Emotions sometimes seem so unnecessary to the human mind.
The thoughts, the fears, the assumtions, the prepositions, the questions which
play in our thought process, create an unnecessary noise, distraction for the
silent and constantly busy brain of ours. Not to forget the need the for ‘dramatisations’, that a
normal person is taught from his childhood.
When a person is hurt , his first reaction should be a cry
of pain or a cry for help. Instead, it
is an expression of anger, disgust, or mere vulnerability. When one hears a happy news he had been expecting
since long, his obvious reaction should be a display of delight, or an outburst
of joy , however mostly his first reaction, is pulling somebody close to
himself, to assure he has someone to appreciate whatever good has occurred to
him.
These are what I assume the curtains, a need for
appreciation, a fear of embarrassment, or a habit of comparison is what
complicates our lives the most. Why aren’t we taught to live our life as simple
as possible, instead of being given lessons on how to un-complicate it. As a
child, why are we made to believe in the fear of the dark, instead of the
glorious miracle of light.
There are people who live their entire life from across the
curtain, never trying to find what lies across it, just because they think its normal that way,
and no one wants to be called abnormal. Actually they are mistaken, its not
normal its just very common, and hence easily accepted , when it comes to just
making a choice, over making a difference.
We are taught, to first make a choice between whats harder
and whats easier , above the choice of what is right and what is not. Drinking
a half empty glass of water is a common
choice we make, even though we thirst for a glassful. Just because, the half
filled glass stands right near your hand on the table, and the jug lies all
across the room.
There are second type
of people amongst us, who are intrigued by what lies across the curtain,
because they have tried to hear the voice, from within, although not very
clearly, as a result of the chorus of common men besides them, swarming like a
family of bees, gathered to fulfill their righteous duty. But they never had
the passion or peace of mind, out of the material world, ever to look further,
or just hard enough.
Then there come those, who truly deserve to be called human,
tagged the wisest creatures on earth, others choose merely to play their roles
as men and women, the classical sexes created by the universe. Who follow its
rules, and pace the planet, as monotonously as are the rotations of our mother
earth.
These humans, are those who have looked into the search of
not only, what lies on the other side but also , behind the very existence of
this curtain, that separates the wise from the common. When you find the reason
for the existence of that curtain, is when you truly discover the realization
of why its superficial existence isn’t even remotely essential for our matter
of living.
It is only when you remove the ring on your finger, do you
realize the shade it has created on your skin. As long as it remains concealed,
everything looks as normal, as equal ,as sparkling as it ever may.
