Sanguine bliss

Why live?

Why live to get hurt?
Why live to feel the sting of pain everytime you do?
Why live in this corrupt world of dark joys?
Why live in negativity and sour thoughts? 

Seriously, why live?

Every once in a while, some of these questions brush our thoughts. 

I have had some strange experiences of life, during the past many years. Every now and then, I used to get hurt for some random reason or the other. The people that I trust and loved always ditched me. These thoughts constantly flashed through my mind, during such a phase.

It took me sometime to understand, what life really is; to understand that the phase, was only a 'phase' and that in the end, things will be okay.

In time, I learnt that life was tough and it gets tougher as the days pass on and we get older; I started to accept life as it was.

Then, it slowly dawned on me, that life is what you make of it; it is the epitome of happiness for the optimist and a sum of sad thoughts for the pessimist. You slowly realise, that your happiness is in the happiness of others. 

I saw the whole world as a void. A void has literally nothing, until you put something in it. You can either fill it with peace, happiness or sorrow, or an emotional blend of everything. The people who tend to put only sorrow into the void, will face sorrow forever and the people who fill it with optimism will face something else altogether. 

I see most people my age has already gone through something or the other that has changed them in a way, they weren't before. When faced with the bitter truth of life for the first time, they get torn apart. 

But thats what makes us stronger!

The only way you can be happy, is when you surround yourself with happiness and positivity; life is beautiful that way. Read your favourite book, listen to your favourite songs, watch your favourite movie, meet new people, go on a spiritual journey far far away from home; create a positive void.

You will always have joy and sorrow in life; this is because they go together and complete each other. Enjoy when you're supposed to have a good time and smile. Always smile! 

Now I ask you this question.

Why not live?

Why not live to see the dawn of a new day?
Why not live to fall in love?
Why not live to hear a child's laughter?
Why not live to see an old couple still holding hands like they first did?

Seriously, why not live?

To all you readers, take care!
And a happy new year! :)
