Its not about how much distance you travel and surely not about where you have reached .What is more important is from where you began.That is the reference point to measure your success or failure..of your achievement and accomplishment.The hurdles you have crossed is far more crucuial than the distance you have ran.and then there is the all-powerful-king named "LUCK" that can make or break your effort with a blink of the eye and you realise how miserable and helpless you are.And they say " Results are rewarded efforts are not."
In this uneven biased race of life we often found ourselves in the mire of uncalled inequalities for which we don't have an answer..inequalities that are dumped upon us like an evil curse...Our little footsteps yet to make a proper impression on the ground are bound by the shackles of inequalities that cripple us when all we want is to to sprint through the lanes of hope and aspirations. The snake-like ropes of birth..the chains of filthy upbringing and the demeaning society wrest away from us every bit of space and opportunity to grow, leaving us on our own when what we needed is a hand that would guide us through the tortuous path of life.And the misery doesn't end there...there are inequalities of caste..inequalities of religion...inequalities of race..inequalities of every human vice that has creeped up in all these years of so called "human civilization"..the list never ends.
We conquer one...the next one looms large like a rapacious dark silhoutte marching with all vengeance to thwart our efforts to salvage some precious moments of success.Our starry dreams and sunny aspirations are gobblled up in no time by the dark gigantic blackhole that kills off any signs of light.
But then we are creatures of indefatigable resilience.. The same ONE who creates these inequalities has given us optimism as the ultimate weapon to fight every obstacle that pegs back our quest.
The greater and firmer the obstacles..the grander is the fight..the bigger is the outcome.. the stronger becomes our faith in ourselves as we conquer it.
Imagine a world without any inequalities.. plight..dissent..struggle or fight...really difficult to concieve and impossible to live in.Because these are the stones standing upon which we could measure how high we have climbed...and how far we have traveled.Everything that is smooth is not always safe.Troubles act as speed breaker, halting our journey time and again, to have a look our ability and direction...to measure the intensity of the wind that blows past us insinuating our senses of the unpredictability of nature and to prop up our faith and courage in our abilities to see through the tide no matter how high it is.
I might fail..there is every chance of it..while other might just ride through the storm but fight i must with all my courage.Getting defeated with dignity comes next to winning with pride.What matters most is my attitude and thinking when i am up there eye-to eye..head-to head against these unseen forces that take any shape and colour or even without it.The sun might be scorching..the darkness might be crawling..the rains might be pouring forth..you have to be there..fighting with grit and determination till the last drop of life crawls though your feet to sink in the lap of mother earth.
Your fight might be over but the legend would be as fresh as the morning sun...encompassing a brand new hope and ambition for your future generation.Die you must..anyday.. anyhow..but ensure it is your body on which the other keep up their pedestals so that they could see beyond the obstacles and prepare themselves for the next big one.The essence of our lives aren't measured on how much we have achieved but what we have left for our future generations.The story of every soldier is legendary..whether he dies in a world war or a street fight.
