This too shall pass
I was in third standard when my dad
got me and my sister, a pup. I don’t think I have ever loved a pet more. Three
years later when it died, I learned what grief meant.
All of us would have gone through that
one phase in life when we were drowning in such sadness that we wonder if Life
would ever look better. But then, that phase also passes by.
Ever wondered why people who have
gone through some heart wrenching incidents in Life are always emotionally stronger?
It may be due to the greatest learning that tragedies impart - the fact that
nothing stays. There is a silver lining around the corner. All that we need to
do is hang in there. But that thought never crosses our minds, does it? – Not at
least when we are in that frame of mind.
Same goes for happiness – but let’s
not be a cynical misanthrope ;). When we are happy, let’s live in the moment
and forget the swift transience of life.
The essence lies in not giving up.
This might explain why people turn to a perceived higher power - someone or
some entity, when life takes a stroll down the grief Ville. That source helps
them to be resilient, to realize that this too shall pass.
