Safe secure and sure - really?

It’s been a really sad week for me and a lot of my friends. Although, totally expected, some changes are just hard to digest. Over the past few weeks, I’ve learnt a lot of things, and the funny part is that it is less to do with work and more to do with life. I am going to dispense some really (supposedly) profound stuff now:  

·         You are expendable. It doesn’t matter if you are the best player in the game, sometimes, you are just not required.

·         A vision is based on intuition, it is not something that totally runs on facts. It is just hard to say, I am sure about “blah”. Time and again, humans have proved and disproved themselves. In a way, it’s just hard to be sure about anything.

·         When in pressure, people start thinking that life is a race and it’s just too bad to be left behind. However, life doesn’t run that way (but yeah! I am not sure about how it does). Too bad, we don’t understand this when we are under stress.

·         You need people. No one ever got saved or got ahead or got behind without people.

·         Hear both side of the stories before you form an opinion - If two guys have a fight, don’t listen to one guy and form an opinion about the other guy. If we both have a fight, I can prove that you were wrong and you too can prove that I was wrong.

·         If you think you are secure with your job/health/friends, then you are very wrong. Your job can leave you tomorrow, your heart can ditch you tomorrow and your beloved can dump you tomorrow. You don’t have to be scared of this, you just need to acknowledge this.

·         There is no such thing called safe. You are not safe doing whatever is that you are doing. Things go wrong overtime (not overnight), but still the change happens overnight.

·         Everything is personal. If something pinches you, it is personal.  

·         “Everything is for the good”, try saying that to a person who has experienced something really bad. And then, go to a doctor to get one of your eyes fixed.

·         People move on, so too we. And, it is better if we move-on quickly.

·         If you were living a lie for a few years, then the lie is still a lie after a few years. It’s better to end the relationship with that lie than to continue living the lie.

·         We were wrong. Sometimes, we were really really wrong. But again, too bad, we don’t realize or accept this.

·         One last thing: love it and live it till the end. It doesn’t matter if the other party didn’t love you back in the end. They say “It’s better to have loved and failed, than to have not loved at all”. This saying makes me feel sick, but it’s very true.

All in all, don’t really buy the idea safe, secure, and sure. Now that I know that things can go wrong at any moment, I am worried about it; but all of a sudden, I am a bit relaxed coz I’ve understood that I can’t do anything about it. I can’t change the situation, I can only change the way I react to the situation.

Ok then! I feel ill, it’s 3 in the morning, let me try and get a few hours of sleep. Good morning.
