That Greatest Loss!

Every loss on this earth is inexplicable.

Whether it is a loss of a dear person, or a long-awaited opportunity, or maybe a life changing moment. Every one of us, in this lifetime loses something or someone. And for every being present on this earth, the meaning of life varies. For every soul on this earth, the amount of pain for the loss varies. For every emotion on this earth, the depth of loss varies.

Somehow, eventually, we come to terms with the fact that the thing or being wasn’t meant to be ours in the first place. Or maybe, even if we get it back, nothing would be the same as before. It isn’t that we don’t try or make efforts to bring things back to normal but what is even fixing, when things have already been shattered to bits?

Well, among all the loses in this world, there still prevails one such loss, a regret, a failure, who’s pain can be equally felt, by everyone: The pain of losing yourself, the regret of destroying yourself and the sorrow of failing your own self. Lifetime it takes, to know about what you are and what you are ought to be, and a second it takes to forget what you were and what you were meant to be. A lifetime, it takes to grow yourself into somebody you always wanted to but a moment it takes to demean your identity. A lifetime, it takes to know your worth in this worthless place but an instant it takes to ruin your psyche.

In this world of chaos, wherever the eyes roll, all we witness is people selling themselves short to fit into spaces that they don’t belong to. People giving their cold shoulders, just for the sake of acting cool. People adding insult to the injury to uplift their banners, trying to impersonate somebody they aren’t! How dope is it for people today, to speak stuff without even thinking of the consequences or the person, on that side of torment.

How every other person today wants his/her childhood days back, moments of carefreeness back and that time of life back when nobody would judge them. But also, how awfully stupid of them to want such, when they are the reason for somebody else thinking the same way? How easy and convenient it is today, to judge people, to mock them down or to say words that can rip their souls apart and at the same time how complex situations get for us when the same words rebound to us. How every other person agrees to compensate to fit in for gaining a little attention. But how disgusting of them to think that they weren’t alone enough for a bunch of people who aren’t even living their real selves? How people today, agree to live with identity crisis but don’t want to invest time thriving their own selves?

Why is it so hard for people to understand the power of their own bodies and brains? And how come they find it so easy to recognize others? People usually in today’s era are terribly dependent on others to authenticate their own potential and capabilities and the time they come to terms with their real vigor, they begin blaming the same person for putting those limitations on them. But who is actually to blame? Who is actually to condemn? Who is actually to put at fault?

Every now and then, you’ll hear people saying they want to become the next ‘whoever their idol is’ but how often do you hear that they want to be the best version of themselves? How often do you hear people talking about the change they want to bring in the society than talking about already existing revolutionists? Or how often do you hear people wanting to change their approach towards problems than to blame others for the same? Well, rare but much needed!
