Benefit Of Doubt ?



She ran through the dark alley and stopped for breath. It was around 1:00 a.m. Her cellphone was dead and she didn't know whom to contact. The only thing running through her mind was whether she would be alive tomorrow. Whether she would be able to live a peaceful,happy life like she had always imagined. Right now her life was at stake and little did she know what was in store for her. After collecting her thoughts,she decided to take the subway to 49 Wellington street. Perhaps she'd be able to find someone who could help her there?

She heard the footsteps approaching her. It got louder with every passing moment. With her heart in her throat,she mustered up the courage to start running again. Her heels were aching. She was exhausted after a long day at work. She only wished she had left her workplace a little earlier with her peers. She wouldn't have to go through this ordeal then. As she began to lift her bags off the ground,she saw the shadow of a man being cast on the wall. He was well-built.There was no way she would be able to fight him. She had lost all hope and was pretty sure this was going to be her last day.

He  paced forward. She kept moving away. He had a bewildered look on his face. He finally broke the deafening silence."Madam, I suppose this is your purse?You dropped it on the way."

As unlikely as this might seem in the real world,I think sometimes,just sometimes, we need to keep an open mind and look beyond what we really see.The world might not be that bad a place after all.

Superficiality

Frustrated,unhappy and highly disillusioned.

She woke up one day only to find herself in tears. "People are terrible,and bad things happen all the time", her mother had warned her on many occasions.She  never really thought there would come a day when she would be experiencing it herself.

We as humans,have an innate tendency of clinging onto  things or people that do us no good .We find it so difficult to think beyond them.Our mind is always pre-occupied with thoughts that are redundant ,thoughts which have no purpose,but still find a way of creeping into our brains,giving us sleepless nights.

People around  are always going to be insecure,insensitive and obscure.They will do literally anything (and when I say ANYTHING,I really mean it )to make you feel inferior and unworthy.There are times where you might feel exceptionally lonely,lost in thought and living in a world of your own,oblivious to your surroundings and everything in it.Trust me,that's normal.Do you feel like you don't fit in with the rest of  "them"? It's alright,great people never do.You might have committed some serious mistakes while judging people or while making friends,but that's fine as long as you have the courage to rectify and realize your fault.Somehow there is always a facade,a superficial veil that hangs around  a person which gives you a completely different impression about them.In reality however,they turn out to be the complete opposite and  probably even the biggest hypocrites.

Attachment kills,because change is so constant.As pessimistic as I may sound,these people will never change.The best possible solution is to move on ,letting go of all the memories.
