There was a time, I saw dreams with my eyes wide open. There was a time, when I was a kid and there were less complications and expectations we had from each other. We meet a lot of people in our entire life. However, not everyone stays in our life in the same manner. I ponder everyday about this. We used to fight with each other when we were kids. We fight today too, but after each heated argument I start feeling scared. When we were kids, our fights would get resolved within minutes or hours. Today, it takes days or even weeks to get it resolved. The reason or the culprit is our petty EGO!!! Our inability to forgive people and move on. We are a generation which is being driven by social media. In a world where we start getting offended if people don’t reply back to our every message. Is that what we call kinship? Do you remember those petty fights you had with your close ones? There was no need to solve them because we knew how to forgive.
But today, we are not ready to understand anything. The only thing which bothers us is, “how can that person behave like that to me?” Jumping to conclusions without knowing anything. We start forming an image of that person in our mind. The irony is… that same image was clean a few years back but today it has been tarnished. Yes, I had a dream that someday I will be sitting somewhere with my group of people. There were quite a few images in my dream but today, a few images have been blurred out.
“I AM SORRY”, these words have the power to save any relationship. It seems so much easy but little do we know that it takes a lot of courage to apologize. It’s fine if you are offering your apology even if the mistake is not yours. If you love someone then being with that person is all that matters. I believe in the power of love, people may not understand their mistakes today but they will eventually. It’s very easy to get angry at someone and venting out your frustration.
But, it takes courage to do its opposite. It takes courage to be that greater person who is ready to forgive. We often judge people without knowing their situation. If there’s darkness all around and you are walking with your loved ones, will you leave them if they stumble? Or will you be willing to hold on to them? Our ego is just like that darkness and you are the only one who knows the correct path. What you do in that situation defines you and your love. One day, all of this darkness will go away. People will overpower their ego if you are willing to hold on to them. One day, everything will fall into place. One day…
“I am sorry”, in a few minutes his phone beeped again. “It is fine, I am not angry with you and I am sorry too”
