator created you as an ultimate piece, why degrade yourself in any manner!

Tail piece: ‘Dohras’ come and go. All that is needed is the firm belief in yourself and your Maker. The doors of conscience should be knocked once in a while so as to let some air in.

After all, suffocation is good to none – whatever the situation may be.
