Being Human



I was embraced by the tranquility around. I felt like a just born tender leaf, as I took a deep breath of fresh air. Everything was so pleasant around. I was devoid of thoughts without any kind of apprehensions. I looked just perfect. It suddenly started to fade away as I felt a heavy hand fell on my shoulder. I opened my eyes to the pain caused by that slap. It took me a while to realize that I was dreaming.

Few moments later I was just pondering over the dream. It looked so perfect without any sort of pain or pleasure. While the dream was serenity pervading allover, the reality had something very contrasting for me. I wondered if I was dreaming then or was I dreaming now? I needed somebody to slap me into the reality from a dream.

On the second thoughts, if we have something for a continuous period of time, we get bored. For example, if we have the same food/ work for longer periods of time, do we not get bored? We cannot digest the monotony. What we need is change. In our daily lives we perform various actions and undertake different activities. Be it personal or professional lives, almost all of them have some kind of emotion attached to them. We laugh and we cry. We are happy and sad. These feelings might seem polar, but we do experience both of them at some point of time in our lives.

We love and get hurt. When we love, we feel we love selflessly. Nevertheless, unknowingly set some expectations. Many may deny this fact, but the truth is indeed hard to digest. It could be in any relation, expectations are bound to be present. When they are not lived upto, we get hurt. We feel let down, disappointed, anguished. We do get hurt, disappointed, while returning the favor back in few instances.

Physical beauty is superficial and it is difficult not to notice it and even attracted in some cases. However, we often fail to notice that is sublime. While we can debate endlessly, more often than not we fallen in love with the external appearances initially and only then move on to the knowing the real persona.

When things do not go as planned, we experience frustration, desperation, anger and so on. This emotion results in an avalanche of consequences, especially when dealing with less acquainted. Though the job might get done occasionally, usually they do not have positive effects in long term. These are some undesired traits which are usually byproducts of some actions done or undone.

Nowadays, how often we hear the words like “I need my space” and at the same time “I am lonely”? Unless you love, how will know the pain of getting hurt? If not for being sad, how can you appreciate happiness?

Why do we exhibit the numerous feelings? It is a gift to be able to express ourselves. Why to discard this beautiful gift? We can share and express our emotions effortlessly. These emotions make us human. We are humans and can be better.

We Laugh, we cry
We Love, we hurt
We Expect, we disappoint

We feel Happy, we feel sad
We want space, we feel lonely
We cause pain, we feel guilty

We want everything
We want to be complete.

We are HUMANS,
We can be BETTER.

World is our home and humanity is our family.
