on the shores of life

Was a reclusive day.. lost in thoughts for there were enough reasons of late. Life is so different each day. The shores of life battered by waves of sadness and happiness. At times, it is so weird. Before life can even take time out and smile at a wave of happiness, there would be another devastating wave of sadness which would come and change the shore for ever..

But life still has the duty to be receptive, to welcome days and the moments which are going to arrive however determined your soul is to remain footed with what you have at present. It is in accepting this change that lies the true meaning of life. Once we accept that life was never meant to be a bed of roses and once we start seeing those devastating waves as challenges, life suddenly becomes something more vibrant and it ceases to become the passive shore that it used to be. It becomes more of a counter force which plays with these waves, which laughs and giggles at the waves of happiness and which bravely fights the devastating waves of sadness.

They say, there is an advantage of being a pessimist. Either you would always be proved right or will be pleasantly surprised! I would still try to see myself on the brighter side of things even if I am constantly and painfully proved wrong again and again. Hope is a big word. Even if the crash at the end of living through the period of hope is painful, the optimist in me will starve untill I keep the tender glass inside me filled with hope..

Thanks Benny.. That will be one of the happiest days in my life ;) I was inspired by a poem written by my friend where in she had talked about the waves as new faces who come into your life
