The Fall that teaches

It is so odd when the world is all of a sudden so condescending to us. It clearly puts you in a position wherein you can hardly think of getting out coz Boy you have become a part of the commotion, you have become a part of the flow. It is weird when people point out that some things are best while you know that they aren't coz deep down you know as you have seen it - the adversities that cling upon it. They point out some vague thing and call it clear. They point out the weak and call them strong. It is sometimes so disheartening when you experience it for yourself and find out the reality veiled behind the curtain of disguise.



People sometimes get acquainted to a place or two and consider themselves the adroit explorer. They swim across a river and take it for granted that they'd be able to cross a sea. Well du...uh that's only a figment of their imagination coz all they need is an eye-opener. The moment they'd do that i.e. dilate their eyes to see the reality Boom ! would go their dreams shattering into pieces. They'd be heart broken and would curse their imbecility. They would rebuke themselves for the things they didn't see coming coz they were short-sighted.

However I don't want to wake them up from their slumber coz they all appear cosy in their sleep. Their closed eyes remind me of the things that I used to do earlier when I was pretending to be asleep albeit with my eyes wide open. I don't want to disturb them. They would learn anyhow eventually. I want them to learn, learn from their mistakes so I don't get fingers pointed towards me for being audacious, so that I don't get accused for simply trying to be polite or for correcting others which apparently no one wants in the first place.

I want them to go for the leap. The leap of faith that would really unravel the mysteries of life. Making it through a fall would naturally give them the wings to explore the new horizon thus would eventually prove to them what kind of blockheads they were.. bragging about something they were hardly aware of.
