The Show Must Go On

"The Show must Go On"- We hear this many a times in our life. This is the best line for any show biz but it aptly suits our Life. Life is a show and whatever come, however broken you are the show must go on. Life should and will go on.

At times Life hits you in every god damn way. It hits you emotionally, it hits you spiritually, it hits you mentally, it hits you financially, and many other ways. Sometimes life is so brutal that it hits you in all the ways at the very same time. It takes you to the rock bottom. 

I think the biggest hit is Emotional Hit. Many a times emotional hit is by other person's behavior. Sometimes people just take unilateral decisions without informing others or the person who would be affected by it. They just decide for themselves and walk away. One of the surprise is that they just don't come back and try to sort things out or explain the situation. They dont come back to see what they have done and help them to overcome. 

May be it doesn't even strike to them that what they have done is wrong. They just walk off as a selfish act. To top it all they shamelessly say that you have changed. They will notice the change in your behavior but they will never notice their behavior that made you change. When people behave like this you suddenly start feeling as if everything is lost. Everything seems to be dark. You just don't understand where to go. Aptly said in hindi "pairo tale zameen khisak gayi"

But then that the rule of the game. People stay with you till their needs. Once their needs are over they just move. It may also be true that many people are clear with their plan to stay with someone. They just use people as fall back arrangements till their plan works out. I don't know why people don't understand or think before they speak or act. People even forget all the effort put in to make their lives beautiful. They forget the time who had been with you in your thins. People just forget. May be its an achievement for them. May be that's life. 

I think, Emotional hit is toughest to handle. Any such emotional hit takes you to the darkest rock bottom in life. But sitting at rock bottom in the dark makes you ponder on things. It gives you time to analyse the situation in all ways. It gives you time to look at the points which are generally ignore. This generally happen with some set of people who really have good intentions and clear mind. They fulfill all duties in a relationship with commitment without a thought of betrayal from other person. Someone told me a beautiful analogy of such people. These people are like those leaves of the tree who glow and make the tree beautiful. And once the tree starts feeling good about itself, the first it does is make all these leaves fall. But then the purpose of such leaves is to only stand in all thick and thin for everyone just to be thrown away after use. Just Stand.  

But then going to rock bottom is good at times. I say, sitting as the rock bottom should be used like spring loaded projectile. Just launch yourself to the highest projectile and let people wonder.

So whenever you are at Rock Bottom, Just Get Up, Get Dressed, Wear Your Best Smile and Just Walk. Walk even if it is baby steps. Because walking will at least lead you somewhere rather than stand still.
