Those days, these days, all the days..

They say (not sure who, but someone someday surely did say such a thing) that even the greatest journey begins with a single step. Well, lets modify that to suit our needs. Greatest storm also starts by little rain drops, much like the little drizzles. Greatest earth quakes are also preceded by mild tremors in the ground. Going further, the tsunami, true, even the tsunami, a huge monstrous wave, also begins with a small ripple in the waves caused by mild tremors. I mean, look at it. Its all right there. Anything and everything that we need answers for, are actually hidden in the nature, in some mystical, magical and in a magnanimous manner, so unimaginable that if you were not looking at the right place, you would definitely miss them. These few examples that I just quoted, are things that have enormous outcomes, I mean, really enormous.

With that said, what should also be considered is the fact that the times during these happen, are the times that challenge the most. These challenging times are very tough and when I speak of that, I begin to wonder. Tough times do not last, tough people do. But if tough times keep coming back, would people continue to be as tough as they were? Would they become tough enough to face the recurring tough situations? Or, worse as it may be, would the tough ones give into the tough situations? Sometimes, I just ponder over this no matter how many times I know the answer for this, which again, is my perception.

Life as it has, brought in too many such situations. if at all there is something that I have got to learn out of life so far, its that the most important lessons are taught to us in the most cruelest way, during which one often tends to lose focus on reality. As a matter of fact, the permanent temptation of life is to confuse dreams with reality, but the permanent defeat of life is when dreams gets surrendered to reality.

We dream, we chase them to make them a reality, we face tough challenges, we lose confidence, we still continue the quest, never give up, still go on, we begin doubting our own abilities, our destiny, and yet, continue chasing that dream, for we badly want that to be a reality. Every time we begin to give up, almost like a buzzer, much like an instant alarm, we hear an inner voice saying 'You held on this long, why give up?' and then you say to yourself, 'Yes, why should I give up?'.

At this very moment, I cannot recollect where I read this, it went something like this:

--- The worst in life is "attachment ", it hurts when you lose it. The best thing in life is " loneliness " because it teaches you everything and, when you lose it, you get everything. ---

(how true !)
