human beings: thoughts & decisions.

 

a thread of connection,
it is breaking,
I want to hold it tight but
I'm shaking,
There is a disaster before my eye
And myopia is now a tornado
I blank out, I kneel down and cry

and here I am,
immersed in solitude
I am walking on the path
where no good soul would  
what is left for me in my hand?
a broken thread.
and you enjoy it
until your dark prophecy is read.

I was in a spiritual class yesterday, and I heard a story. It was my teacher, who told me this story, who eventually gave me the idea to write it down. Actually, it isn't a story. It is something that actually happened. So, my sir, a very generous man indeed, had a close friend. The friend was deeply disturbed. He was in depression, and he made wrong decisions. He was planning a su*c*de-- he wanted to end his life, his little daughter, and his wife's. But thanks to the indication of Almighty, he thought to have a talk with sir. Sir consoled him for 3 to 4 hours, like a true friend, and he, fortunately, didn't take up any bad decision. 

First, sir did a huge job and saved lives. Indeed, opened our minds. Secondly, depression and decision. The bad things in life can be anything, for example being poor or failing classes or focusing on problems but the worst is a bad decision. A bad decision can be made in a second. But one good decision takes a lot of time to make. Always, there is a solution to every problem. But a wrong decision can never be a solution. 

Like sir's friend, we all should consult people who can understand us. People, recently have been committing su*c*de for foul causes, like the don't want to give offline exams. From the examination, I would like to say that I won't upload till March 10, and then I will be back on track. My examinations start today. But it's a phase that we need to cross through. This mental situation "depression" leaves us all helpless. Isolating ourselves from others, having bad habits, and having expectations from people lead us to nothing. What if that person didn't reach out sir? That would have been that many lives are lost.

Please have self-confidence, but not overconfidence. We shall believe in God, not be depended, after all, "All the world's a stage, and all men and women are merely players" [William Shakespeare, "All the World's a Stage"]

Till then, 🍵
