ray of hope

Well there are times when you feel like nothing is going right. You spill the glass in the morning and then you have your foot stuck up in the cowshit lying on the road then you have a near death experience when you just miss colliding with the auto rickshaw then you reach office and notice that the google is not opening or you just forgot your fathers birthday, your girlfriend ditches you for a no good neighbouring guy and you discover that your best friend is gay.
Okay that’s going too far but it does happen and when that happens then it feels like you should either kill everyone around you or die yourself.
Life is like hell where you are not satisfied with your salary or you are not sure that you will clear the CAT exams this time. You feel like you have grown too big and are worried about your marriage or maybe you feel too small to get married and your parents are forcing you on the same.
However there is something that helps you to get through these situations. You usually survive this phase of life and then move on to another challenge of life where a different set of problems are faced. Why does this happen? What is it that helps you survive this horrendous period? Its called the will to live.
Man is a very selfish animal (mind well, animal) and he will suffer anything to live, breathe and reproduce. It is a norm of the nature that the more the difficulties come the more resilient man becomes. You know what man has that the animals lack? It is hope.
Animals have the will to live but do not think beyond that, while humans can think how to come out of a situation unscathed. Its hope that clears your mind and fills optimism into you.
I was pretty depressed once and it was then that I realized that life is not a bed of roses. It’s the accompanying thorns that make it so wonderful. I decided that being down was doing injustice to myself. I seriously believe that thinking optimistically causes the production of positive energy in your body which not only helps you but also helps people surrounding you. Here is an advice to you people, never stop smiling and never loose hope and that’s the key to a happy life.

Life is full of misery, loneliness, and suffering - and it's all over much too soon.
