What I think..

Everyone desires a full life. Bustling with energy, happiness, hope and contentment. Life is not just a word or a concept.. It's like a Facebook timeline- the only difference being the depth of detail and the immortality of each post. You cannot delete certain events in your life or completely erase them from your mind. You only have a choice to interpret them in a different way more germane to your well-being. I see happiness on faces that are oblivious to the details on their timelines. It's not right to judge how correct being oblivious is.. Sometimes it's a choice and otherwise plain blindness. I ponder many a times over how to stay happy in this maze-like world, where everything is interconnected. Every event today is a result of yesterday's actions and can be easily extrapolated to what tomorrow will look like. So my past mistakes have no way to be reinterpreted? It's unfortunate that this mind has no mechanism to absolutely elude thinking about the past. I can't fathom how happy I would be if I could only forget and restart. Life piles on day after day with event after event and it's sheer torture to critically dissect every event. Some things just happen. They cannot be understood nor altered. It's what you do today that will alter or maybe reduce the effects of your past mistakes. It's not facile to be sanguine (optimistic), but this huge timeline called life, that defines each event with equal importance and clarity, can only be made bearable in the mind's eye by forcefully thinking about the present. It's difficult to keep yourself together when you are walking against wind, but you have no choice but to walk on to your destination. Very little choice.
