Dealing With It

If we don’t take responsibility for our actions then who will? What I don’t understand is how people can be so delusional and not accept the reality put before them. What can someone do to help them realise it? Perhaps there will never be an answer to that. My question her is, how can one blame someone else for the way his or her life has turned out to be? That’s the way life is, in the sense that whatever we have planned does not always work out for us. We have to accept things the way they are and learn to adjust. In the same way, we can’t expect others to change unless we do. For every disappointment in life, there’s always a reason behind it. Most times it doesn’t make sense. How can we understand someone’s behaviour? Is it the up bringing? Is it the people who they are surrounded by? Did they inherit that trait? Or was it circumstantial? Everyone in the world has to go through a number of hardships. I think that perhaps every single one of us has been given equal opportunity and equal failure. The only thing that makes them unique is how we deal with situation. Since we are all given equal opportunity, then it all depends on whether we find it or choose to overlook them.
As a child, I often wondered what the future had in store for me. What would I be when I grow up? Where would I live? What would I look like? All of the time I had a picture in my mind that I would be happy. However, it turned out to be completely different. The picture is hazy and the future is blurred. There doesn’t seem to be a reason to look forward. Everything is saturated and mentally taxing. In such a situation, I’m helpless. Unable to help the ones around me who are in danger of getting their feelings hurt and unable to help myself from negative forces. The important thing here is that will they ever let go? Will we as humans ever are able to let go of the fears that are holding us back? Or rather, taking over our lives? Only those brave enough to face those fears will be able to say yes. The others will dwell in the past and look for many reasons to look for self pity. What is the outcome of all this? Is there any outcome to begin with? I’m thinking not. The world today is such a place where the sad are getting sadder and the poor are getting poorer. How to we deal with this? Taking responsibility and trying to look for a better way to live, would be one way. It’s difficult to change someone’s beliefs and principals. So let nature take it’s own course.
