Recently,
happened to see the movie Premonition acted by Sandra Bullock. It’s all about
her getting nightmares of her husband dying and when she comes to know that it
was going to happen in real, the way she tries to stop them from happening. But
everything ends in vain, as he dies despite all her efforts. But she realizes,
thou she couldn’t change destiny, the tiny tot moments that we give ourselves
and others were what matters than forever. And every second of life is a
miracle.
There are times
we wish we could change things that happened to us, turn around that clock
atleast to a second so we could change all that might have destroyed us. Yes, I
have thought the same for a long time. Even now at times. When I lost people to
death or did something stupid or broke with friends because of sheer ego or broke that blue vase mom loved so much, I
might have prayed like umpteenth times to God just to reverse time a little
bit. So I could stop all this from happening. But even when I prayed so, the
next thought was what’s going to happen to the rest of the world if the clock
actually turned around? I wanted my death ones to come alive, but was it going
to happen for others too? What about the babies born that minute? Will they go
back to the womb? Shit! I cannot even imagine that, but still I want the
impossible to happen.
We never know why
some things happen to us. Why we fail in spite of our hard work? Why we couldn’t touch our dreams even when we
gave the best? Why we turn unlucky in a relation even when we did everything to
make it work? Why people die when we are not ready to lose them? So much of
whys’ and so little answers.
Some things are
way beyond explanations and far beyond our understandings.
Almost a year
back, got a FB friend request from a person I have seen in church. The only reason
I accepted the request was it would be rude to ignore, as I was to see him
every week. However, today I could say he’s one friend I become close so easily
and the way we irritate each other is insane. And at the end of every
conversation we ask each other religiously “Are we friends just to eat up each
others’ brain?” And every time our answer will be Karma or Destiny! Ok. Now that
was a bad example to quote for something like this. Still he was the first
person who came to my mind while writing this.
Likewise, some
questions are to be answered just by these forces. Maybe there are right in
what they are doing, maybe wrong. But there’s no way we are going to find out…
so just leave everything as it is… and live life miraculously with a smile for
everyone and yourself. That's my two cents' worth and something I strongly believe.
Yes, we can never really know the true, I mean the truest, real cause for most of the things that happen to us...maybe because those are the exact experiences we needed for some deeper purpose to be played out in our life journeys...How can we tell? I haven't seen this movie you speak about but it sounds interesting. Will try to look it up sometime.
ReplyDeleteI believe that way too... Some inner purpose for all that's happening. Do look up the movie, it's an interesting one. :)
DeleteLife is a great teacher. :)
ReplyDeleteAmen.
Deletetrust me... you never know how and where u will meet people who will play a major role in your life. Some of the people I turn towards to discuss everything in my life today are people who were strangers a year ago. Random conversations and comments turned into trust and now a bond which I cherish more than I do those around me at work...
ReplyDeleteSo true... and these days I find comfortable taking to strangers rather than long known friends. i find them less judgmental cos they don't know me at all.
DeleteNice sweet post. life aaaahhh nobody can explain it, not evn the wise old men of the past!
ReplyDeleteThanks Nima. :) Life is one little spooky sweet devil. ;)

DeleteOur salvation is learning from our past mistakes!
ReplyDeleteAmen to that. :)
DeleteAll we can do is taste every experience, learn from them and live on. Experiences only come through people...mostly!!
ReplyDeleteRightly said Red,
DeleteLearning and growing and just doing good! Very well expressed.
ReplyDeleteThanks for reading. :)
DeleteI loved that movie. Leaves you baffled till the end, doesn't it?
ReplyDeleteI guess life is all about making mistakes and learning ... without mistakes, would be so boring :)
Hope your friendship lasts a lifetime :)
Seriously Rajlakshmi. I was holding my breathe... so confusing yet beautiful in some many ways.
