Your birth date was a formula
to memorize for many: your parents and siblings. It was cherished as one hell
of a celebration. Why? It was because you were adorable as you were new. Your
presence had touched lives of many in good ways. You were naïve then; you didn’t
know about how to impress people, how to pretend at times, how to tell lies,
how to fake smiles and compliments, how to adhere to any situation. As in all,
you were illiterate to enter in the university called “Real World”. But still,
your presence was cherished, you were pampered, you felt many gave a shit about
your existence.
Time passed, the infant tone
slowly upgraded to a hoarse/high pitch voice that was inaudible to many despite
its loudness. Isn't it heart-scarring to realize with the increment
in visibility through your height and weight, you lost actual value of yours. You
were tall but no one noticed. You were hefty, no one cared to question you
consciously about your obesity instead they mocked at you. You were all with
smiles, yet you lacked happiness. You have all the gadgets that you have been desperately
wishing for and all the knowledge on how to be expert at using it, yet you do
not feel like using it. All these “buts” and “yets” have resulted in making
your life miserable despite every resources.
This cryptic complication and
dissatisfaction has resulted in increasing suicide number among youths, exponetializing
cases of severe depression, chronic sadness, and what not. Why are we not able
to embrace happiness despite availability of everything? The reason behind it
is simple yet so complex: COMPARISION WITH OTHERS. The day we stop completely
comparing ourselves or ours’ happiness with others, I bet the chronic sadness
shall come to an end.
Have you ever studied or known
about a life of slum. All they care about is living in the moment. They work
for an entire day, get paid for it, buy food with it, and sleep. The same cycle
repeats, boring right? No, you won’t find bit of sadness in them because all
they care about is themselves. Others thoughts/comments regarding them does not
bother them, AT ALL. It’s because they know that at the end you will only ne
with yourself and no one else so why stress over others’ thought-process? They are not bothered by the fact Bill Gates
earns hugest amount of money, someone went to Mauritius for vacation, someone
got promoted for their work, or whatsoever. All they think about is if next day
I will work more/better than I did yesterday, I will have more income than what
I had yesterday. The principle is simple and if followed by every frustrated
soul, it works. Trust me, it does.
Life is too short to live
sadly and with the void feeling. Let’s just self-compare and try to be better
than our own previous forms. Let’s completely get committed to own-self that we
can cherish entirely on others’ success instead of envying about it. Practice
the good deeds of others but never ever get dissatisfied if you do not achieve
the same mark with same effort invested when some XYZ surpasses it. Know this,
you are worth the more. Be happy with whatever you have and ADORE YOURSELF. You
should love and caress yourself at the first place because if your soul doesn’t
admire you, no one else will.
