To me peace of mind is very important. But when I hear the question: is peace within you? Quite frankly, I don’t have any answer. I actually don’t know the answer.
Sometimes I get mails from some acquaintances. Yeah I’m easy to talk to but that doesn’t mean I have all the answers & I could solve all the problems. Moreover, a formula that works for one person may not work for another. Life is one long journey. In some cases, it’s not even long. We have seen the deaths of so many young people lately. Plus it’s your temperament too that matters & how much shit can you take. What have you experienced so far? Have you learnt anything or are you still stupid?
I have never maintained a dairy. Once I heard Bushra Ansari saying that maintaining a dairy is a dangerous thing. Again I don’t know. I have shared a lot of things with my few readers on this blog. When I’m bothered, I write. And yes in a way that is catharsis. When I want to have some fun, I write. Those who have seen life closely may know that I am an honest writer.
I suppose the 1st step is honesty & then at some point in life, you might acquire peace of mind. And by honesty, I didn’t mean that you tell people everything but you’ve got to be honest with yourself. We all have faults. We all make mistakes. We make bad choices. Some of us like me get fooled also every now & then. Again this doesn’t mean that we should stop trusting & start lying & playing games. Everything happens for a damn good reason.
Over the years, I’ve met countless folks who believe that their problem is the biggest. Even though millions of people are going through the same shit, it just doesn’t count. Although they pity themselves, yet they want others to sympathize with them as well. No matter how sarcastic or blunt one is, there are times when we just don’t say anything bad. And you can’t show the mirror to people if they believe in imaginary pictures.
I think in whichever direction you go, you can’t have peace unless you confront yourself. You can’t have peace unless you’re not honest with yourself. We all have heard that God helps those who help themselves. I guess it’s true.
