Sometimes we move through life without paying much attention to what is happening around us..The more we hear abougt pain , death, torture the more we become immune to such news. Im not trying to say we have become hard hearted, we have learnt not to let such issues bother us. There have been many instances in which i have blamed the victims for acting without common sense or being at the wrong place at the wrong time.
But when horrible things happen to you, you realise that at certain instances there is nothing you can do. You may think that wat you made was a good judgement call, you can think "i live in this protected bubble" no one is going to hurt me.. But at the end of the day you realise it is not in your hands. Things can change in a matter of few mins and the only thought that remains in your head is "Why me?". After you have time to process if not accept what happened you try to take a positive outlook and ask yourself "Why not me?"
Ya although am very well known about my pessimistic outlook one thing i believe in is you always get only what you can handle. So probably you would have been able to handle the situation better than someone else. More importantly one thing that i have learnt to do is face my fears.
Do things that would not only help you in the process of healing but also would prevent the same thing from happening to another. I am not some teenager who thinks we should do a "Yuva" or "Be a Rebel" but if you think you can do something to do something to protect either you or the people around you do it. However hard it is i think that would be the only way you can actually get over what happens to you. Lets please stop being so immune what is happening around us for you never know it can happen to you.
ok.. whats with the serious tone? ya but u hav a point..But to be valid i think unless "things" happen to ppl you know you never really care...Chill out babes :) Dont be so serious..
ReplyDeletethat seems straight from experience eh?
ReplyDeletehmm.. but easier said than done... there are too many things of that sort, ay? and in these times when 24 hrs seem too little to fight out in the workplace, one would rather spend some time with the family than thinking about some distant calamity!

ReplyDeleteHmm. Well if "whatever" it is that u r talking about is in ur hands and u know from experience that it's not a great thing n u dont want ur friend to go thru it,I guess it's ur duty to warn ur friend/keep ur friend from it.As for why me thingie..Face it aarthi it's not in ur hands.Iam agnostic.I dont think u can hold God responsible...How bout that freaky guy we met at sathyam theatre during Santhosh subramaniam?? :P Perfect scapegoat.the bugger deserves it too.
ReplyDeleteFrom Iyer mamis to Chauvinism to Philosophy, topics are never the same, good daa.....
ReplyDeleteAs to the topic, yes nobody's invincible and you could soon be a victim in the eyes of others....To be frank, everybody's treading a different path, some dangerous from other's perspective... What appears to be a high risk game to me may not be so for the fren playing it....And when that fren is as hot-headed as I am nowadays, there is very little that I can do to help... And people we can really make an impact on, are the ones in our circle of influence.... And this circle can only be widended through shared interests and different experiences we go through... We can do the Philanthropy stuff reaching out to the poor, but as our terrible cousin said, do we always have the opportunity, if not time to do it??? We can best control the things that happen to us but I do not suggest we turn a blind eye to people around us.... We should look to get them under our circle of influence and if there are not responsive, give a damn and get on with ur life...
