Us v/s Us

we are living In a changing world, where we have lost the meaning of good and bad. We have been so lost in our own world, we have been working on our own progress, on our selfish needs, that we actually don’t realise, that we have taken some decision that are not ethical. We do take decisions which are out of line, which may not look right when we see it from the other perspective.

We live in a world, where we have been selling sadness, and anxiety for getting attention. No matter how much we deny this fact, it isn’t going to change, it will keep getting stronger and stronger to be opposed. How often do we someone being happy while others are happy? How often to we actually put up a quote on Instagram that express our happiness? How often we have read a sad quote and felt this wave of goosebumps on our skin and that goes at our stories on almost all the platforms. We are living where people are willing to drown in a sea of sadness than living on an island of happiness.

We’d rather drown in the sea, than saving ourself and others. We would rather quit than ask for help, some how people think it’s weak to ask help. Isn’t that weird or more like absurd? I guess so! There is so much negativity in our generation and in our life that it makes it hard to actually be happy to see someone being happy, and chirpy about life.

“I mean are you high or something?”

“Were you drunk last night?”

“Someone’s life is way too sorted I guess!”

You might find yourself saying these sentenced or some other kind of sentences to someone who might actually be happy! It’s not fair to them and neither to you. You don’t have to be questioning someone’s happiness and neither you are supposed to be sad or jealous with someone’s happiness!

We might skip this reality, but it won’t skip us, we can’t dodge life and it’s reality checks. We need to know that there are a lot more quitters than survivors and fighters!

We need to be the survivors, not for the world, but for ourselves. We need to live a life that gives a purpose to us, and others a hope of a new beginning. We need to be the brave generation! And nobody can take our life from us, unless we let it slip from the corners of our heart.

Hold on to life my friend, we have a lot to do, a lot to receive and a lot to give!

I hope you find happiness in the most unexpected corners of your life!!!
