That Chinese curse 'You may find what you are looking for' is coming true again and again for me. I was unaware of the fact that I always get what I am looking for, with strings attached! Getting what I want badly, comes with a side effect. I guess this is just a way of universe balancing itself with some tears along with the smile. Do I want the smile at the cost of tears? Or do I have to forfeit the smile itself for the sake of a few tear drops? Does the universe really conspire to get you what you wholeheartedly want? Or is it just pure nonsense?
“ 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.
