Dear Zindagi,
I owe you a lot of things as you have made me
what I am today and today as I look back the past memories, I’ve noticed you
have been with me through such a long journey and we have together faced so
many ups and downs during this journey where sometimes you felt weak and sometimes
I felt weak. However, there have been many times I’ve tried to ask you
questions and complaints and since you’ve never answered me, I’ve found those answers
on my own. Here they are:
1. Why are you so short?
From the time you’ve come
into my life till this day, everytime I’ve only noticed that you’re moving too
fast and before I can catch you, I fear that you will slip away. My childhood
days have passed long ago and it’s been such a short duration that I can barely
remember. I many a times feel that I could have had a longer childhood but
those days can never come back ever and that’s why I have this complaint.
On asking myself, here I
found an answer to my question. Life is not short but we ourselves do not
respect the time we have in hand. We ourselves spend time in doing things that
are not so relevant and hence feel that our life is short. We cannot change our
past but those days too were in our hand where we could make it different and
consider each day as a gift of God. We could spend each day to the fullest and
give it the importance it deserves. This way, we wouldn’t consider life short
if it had to be utilized fully.
2. Why do we face so many challenges?
In our day to day life, we
constantly face challenges whether it’s from work or from our personal problems
and these challenges keep us so busy and tired that we forget how days pass and
instead we want the low period to get over as soon as possible. Why can’t life
be easy that we can live happily and not face so many problems?
The answer that I got from
my subconscious mind was: Life is not easy or same for one and all where there
are rich and poor people but everyone does face challenges in their life to
keep their life stable. If there are no problems, one wouldn’t realize that
importance of happy moments and take life for granted. We can live a happy life
but we should also learn how to overcome these challenging moments to become a
better person.
3. Can we ever change your duration?
I’ve seen people who don’t
even get a chance to live and the others, who survive, die so fast. It makes me
lose trust in you sometimes as I don’t know how long will you be with me and I
keep asking myself the duration so that I know how many days I have left. I’ve
been also told that we can increase your duration by praying or believing in
human Gods. Is it true?
The answer that I got was:
There have been many human Gods who claim to increase your life duration with
the help of different mantras but ultimately, they are not sure about their own
life duration. The one who comes into this world has to go away as life is
limited and the only thing we can change is our destiny so that we can make our
life memorable. Destiny is in our hands and there’s a dialogue that I recollect
here: Zindagi lambi nahi honi chahiye, sirf badi honi chahiye (life shouldn’t
be long but instead it should be big).
Love you Zindagi,
Regards,
Erika
