When I read the lines in the below two posts, I felt that I just have to share it with the world. Hence, I have quoted them. I have written enough about love, but it seems its never enough. Emotions may bog us down, but they also teach us an unforgettable lesson each time, and for that lesson, for that experience, we need those emotions. But my question is, what is the use of a lesson if we are ultimately left only with that lesson, that feeling, that experience? What is the use if we do not have any more love left within us, just a bitter lesson learnt?
“ What is the feeling when you're driving away from people, and they recede on the plain till you see their specks dispersing? It's the too huge world vaulting us, and it's goodbye. But we lean forward to the next crazy venture beneath the skies.” -- Jack Kerouac (American Poet and Novelist) From what I have seen and admired in humans, they are eternal optimists. Goodbyes seem to break us, but we straighten up and walk, holding our head high, blinking away our tears. And as regards the specks of people dispersing, when something moves away, something else comes near. Guess that's how laws of nature move. If a time comes when nothing else comes near, it's when we will become really alone; alone to live and love life without any reason, taking the next step forward.
If at the end, one feels bitter, then it means the lesson is not learnt yet!
ReplyDeleteFeeling bitter or happy, what is the ultimate use of a lesson if you are just left with the lesson and not the person who was responsible for our learning it? What is its use if we are left alone?

ReplyDeleteFeeling bitter = lesson not learnt
Feeling happy = then why worry about other person
Being alone = excuse me, there are more than one billion people in India alone.
You are right. There are one billion people alone in India. As Girish Karnad said in his play 'Yayati', ಭೋಗದಂತೆ ವೇದನೆ ಕೂಡ ಒಂದು ವ್ಯಸನ. ಒಮ್ಮೆ ರುಚಿ ಹತ್ತಿದರೆ ಅದರ ಹೊರತು ಚೇತನೆ ಅಸಹ್ಯವಾದೀತು. Your points accepted.
