It is raining, but there is no water on the ground….the sun is shining, but there is no warmth. There is the moonlight for us to fully appreciate, but still there is no joy! Birds are singing..children are laughing, but we are oblivious to all of these. A new day has dawned, but we are still stuck with the old day. We are falling from a cliff, and still we never reach ground zero. There are people whom we have known for ages, but we hardly recognize our own reaction towards them. Emotionless we remain..we see people suffering and still cannot empathize. What has become of us? Where have we strayed from the path we were using before ? Why have we become so accustomed to the dark? Or are we the darkness….. or are we at the road’s end where there is nowhere else to go? This is the moment to think of these emotions, but we are unable to think! Every day is the same…or is there anything like every day,,,and not one very long day? Is this the beginning of the end, or is this really the end? Are we actually living ? When we ask ourselves that question , we just hear an echo of the same question,,,but no answer! In fact, we are merely existing…just going through the motion until we are absorbed by the night! So what do we do? Should we make a stronger effort to keep in touch with reality,,,or just stand in line…waiting to be recycled? Are the flowers going to wait for us before they bloom? Will the sun be on standby , awaiting our move towards reality? Who knows? Probably, we are the omnipotent !
MOMENT TO MOMENT
Our lives are made up of moments,,,each moment may be very short, or may be an infinity for us. These may be very unpleasant in nature, or filled with pleasure depending on which hand we are being dealt. How about remembering the sad moment when we were given unfavorable news? What was the dominant emotion coursing through our veins..maybe anger or grief? What about the time when you won the lotto…weren’t you exhilarated ? Even though that moment is just a memory, it still affected us! Then we have the lovers getting lost in each other’s eyes..transfixed..mesmerized..transported into infinity! They are in their own world, oblivious to anyone or anything except each other! Their eyes have become forests,,each is lost in each other. So then, let’s not count our existence in days. hours or minutes,,,,but in moments! By this way, our lives will be more meaningful…because we are not reacting to minutes but to moments. Let us make each a happy one or at least , make someone else happy! Wouldn’t the world be a better place it this was possible? Remember , our lives may be destroyed in a single moment by a single moment. All it takes is just one moment in time to live it , before it is forever obliterated …gone like the wind. So what do you think? Should we count our days, or enjoy each as it comes? Enjoy your life moment by moment,,,who knows whether you will ever see another dawn,,,,think of the present as the dusk of your life…don’t waste it! Utilize it!
