Life is a mystery because it keeps swimming in an
over mysterious ocean that consists of various facets of emotions like – joy,
passion, love, hatred, depression, curiosity, cruelty, lust, etc. These are the
emotions that in turn drive our day to day actions and activities, make us take
decisions and then also force us to do mistakes. Unfortunately, these emotions,
when on their peak, don’t let us think of future scenarios and end results.
It’s
said that ‘To err is human’. Is it so??? And who decides the parameter and the
gravity of ‘err’? Well an ‘err’ is a relative term. Each one of us can
interpret in our own way. Let’s take some situations in life –
Is hitting your child or your love for a mistake
he/she has made an ‘err’, because you care for him/her?
Is falling in love with a person whom your parents
don’t want to accept is an ‘err’?
Is saving a criminal and proving an innocent guilty
as a lawyer an ‘err’?
Is pre-marital sex an ‘err’?
Is always confessing the truth, no matter how brutal
it is, an ‘err’?
Is taking strong self decisions an ‘err’?
Is forgiving someone repeatedly, whom you know is
wrong, is an ‘err’?
Is being in touch with your ‘Ex’ even after being in
relationship with someone an ‘err’?
If ‘To err is human’ was the right statement, then every person in this world who errs, would have got a second chance in life. But that doesn’t happen very often. Sometimes you lose and you lose terribly. All the above mentioned questions strike trade-off situations which are created due to rifts between the thought process of mind and heart. But the end result of such situations in life are not trade-offs. They are ugly thoughts, tears, depression, fear, mental defeat, broken hearts and paralyzed souls. And that’s when you die for ‘A Second Chance’.
And
now the question arrives whether a second chance arrives or not!! Sometimes it
does and sometimes not. Sometimes it’s a way to put things into
place, sometimes it’s a way to come out of haunting memories and sometimes
the chance never arrives. So when there is no second chance, all one
can do is sit down and expect the world and time to go back into past and
he/she gets a chance to rectify everything and thus, put everything in order....but that's not possible.
Henceforth, in order to play safe in life, to keep our so-called ethics &
values alive; we often curb our instincts, our desires, and our heart’s voice
and above all our internal happiness.
Now
since there is a no guarantee of a second chance and no particular definition
of ‘err’ in our day to day life, so live life king size. None of us are always 100% aware of consequences when we take a decision...how people related to that decision will react to it...how it will be accepted by society and all those idiotism...so why give such thoughts any importance when they are so indecisive. Just let everything
go. Listen to your heart. Do what makes you happy…actually happy from within. Anything
that cheers you up, that makes you naturally smile, that fills your heart with
joy…sheer happiness.
Love someone madly, spend money like never
before, make someone feel special, help a needy person, fulfill all your
parents’ dream, go out on a big vacation with friends, have sex, lie if
required, shout on someone if he/she hurts you, just keep drinking one fine
night, dance till your feet give up and keep laughing till it makes everyone
around you laugh…..because no matter what ‘Zindagi
sabko dobara mauka nahi deti’. Don’t
give life a second chance because there’s no guarantee that it will give you
one.
All the best!!
