Zeejay, It means so much that you read my musings, let alone replied to them. Dil se thanks.. 🤗
It's always a pleasure Sabah :)
I think it takes more courage to stand near me, by pressing like or even posting. 😳😆 I don't think by voicing my opinions in ur thread i have put myself in any kind of trouble 😆 My friends understand me, and eventhough they don't agree with me, they respect my opinion, it's time like these when i feel blessed to have them in my life. And at the end, my friends are all that matter.
She is one of those four, that I mentioned to you before, that group of people in my life that I depend upon. She never becomes intoxicated by the fragrance of my flowery words and always seeks to question the substance at their stems.
After reading her views, I realized that people do have rights, that I can not ignore. For instance though I would beg people towards forgiveness there is a need for justice too. I can not annex rights of people without oppression and causing a type of suffocation.
True Sabah, See we all learn and gather from each other. I agree with your friend, your voice and opinion stand firm and so you did your part by making this post, the response it gets is other's opinion. Also things that are asked for after persuasion don't hold the same value when given on free will wholeheartedly.
This is my point, why do people seek affirmation of their convictions. If I think that Mohit is a good actor, deserves opportunities why should my conviction falter if I find no other to support it? I should have faith in my own feelings, and strive towards doing something about them NOT seek to prove their validity to others, others who even if convinced could do little to help the situation anyway.
It is this need to prove that others are weak or nothing when compared to their own beloved that irks me a little. I mean I don't want to sound like a whiny baby [too late] but sometimes I just need to say things once, just once, whether people heed at least I tried AND then again, I say these things because maybe I am missing something that debate may enlighten me, like with my friend, like with you. 😳
@Red- Completely agree! Similarly if a person loves someone, why do they want others to like them too, why can't there be respect of opinion?
@Green- I feel the same. To prove one, people demean the other, i think it doesn't serve their purpose but is rather an insult to themselves and the one they love.
The very opening line of your post sums it up.
"I have never understood the premise of expressing one's love by way of hatred. I hate all else EXCEPT you! For me it is almost an insult, to be loved by such a hard heart. "
It's only natural to have an outlet for those thoughts which you want to say just once, and it is equally important to put forward that opinion in a good manner, which you did Sabah.
Even I am ashamed of my actions or rather lack of actions during that time, for which I am truly trying to make amends. 😳
You know Sabah, at times i think that people here are young, majority atleast. And these fights, bashings well these are something i imagine myself laugh about later in future, just like i would about loving Mohit so much 😆 People commit mistakes, I have. they change, i have and am sure all they will grow, i have and will continue to. Your post right now acts as a stepping stone for many including myself to reach that stage which you desire and seek.
yes, there is this air of scorn BUT in the words of Adam Ant, Ridicule is nothing to be afraid of.
I do understand that there are worthier causes. I mean if a millionaire's daughter needs a shoulder to cry on, I would hesitate in running over NOT because her hurt isn't valid BUT that I pass many homeless people on the way to her house that demand my attention before I am able to give it to her. However I recently made a decision, right or wrong I don't know as of yet, that out of those causes that I give my time to, 90 % of my time I give to those truly needy and 10% to those whom I love, or rather love to love.
Sometimes I do feel silly, commenting on Mohit's wall, telling him that I miss his smile BUT even if other's scoff at my silliness, INCLUDING Mohit, I did it with good intention, with all my heart. I just love to root for the underdog, it has always been my way. Maybe it is because I am an underdog myself, so that by helping others I think my own path will change. It is all very selfish. It reminds me of that friends episode where Phoebe tries to do one selfless act, for when we do good for others we feel that happiness, that contentment in our soul and hence the act no longer remains selfless.
The world in its whole has various elements, the basic and most evident difference is that of the rich and the poor and it is asked as for the sake of humanity and brotherhood, for every individual to make sure that a brother/sister outside the four walls of their house isn't sleeping without food and shelter. But this world is made of different people, each with different priorities in Life, otherwise wouldn't this place be Just Perfect?
I am glad that you have taken your next step and aim to accomplish it. May God grant you success on this path.
@Pink- That initiates a lot of thought. At one point i agree, with everything we do, we are so selfish, we seek assurance, blessing, pleasure of the Almighty or something in return. But i am not sure if selfish is the right word here, because it is a negative term.
There is a selfish person and a selfless person. I don't think there is anything like the second term. Take for example, when i do an act of kindness e.g. helping the poor i don't seek aything from that person, but rather from the Almighty to accept my act as a good deed. I am pretty confused right now, i will think this through..
Zeejay, I understand you. Sorry for going off on tangents above. 😳 Any excuse to bring up Mohit.😆
L0L don't be sorry, am like that too i understand 😳
As I said, I understand you, and so I understand why people can not be supportive. It is like that fence where others have hammered nails into. Even if they say sorry and pull the nail out OR you forgive regardless and pull it out yourself, there remains a hole.
^^ you penned it perfectly :) Thank you Sabah for being so kind and understanding 🤗
Love
Zeejay :)
