Corner thoughts...

They say...that life is something we all hold on to.No matter how it treats us,we end up wanting it more.
I wonder really how many of us have ever thought of actually ending it all?And how many of us have actually gone ahead with it?its laughable isnt it?We are all drama queens on the inside but on the outside we portray this nonchalant attitude which quickly becomes mundane.The reason?We all love life too much to let it go.
So the answer is to not give up on life...it is to give in to life.Whether,you're agnostic or an atheist or a religious devotee of the big guy up there you have to realise that life as we know it is not what it all seems in reality.
To be more lucid,haven't we all met someone and then misjudged them either in a positive or a negative manner?Only to realise later on,that they were someone else on the inside.
Thats life...it teaches you to let go,give in,give up and lose control.It tells you to do whatever it takes to scourge that burning feeling on the inside and replace it with something more poisonous which burns even more.It turns us into madmen,fools and even washouts.But we still dont give up,do we?
I remember seeing this movie on tv once.it was about the freedom struggle that india went through against the british and during the riots a young indian decides to enlist for the rebels who were trying to overthrow the british tyranny.He is first however taught to slay a chicken in his backyard...and he finds that he is unable to even bring the knife close to its throat.He gives up and realises that if hes unable to slay a chicken in cold blood,what use is he on the battlefield when real lives of real men are on the line?
He slowly nerves himself for the ordeal and finally slays the chicken...if im not wrong this man turns out to be a great indian freedom fighter in the latter part of his life.
All im trying to do here is draw up an analogy between this incident and how life is in general.You see,life prepares us for the big bad wolf out there.If we dont embrace it but instead fight it...we end up giving it up.We end up broken on the floor with not a stair in sight.

Wrapping it up,i feel that if we ever feel all battered up n the inside,we just got to know that its just life's way of steeling us up cuz a bigger storm might be heading our way and we need to learn to not be blown away again!!!
