Life Tells Me Otherwise

Time and again life taught me various lessons. Some lessons I accepted with grace and some I just could not digest. I saw good things happening to bad people and bad things to good and sometimes I questioned myself who am I to decide who is bad or who is good. But one thing is for sure that people get what they want if they work arduously for it, whether they be good or bad. 

I have known people who need people just in their bad times. I have seen people talk about love and friendship without realizing that they don't know any of it. I have met people who remember close ones when they need money and after that write them off as 'their' bad debt. I have seen lovers being unfaithful and swindlers in cloak of saints. I have seen leaders robbing the nation and children deceiving their parents. I have seen criminals killing the innocent and the innocent being nailed to death. Tell me one reason one reason why should I not stray? Why should I not learn the life's lesson?

Because life tells me otherwise. I live the way I do for even the million corrupts can't digress me, they can throw stones at me and I might bleed but still they can't break me. My soul is protected by the love and trust of my family and friends. And above all God sends His angels to me whenever I feel low and I'm about to cross the boundary. They came in being- as the kids who teach me, as the stranger who once saved me from getting run over by a local train, as a friend whom I'll probably never meet but talk about my life, as the gal who loves me so blindly. I have taken the life's lesson with heart and soul. I have never cheated upon people; my friends still share their secrets and sorrows with me though they know that I am the wildest and naughtiest(khurapati :P ) brain in the gang... What about you? Can you say these things with the same elan as mine or you have learned what life taught you otherwise?

I agree with what you said, "people get what they want if they work arduously for it, whether they be good or bad"...seen a lot of it...I still cant totally believe in Karma...If strong believer...there are so many questions...which will always go unanswered.

Being called A Friend or being one is not friendship.I don't want to be called as 'A friend in need is a friend indeed'...why only in need why not otherwise...had once received a msg stating 'Don't feel bad if someone approaches you when they are in dark, you are like a candle that light up their life"...Sorry I don't believe it...Yes I am being selfish!

Life is short...what I have lived have learned a lot...and at each moment will be...But at this moment I can't say those things with same elan as you do...at least not now...TOO MUCH OF SELF-CENTERED comment this is!

P.S.khurapati..HMM...HMM :P
You are Blessed!

Good you are thinking aloud :)

You are brave. And among very few who refuse to be spoon-fed. You are fighter.
I wish I had the strength and/or the wisdom to realize the strength which I might have to stand against the life, if I see anything wrong with it.

@Priyanka- brave and fighter... I am just trying to be someone. I would like to be brave one day though. I read it somewhere,"that no man is great, great are the challenges that he faces in his life."
