The Fourth Dimension

Here …you come on this earth, so so tiny.    

What’s up in that small mind—who knows-- previous life? Blank? We really don’t know although we have all passed through the same phase.

The “tininess” slowly fades…
thoughts change, things become too clear to be confusing or rather too confusing to be clear.
So……..that new life is now adjusted to the “human atmosphere.”

In the childhood it’s just the friends, playing, sleeping, eating and sometimes getting scolding and thrashed up for small things, crying but happiness is still there. No tension, no pressure, many helpful hands—parents.
Still there are the deprived few I would right now skip talking about because this is not what I want to talk over here—things are already too melancholic to think about it and let’s just stick on considering the normal life.

So……slowly the childhood also disappears, fades, gets stored in that bank of memories. Those friends are now old and you have the new ones, or maybe the old ones are still there…
Priorities change but those helping hands are still there.

You just grow up. Amazing! Right?

I don’t think one ever thinks that way. It’s just so normal.

But ever wondered why only it’s so specific and not something else?

Well you shouldn’t even do so coz memories and past can never ever bring you happiness even though it was the best ever time of your mortal life—you miss it so much!

Slowly but steadily surroundings, thinking, perception, the ones you loved….every thing just changes.
You change your school, college, workplace, home and then what happens of those old best friends with whom you had once promised all of your life?
Slowly you stop talking to them—just because—out of sight out of mind.

Well that’s not your fault—it’s so natural.

Right?

Someday, you suddenly remember them and all those people who had once been so very important but now there’s just nothing left except those tears and broken promises.
You just keep on moving in life, walking towards your own end leaving those so very important people behind.

You might say “no I have an aim.”

What aim??
That you’ll one day become the president or the richest person but again I would like to ask….what after that?

You still can’t take things with you although on this mortal earth you were the most powerful but you weren’t even able to own the things you owned. What an irony.

There might be that one person you fall in love with who you really, really want to be with you forever. And forever is not just this so short life, but eternity.

But…………does this really happen?

Even in the most perfect of cases, death can’t be defeated and there’s one of you still left behind. 

What’s eternity when you couldn’t even stay together in the mortal world? And those helping hands always there for you….you leave them…and then what??

Blank? Darkness??

You just end up losing everything even though you had the most perfect of life.

And you still weren't able to alter the fourth dimension. Most powerful person are you eh?

NUMB

Humanity seems to be disappearing at a great pace. A person is appreciated when he fights, calling it "competitive spirit" and not when he works for a good cause. At that moment people say he's wasting time. 

             And oh! This reminds me this notorious phrase "people say." Why do we always have to do how, what, when "people say!!" Why is it for the society and not for ourselves. And what's the result?
Well neither gives satisfaction. You follow your dream and you end up making people around you unhappy; you follow their dream, you are unhappy! Stuck in this maze forever and ever.....
             I sometimes wonder, the person who sings and composes the song, the one who writes a beautiful piece of poetry; why isn't his actual feelings as beautiful as what he has composed. This was not something which has prevailed since ages, but it is now, feelings are dying as we are "advancing." Huh! Irony isn't it? We call this advancement.
            Whats the point!? You can build machines and put life into them without even realising that you yourself don't possess one. 
            Now-a-days, who even tells their younger generation that they should grow up to be a humble and a good human being and most important, stay happy with what they have. It makes me laugh, money is much more important than a damn life.
           We all talk about how insensitive people have become but when it's our turn to save a person dying by the roadside, we prefer standing there and watching rather than helping him out. And then we call ourselves rational too, 21st century genius.
           There are people who won't even come to know there's a person dead next door because they don't even know who their neighbour had been. So busy are we? Is that dead compassion?
           With each such step humanity literally dies. Each such deed strangles the feeling of humility.
We hold the evil high above us and then keep on wondering what kind of deplorable state have we come to.
