Forgive me for this....plzkthnx :p

Hi

With few short days remaining before I head back to Mumbai and surrender myself to the routine,here is another post I present you.(There are 2-3 more coming soon,if I could finish them before I leave)

Anyway...

This time it's a short story that spewed out of my useless musings :p

Its about an existing concept but in a quest to quell my boredom from the long hrs of nothingness,I tried to build a silly allegory around it. :p

Imagine you are having a bad day.You go for a walk to take your mind away from it and relax.But as our Lord Murphy(Piss be upon him) has revealed time and again to the mankind,things always have a knack to go from bad to worse.

You walk over a quicksand by mistake.And quicksand happily obliges and takes you in.

That quicksand is owned by a powerful evil creature.It drags whoever attacks its space to the bottom.It notices you and its coming for you.You realise that and try desperately to get out of it.

And just when you had thought you could get out of the quicksand,the creature gets hold of your belt.Lets assume that the belt is your prized possession and very important to you.

That creature will never let go the belt.It is exceptionally powerfull when it comes to pulling people into quicksand by their belts.

Now as per these conditions,the only movement in the quicksand is downwards.

If you hold on to it you'll go down with it.So how do you get out of that.

Or..can you at all..??

Yes.The solution is that simple.You are right...Let go off the belt and come out of that quicksand.

Let the creature devour on it as much as it wants in its quicksand happily.You can always have more of those belts.

Ok I know the fable was bit drawn-out.But turning to the gist of it... :p

The belt depicts the painful past memories.

That creature is the one who is responsible for tearing them up.

The quicksand is the concoction of negativity,regret,frustration and tons more similar ingredients.

Letting the belt go is what Forgiveness is all about..

You do that not because you want to make that creature happy and fed.

You do that because you want to come out of the quicksand.

Should you forget it??..Hell no.Lest you should fall into that quicksand again with that creature.

Remember the golden words,"Forgive but don't forget" and more importantly learn from the experience. ;)

So summing it up.It works.Forgiveness works..It's not about playing saint.It's not about a meek surrender.There is a straightforward transparent motive behind that.That is not allowing your past memories to haunt you perpetually.When you let it go you make a room for a new happiness that might be missed simply because there was too little space and hostility for it in your mind.

It makes you positive,however cliched that word might have become nowadays its the single most important thing that will cruise you through any predicament.It is very conducive to the manifestation of the dreams that you hope will some day come true.

I know I am sounding like one of those guys from "The Secret" movie.(no they are not paying me for that :p) But it worked to a great extent for me and I am still working on it.

Afterall isnt happiness that what all our pursuits are eventually about.

Just think over it.

Give it a try incase you have had a quicksand incident before ;)

(In some rare cases the power of forgiveness will make that creature come to you to apologise and return your precious belt...hehe)

Comments welcome.

Gracias
