A Painful Journey - PART II

Once in a while, when we have the time to ponder, we tend to think in the lines of 'What are we doing with our life? Are we heading in the right direction?'. These questions opens the path to a myriad of other questions. These questions are all but natural to think about, but one thing that always hits me hard is 'Why are we so worried about our future?'.Even the most well laid plans may not stand the test of time, but yet we plan and plan so that our future is secure. Is it the right thing to do? Should we always lookout for our future?


Dr. APJ Abdul kalam always says that 'You should DREAM'. Should we dream and go for it? Is that our future? Well, we might never know until we chase that dream. But, even in this case, our future need not be what we had in our dreams. It may be close, but yet not exact. hmmm...It still is not a guarantee!


What is this future? Is it based on our goals and aspirations? Is it based on our happiness and sadness? Is it based on pleasure and pain? I think, it is a mixture of all these and even more. We always want our future to be happy, fun and all the good things in life mixed together. But do we end up getting there? That my friend is up to us. It is up to us to make sure that we work towards our future. The path will be riddled with obstacles and it will be a PAINFUL JOURNEY. It might be painful physically, it might be painful emotionally but I can guarantee that it will be PAINFUL. I cannot guarantee that the future will be all that you wanted though. Come on, If Dr. Abdul Kalam cannot guarantee it, can I??!
