Let me start this write up with a
small story I witnessed recently. This really made me think on how I should
take life and regret upon on the steps I should have not taken. The burst of
emotions in the story Highway made me think, introspect and re-evaluate on how
I lived for all these years as a child, teenager, and then as a growing adult.
This story is about a girl, who
is brought up in a very civilized manner in one of those rich dream society bungalows,
which many of the girls of her age dream off. If money was something which we
all crave for, it was something which she had in abundance. She had a family
too which supposedly believed were protecting her in all ways. She was taught
to be secure from the men outside but was never given instructions of how to
handle sexual abuse at HOME. She was definitely not normal as any normal girl
would be scared, panicky, if she was kidnapped. But unlikely, she was quite
happy, felt free, and was excited to breathe without any constraints. She
enjoyed the fresh air, shouted when she wanted to, ate what normal people ate,
dressed how a street girl would, and enjoyed every piece of moment with the
kidnapper. I don’t think she was in love only with the kidnapper but she was in
majorly with the freedom she was restrained off for all the years.
Now let’s recall the time when we
could actually do what we wanted to, above all odds and above all ways which we
are supposed to follow. Truthfully, Life has not been unfair to us, though we
ourselves have deprived ourselves of the positive things in life. We are in
this chase of following others like an ape would follow the other or a parrot
would repeat one’s words. Scientists say humans are blessed with this
impeccable system of a brain which does ‘planning’, but I believe ‘planning’ is
the worst thing we could do to harm our system. “The more we plan, the harder
we trouble ourselves, the worse we victimize our humanity”.
This article is not for those who
have recognized their potential but for those who still believe they are not
special. If you were not special, you could have had a clone of yours. Forget
the fact of being similar, the almighty created even two twins in the most
similar but yet so different manner.
Let this article inspire you to
cut off the chains, revive your life, break the inhibitions and fly off to win
the sky. When you believe you have nothing on earth, look up to the sky because 'winning the earth might be easy but winning the sky could make you free'.
