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.
