When I was walking ALONE...

Strange but true...“Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail. This is something which I realized when I was walking alone on an empty road. Isn't it strange we human beings are backed by so many peers around which includes our family, friends, relatives, colleagues and many more.. We work with them, play, share stuff, express emotions, but at the end of the day when you find yourself standing alone and facing all the hardships in life by yourself, isn't it strange? 

This is what I thought when I was walking alone..

We are in our sub conscious mind when we mention things like "Hey, I know you'll be there for me forever", "I have faith in you". "We'll be together always"and many more......, Do we even realize how much sense such statements make  ? Will that person be there actually when you need him/ her. Even if he wants to be, sometimes circumstances around doesn't allow him to be there for you, sometimes destiny,in layman language has such a strong influence that the person goes so far and we can't help it. At times we tend to believe people so much that we forget our own selves. We forget that  "A man who has no inner life is a slave to his surroundings !" We forget that every individual has it's own prior commitments in life which are supposed to be met and no one can help it. Ones who keep aside their aims and priorities and start treating priorities of others as their own are not the real winners because they lose the biggest asset in life ie "SELF RESPECT". Quite a lot of time we tend to lose this asset when we start giving importance to others over our own selves. May be this is something we all know, but  this surely is something most of us do follow sub consciously. Why do we give our steering of life to other?  Why sometimes others start controlling our mind and thoughts?

We have to  realize when we came on this earth we didn't had any names nor relations to deal with. Do you know Jesus Christ once said "Be like a child". This statement has a very strong meaning. Children don't know the meaning of relations initially. We humans teach since the inception try to inculcate in them the feeling of possessiveness, selfishness, dominance by making them recall the relations they have. Why don't we realize we are indirectly caging an independent bird by making it responsible and answerable to so many relations and so many people, by tieng up knots and being so rigid. I know to live in a society and balance our personal lives we need to limit ourselves. This is something that can't be eliminated because it has become a lifestyle. But, why can't we modify it a little by rather than just making the child recall his relatives, making him understand the importance of life and individualism since the beginning. Why can't we make our children realize the value of self respect and independence and the original identity which is far away from all these relations, religions, castism and other factors with which they were born. the original identity of being just a human. Is it that difficult.?
 Why can't we make our children understand the value of living life by their own ?..And that "Life isn't about finding yourself, it's about creating yourself " If we start putting this small element of self respect with a blend of individualism in our coming generations since the beginning I am not sure things will change or not, but one thing I am sure about is....Our children will definitely know the value of relations along with being themselves and how not to take people for granted anytime. This is because all these emotions are interlinked.. “Things change and people leave. Life doesn't stop for anybody ! Why can't we encourage the INNOCENCE in our child to grow and become bigger and better?

I could see that innocence which gradually was missing in me when I grew up....

I wish I didn't grew up......

I could see that honesty in his eyes which has just disappeared somewhere due to this harsh and over competitive world...
Yes I want to be as free as him..
But this world...people around don't let me be..
I'll try...I'll try !
This is what I thought when I was walking alone..

What happens in our regular lives when we are in college for our presentations or we face the job interview, when in office we are answerable to our dominating boss... Do we have someone with us at that time? Where do our so called close ones go when we need them so much?
I know there is an other side to this too which surely says that having closed ones and loved ones in life is really important. After all we humans are social animals ! And as they say..A purpose of human life, no matter who is controlling it, is to love whoever is around to be loved. Yes we have loved ones...We always will ! but......

This hand might just not be there tomorrow when we wake up.
Then what?
So...The coin has other side too which is a harsh reality..At the end of the day one needs to take a stand for oneself !

“Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great makes you feel that you, too, can become great.”
Make relations....
Value them....
Care for your loved ones...
Love them..
But, at the end.....believe in YOURSELF !
Everyone has their own journey and we need to learn....
How to walk ALONE !
