Life & Nothing More Important


The best gift, man has ever so far got from God, is this life. The power to go through all the wonderful things it has, the privilege to witness the best God could ever do, the affiliation of the people around – such a wonderful opportunity – the opportunity to life. Suddenly, the responsibility of writing something on life has struck me because I’ve been witnessing something very disturbing. Mumbai has witnessed more than 30 suicides over the last month, mostly by students. How shocking can it get! Sorry to say, there is no sympathizing with someone who thinks ending it all would relieve him. I know may be the age is too less to understand the grandeur of life, but then I can atleast put up something for someone who can…

Life without its struggle would be so boring; it’s like that Counter-Strike game with no enemies. Yes, there are times when this world around starts looking so mean and there is no way out. You hit such a low that rising up seems too difficult. These are times when you just need to be a bit patient, be calm and think. It’s just that moment where you reach this point of helplessness and suicide looks the only relief. I’ve encountered this from a very close range and it’s just regret if you manage to live later. “I wish I would’ve suffered a moment more, it was not really that bad (the situation)”, said this person who failed his attempt at committing a suicide.
There have been times in everybody’s life where we feel we should just GO DIE. But then the agony of losing me that my loved ones would go through just because I was weak is irreparable. They love me more than I do to myself and it’s the case with almost everyone of us. It’s our life yes, but it just is not only about us. Someone has chosen to devote his entire life so that you could go study, go enjoy with your friends, buy that expensive cell phone, show off your designer jeans.
You’ve a lot to return to someone, there’s a lot of giving back and more importantly exploring the world. Imagine how unfortunate if you miss out on seeing the greatness of Taj Mahal and am not even talking about abroad. What death if you end it before experiencing the Laughter-till-Stomach-aches, without experiencing that happiness when you make someone’s day just because you were there in their life. That twenty four carat smile because you showed up today with that glitter in the eyes all because of you is to die for (ok no dying). Keep on counting dude. No life is big enough to make you feel content of living it to the fullest. Try as hard as you can, but the list of experiences would never end. How foolish if you end it without even putting up a good fight.
Nothing in this world can compare to being more important than life. Its fine if you’re ten minutes late for your physics lecture, just chillllll. Catch another one. Don’t risk it buddy. And more than risking being foolish and end this wonderful life yourself just because you couldn't pass or whatever.
Come on, nothing can break you so easily. Yeah!

Problem Spotted! Go, go, go!

Go CONQUER Jawan!
