Ironic you may call it or call it life but that’s the naked truth about our whole existence. It’s like you want something dearly, you do everything possible to get it, you or on the road to achieve it and suddenly you realize its evening by the time you reach it or if worse you don’t even reach. What ever it be but that’s sometimes seems to be the underline basic principle of life - Get Lucky or die trying.
The road to success or happiness is not easy and god takes lot of tests to make sure who reaches there is a polished stone. We all know this and we all understand. And what we also know is that life is full of coincidences sometimes favorable and most of the time not so. So hold your nerve and don’t break down under pressure is what we are taught from childhood.
But at the end of the day we are humans, and showing emotions is what separates us from animals. It would be completely superficial to believe that someone faced failure and he did not feel low and never thought about it.
Probably feeling low and finding comfort is the one most important thing. We all try to seek comfort in something or the other may be in our parents or friends and some try to seek it inside themselves. Because it is this comfort that gives us power, that gives you energy to fight back. It is this comfort that reignites the fire within you to wake up again and try again much harder. The motivation to start again could be found in anything some got it by looking at the rising sun, some at a spider weaving the web. But the motivation has to come back. Fighting back from a loss is another trait that makes us man.
Something may have gone wrong and you could not achieve it at that time. This could be one of the ways of god saying probably this is not the right time. Some may say it’s more of consoling to ourselves. True may be but then that’s where some may find his comfort. Looking at the brighter side or trying to find a black box after a crash is not wrong. It is important to understand where we went wrong and taking it as a lesson to begin intelligently the next time.
If the flow is in the opposite direction we need muscles to stay strong and firm. How long we can hold is the test of our endurance, patience and will. One can easily turn around and just flow, but the day when the storm will stop, air will be the cleanest. A fighter can only be judged best when he is loosing. The loss always brings out the best in a person and shows the character and metal what he is made off. No one has lost trying, it’s only when they give it up.
May be loosing and gaining, feeling low and high is the way world has been created. Without these ups and downs life would be just as static as a stone. There would be no room for emotions and everyone would just swim like a fish with no feelings.
Or may be life is all about living that one happy day and fighting the next ten. But whatever we do we have to live up each moment as we pass it. One way to live up is to take life as an experience to look back upon and live in cheer, laugh on irony, find the match box light the fire put the armor and fight again. Or best, feel unlucky and die cribbing.
Can't forget Alanis Morissette over here:
"Well life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
When you think everythings okay and everythings going right
And life has a funny way of helping you out when
You think everythings gone wrong and everything blows up
In your face
Isn't it Ironic"
[Why I wrote this.. probably I am trying to find my own comfort zone and bravery even after being out of range.]
