What do you do when one day you realize that you had been looking at Life upside down? What do you do when you realize that you have been walking for so long only to find a dead end? What do you do when everything that you believed in turns out to be an illusion??
As i reach the far end of Hope, Despair doesn't seem like a bad place to be... There's a comfort in Sorrow that happiness doesn't give... there's a Refuge in Cowardice that Courage doesn't yield... is it really that bad to seek that comfort, that refuge?
Does time really heal every wound? Or does it become a wound itself? Sometimes nothing makes sense.. terms like 'right' and 'wrong' begin to sound unreal and are reduced to just being words...
Till you make a Choice.. and that is the Hardest Part.

it was not confusing.. it was quintessentially Rabbi.. ;)
i realize everything cannot be 'right' or 'wrong'... it's all relative..
all i wanted to say was that sometimes even when you know the 'way out', you don't want to take it..
and that is when the you're troubled by choices..
as always, your point of view is refreshing.. thanks Rabbi.. ;)
of all the ones i've read till now...this ones the one that touches a sore spot..you know where i am now...and you know it's the hardest part of all...the question of time being the healer or the pain itself has always been a moot point...i suppose in the end it is what you make it to be..it's your choice really...or so i'd like to believe, becoz without that belief i know i'm left with nothing...
i agree that sorrow can give you comfort...but would it be real...here,in this world where everything that we encounter with is an illusion..are you ok with another one,or do you want to keep looking for the reality???
I believe we can strike a Balance... accept the Reality for what it is, yet not lose Hope..
the Hope that our Illusions,too, can be within our Reach..
The point i was trying to make is, it is ok to find a temporary solace in Sorrow..
Sometimes Tears don't just show sorrow, but they do Justice to the magnitude of Emotions you have felt..
after all, Mourning is also a display of Respect.. and every releationship deserves Respect..
they say 'Who has no Hopes, has no Fears'... well Babu, wouldn't we rather be Hopeful than Fearless?? :)
