Life seems so demanding at times. At the same time, it appears that we cannot be such demanding towards life. Think over the fact that, with changing phases of your life, responsibilities keep piling up on your shoulders, and you just feel like burying deep inside a labyrinth, from where seems no escape. You crib, you complain, you get frustrated often, impatient enough to break the cobwebs of work and responsibilities, to be like a free bird. We wish we could fly as per our wish. We wish we could have the power to break every piece of rock that hold us down. We want to live our life as per our own wishes.
But is it possible to forget every single responsibility and be self centred without thinking about its consequences. Or would it be wise to run off and spend your life as per your whims and fantasies?
Yes, everyone of us wishes so. There is no harm in wishing a life that we could live as per our own wishes. A student wishes to leave studies and enjoy his time. A typical Indian daughter in law feels like breaking the barriers and fly away to parents’s house. A salaried employee wishes to have maximum time for his family. A business owner wishes to set free of all the worries. A wandering youth, in the path towards success, wishes to forget every apprehension and live life to the extreme. Everyone out there is dissatisfied with his current life. He wishes he could break the barriers that make him dissatisfied. It might be a person; it might be a thing; it might be the responsibility or it might just be helplessness. But the fact is, no one can run away from his own life. The things that he ought to do, he has to perform. No one can change the normal course of life. Yes, it might seem nice to watch heroes in movies to evade from their worries by catching a flight off or a train to an unknown station. But this is real life. You can not run off. It is not that a person is a coward to face the world, but he is sensible enough to judge the implications of his actions. Think once, if our family head, be it anyone listened to his/her wish at some point of life, would you be the one, you are now?
Life is not only about wishes. Life is also about responsibilities. You have been granted the right to live. No one can snatch that away. But remember, with rights, duties follow too. If you are dissatisfied with the course of your life, running away is not a solution. Instead try to find happiness in smaller things. Music, being close to nature, sitting with your loved one, sharing your apprehensions with friends, taking out some amount of time for your hobby, listening your inner self, inculcating some passion, all these things can bring back the spark in your frustrated lives. You have to make yourself adapt to some difficulties because bright sun also gives burns if a person is subjected to it constantly. Similarly, the joy of having happiness will be lost if we are not subjected to darker phase of life.
