THE TRAIN BACK HOME
Have you
noticed? What made you happy yesterday doesn’t make you happy any longer.
When
happiness itself is dynamic then how can
the source of that happiness remain constant ? this is exactly why we say, “you can’t make me happy anymore.”
You are in pursuit
of something new now, something interesting, something unique. And you feel
achievement of this ‘something’ would mean real satisfaction and would last for
eternity.
But wait,
hold on, the thing you have right now, the thing you have already conquered,
isn’t this the same thing? That same new, interesting and unique thing you were
in pursuit of earlier? When achieving that couldn’t give eternal happiness how would
achieving this new thing be eternal joy?
The idea is
basically based on self- questioning. Questions
which are hardest to ask, answers of which are easy but hardest to find. Did we
lose our contentment in the bargain of the so-called success? Does the pursuit
of the fictional bliss blindfold us to happiness in real? Are we losing in the
game of hide and seek being played by what we have and what we want to have.
Did we ever look back and see? What we had and what we have now? Do we ever
give credit to the present of being better than the past? Or do we take it as a
granted ladder to climb up to the uncertain future that we may or may not have
but surely desire. So, basically it’s all based on self- examination. Happiness
isn’t a task, it’s a simple feeling. It has
to be felt not to be raced for. In the hunt of treasure, are you missing out the
clues?
Times drifts,
shaking the foundation of the THINGS we have in life. Time shifts the ‘things
we have already achieved’ into the old box of memories and moves the ‘things to
be achieved’ at the top of our priority list.
If I see
precisely I can see time reforming ‘the things to be achieved’ into a TRAIN
whose number of coaches can’t be calculated as it exceeds even infinity. The
train moves and triggers our bones to board it. We somehow get to the platform,
we somehow board the train, with great difficulty we also are able to get our
seat. Sometimes it’s already vacant, sometimes it’s grabbed, but we take the
seat, somehow. After settling down ourselves we realize that this train just
doesn’t go home. Some impatient of us de-board our train on the next possible
stop (and that’s when we start losing). Some stay. Some stay to stay, some stay
to maybe wait for some other stop. But they just stay. They also know this
train doesn’t go home. They might not reach home but are ready to enjoy the
ride(the one in pursuit of reaching home). And you? You just wait and watch
carefully the movement of people in and out of the train, sometimes happily
sometimes with deep sorrow, but you finally let them go. That’s when your
weakness quits your being and your bones become stronger. This is one loss that
shall always remain a gain.
And so you,
with your fellow travelers continue the journey in your train. Hey, don’t
forget to put on your favorite music before you start (start positively).
Give a thumbs up to ones you still see around
yourself, give enough credits to the ones who are gone, they played their part
well.
Change isn’t
bad, it’s a necessity. Wear pink today if you wore purple yesterday. But don’t
burn your wardrobe because blue dint suit you the other day (wait for happy
times, let not sadness trigger your positive spirits) .
No station
is your station. But make sure you keep
getting down at one station or the other, tea breaks are much needed!
