There's More To Life

Author's note: First off, I'll like to thank all my readers. WordsFromLifee completed 3 years last month!! All thanks to you wonderful people out there who read this blog. Keep reading, keep reviewing. :) :) :)

          We all, at least once in a lifetime, tend to use the words, "There's more to life" or a question like, "Isn't there more to life?" School going kids, college students, corporate mobs, artists, old people, everyone tend to say that, "There's a big world out there and so much more to life". And the funny thing is, everyone is right! There is so much that we haven't heard of, places that we haven't been to, things that we haven't seen, feelings that we haven't felt, things we haven't experienced... It's a scary thought, isn't it? Almost makes you realize how tiny we are and how limited time we have. But, I always say, "We do have very little time given to us, and we have to try to make the most of it while we are here. But, even if it's little and we don't exactly know how much, it's enough to do what we are meant to do and reach where we're meant to be (if used properly of course)." Getting back to my point, we do say that there's so much more to life; but do we have a tendency to sometimes forget these exact same words?

          Letting go, moving on, forgiving and forgetting- Easier said than done, right? Letting go and moving on from a broken heart, a broken friendship, forgiving and forgetting someone that has wronged us in so many ways, especially when the memories, good and bad, keep coming back to haunt you, going through the consequences of the wrong they've done to us, fills us up with a lot of bitterness and the kind of hatred, which we never new we were able to posses. This does tend to happen when we are a lot close to someone and then drifting off or misunderstandings, or fights. Do we remind ourselves that there's more to life when we sometimes act cold hearted towards these people? (A/N: Ignoring such people does help though) Not having said something that we should have, a third person trying and succeeding to ruin something precious between you and a loved one, not getting something that you deserve, achieving and then loosing something that we have worked for a long time, everything fills us up with the bitterness of emotions like regret and revenge, which I personally believe are useless. Regret is not going to take you anywhere at all and even if it seems that revenge is going to take you down to the road of comfort and peace, history has again and again proven that it does not, and is again followed by regret. So I stick to my words, "Regret and Revenge are both useless emotions."

          We humans are a lot more than flesh and bones, and our emotions make up a major part of us. And negative emotions like hatred, revenge and regret are only strings that hold us down from soaring up high and seeing what is the 'more' in "More to life". I know that we can't eliminate these emotions from ourselves, but we sure can attempt to convert them into something equally powerful but positive too? And I have a strong belief that if all of us keep making these attempts, we can make this world a better place to live in. 

           Together we can!
