I wish

I wish I had the courage to tell her

That I think about her

That I care for her

That I don’t want to lose her

–

I wish I had the intelligence to understand her

To feel her pain

To let her make mistakes but

To let me feel her pain

–

I wish I was closer to her

To protect her

To be by her side

Even when she didn’t want me

–

I wish I could be someone she prefers

Someone she thinks is handsome

And be hot and cool

And everything she adores

–

I wish I could tell her

That I love her

That I just want her soul

That I just want to be there for her.

People understand a lot of things

What’s something most people don’t understand?

People understand a lot.

They understand –

  1. Any suffering that they’ve been through or can relate to
  2. Mental health issues because every household has these issues now
  3. Injustice done to other people (like Justice for Abhaya)
  4. Anything if you explain it to them properly

People are reasonable and they are intelligent.

India is the largest democracy in the world and I am proud to say that I believe in democracy.

So people vote leaders who then represent them in the parliament.

And basically it’s one of the right ways to run a government.

But it won’t be possible if one doesn’t have faith in people’s sound understanding and sound judgements.

There may be some things that most people don’t understand but these things are there because nobody explains it to them or because it takes a lot of time and effort to grasp them.

I’m glad you’re reading this. Thanks a lot!

I think life is___

I think life is about being truthful and honest.

Let me explain it this way. Truthful in the way that we learn to speak our truth and rediscover ourselves. We look at ourselves honestly and accept ourselves.

I think life is about being free from inhibitions, falsehood and limitations.

Life is about asking God for strength and using that strength to bear life circumstances to do something selfless, to be selfless.

I think life is about having a dream and chasing that dream like a child who wants a chocolate except you never give up like a child.

I think life is about aiming for being the best and die in that effort metaphorically.

I think life is about being yourself by believing in yourself.

I think life is about being able to look in the mirror and love yourself fully and not compare or hate yourself or feel self-pity.

I think life is about making your mother, father and God proud. (I learnt this from a yoga class where they used to teach praying to mother, father and God before starting the yoga practice.)

I think life is about listening to your heart and healing yourself.

I think life is about believing in yourself no matter what happens.

So I hope I will be able to share more of my realizations with you in the future.

Thanks for reading this short blog post.
