A world without walls

I like it in the middle of the night, when it's quiet and i can think.It's just so difficult to think when our lives are at fast forward all the time.The noise. The excitement. The thrill. The threats. The love. The fear.There's no time or space to reflect on what matters most, or infact what goes through our lives on a daily basis.

I made decisions in life that, well, some i'm proud of. And of course there are those i'm not so proud of.Either way, i still have to stick by them.Coz whow knows? Decisons are tough to make. And it's even tougher to see where they take us.It's easy to speculate and guess but hey, reality poses it's nasty twist and surprises all the time.

I made a decision to leave behind what others may call a legacy and walk towards the unknown.Some are happy for me and well some are not.That is life. Can't please everyone.And it is never fair.The only thing i can be true to, is well, myself.What i truly want to be. What my heart tells me i should pursue.People often say, once you walk away, there is no turning back.I wonder why is that? Why should it be that way?Why should there always be one or the other? Isn't there a third option? A middle Way? A compromise?

I chose to walk away from something i built my life round.Yet today, i went back.Well, at least just paid a visit.It was an experience, to say the very least.The people whom i thought i hurt making that decission, whom i thought no longer wanted to have anything to do with me, well, they welcomed me back into their lives with open arms. And most importantly, an open heart.

I cannot find words in me to express that kind of feeling i have right now. It is overwhelming.How strange it is that as human beings we tend to jump to conclusions all the time.Pass judgements and stubbornly stick to our own moronic opinions.Not knowing, infact, we are imprisoning ourselves. Punishing no one else, but ourselves.Gosh, what took me so long to return?

What took me so long to see, that nothing changed. The one thing that changed, is me. No one else. Nothing else.That is what i liked about reality. Too much time and worry lines are dedicated by man to conjectures of the mind. Trapping ourselves in these illusions, hallucinations.

I think it is time we, as human beings, should open up our minds, our hearts and welcome people, as they are, into our lives.Too many arguments, fights, resentment, disappoinments, frustrations, have been built on our baseless opinions of one another. It is time to stop. It is time for all of us to LIVE.To live life. To embrace it, with all its flaws and blemishes. I believe it is important that we all do that.

Stop all the speculations about each other. Stop all the conjecture.Stop all the hang ups and pretence. Stop all the judegments. Stop all the blaming. Stop all the expectations. Stop pretending that we don't care. Stop being jaded. Instead, we should all start caring. Start accepting. Start having hope. Start having faith in one another. Start helping each other, not run one another down. Takes us no wehere.

In short, we should start living, loving and believing. Believe in all the goodness that is just there inside of each and everyone of us, all around us. Give it a chance. Let it flourish. Stop second guessing each other. I think truly, that would be the best gift we can give to any one person, any one being, in this very world. Life's too short. Spend it the way you'd want to remember it. Spend it the way you want others to remember you.Here's to all who have known me all through my life. Cheers!
