Dear You!

How is life? I hope its going great. And by great , i dont assume everything is perfect at ur end. I'm only hoping that whatever u r dealing with right now in life, u r doing it with faith that everything is going to be okay!

Let me tell u about something which i really wish people could understand a little more. Yesterday i found the internet flooded with Arjun Bhardwaj's( a guy who committed suicide) facebook video where he had showed steps to commit suicide right before he actually committed one.

This was bound to follow with a lot of articles on depression, on filty rich spoilt kids, on parents who dont love their children much, a society that doesn't care, blah blah. Every platform is coming up with some sort of "gyaan".

But let me ask you, how many of us think abt these things on a normal day to day basis? Why there's only when the alarm rings that we wake up?

I am nobody to give some gyaan here. But i am here to make my point very clear and crisp. Almost everybody of us are going through some sort of mental stress . Its happening because we have become too obsessed with the competition to win against each other. In this whole process, the concept of "we" is diminishing to "me".

My dear friend, most of us are just too exhausted yet we are not broken. We dont need anyone to fix us. All we need is someone who can listen to us. Someone who can just be there with us to experience the silence as well the chaos we are struggling with. And each us must strive to become that "someone ". Each of us should start caring a little more and stop acting ignorant a little less. And that's how we need to take ourselves ahead.

We were not born to live alone. That's what the other side of the life is meant for. The purpose of this life is to love ; give love, receive love and most importantly be the love yourself. We are here to hold hands and walk together.

If all of us strive towards reaching our most loving state, then may be we would start to make a progress from "me" towards "we" .  Summing up with a quote by Jane Goodall- " Only if we understand , we can care. Only if we care , we will help. Only if we help, shall we be saved."


With love,
Nidhi.
