Two days back I recieved a letter from an old friend whom I had known right from childhood,to grow up together.To me,he seems to be destiny's child,with negativity crisscrossing his life rather frequently,with a couple of personal tragedies pulling him back.Recently he has got some problems in his profession,which had really stung him.
The letter reads:
"Through all these days and nights,constituting of a sudden phase in time when I find myself with all the time in the world,I try to think deep and go back to my past,trying to look at people and events from the perspective of a 41 yr.old man that I am.I saw the right things that I have done,as well as the wrong ones.I guess there was a subconscious guilt which had formed Regret inside me because of the wrong things,which I had never analyzed deeply towards the core.Maybe it was a lack of quality time or me not wanting to go back and face them.This time I did and without much effort.
I now understand that everything I have done in my life followed a blurred yet realistic pattern.And that everything meant something deeper than they seemed to do in the past,and every one of them had a purpose,for the future.It was a revelation and suddenly I felt free,as if a heavy burden had got off me forever.I realised it was freedom from Guilt &Regret.All these years I never could accept life the way it was.I had always tried to justify events instead of going deeper and meditating on them to find a meaning.My greatest enemy was something that I created myself,Guilt.I now know one is not supposed to search for justification of everything in the scheme of things.The irritation of bearing the burden of guilt and regret and had been a block between me and life with its inherent,natural ways.
Some things will always be stronger than time and distance,deeper than languages and ways.Like following your dreams.Learning to be yourself.And sharing with others the magic you discovered to feel..
The decisions that we make in life,are a way of defining ourselves.They are our way to give life and meaning to words and dreams.They are the way to let us to be what we are,to let us be what we want to be.
There are some things which one cannot see with his eyes.They are to be seen with one's heart.Like if I find the spirit of the youngster inside me,the boy that I once used to be,with my memories and his dreams,we will walk together,trying to find a way in the intricacies in the adventure called Life,and always trying to make the best of it.
I thought of relationships which had love and mutual affection,relationships which had been suddenly torn off my life,the love of which I used to pine for long after they ceased to exist.I now know that perhaps part of loving is learning to let go,getting to know when to say goodbye,and letting our feelings get in the way of what shall probably,in the end,be better for the ones we care for.
I had always loved Life,a gift to us by Destiny.Now I love life all the more,no matter what..because I have learnt to look forward to tomorrow,withHope ,without fear."
