Wisdom is a strong component of the truth. It takes wisdom to know that the key to a free conscience is telling the truth and living a truthful life as far as is possible within the abilities of one’s sphere of life. A wise man will stick to the factual as the memory has no problem recalling the truth but a foolish man burdens his brain with a memory overload of having to always remember the exact lie , alibi etc. I always jokingly tell my loved ones that its takes more memory space to remember a lie than to recall the truth.
It is my conviction that most of us have issues. Issues that are painful to even think of, issues that seriously hurt and have gone for long without any serious attempt to address. It is my conviction that the more we delay from closure the further we take ourselves from the goal of progress and happiness. It is not possible to move forward when your feet are tied with barbed wire. You will tumble and fall. The same obtains for many of us – we still bind ourselves in the pride and arrogance of saying we are the wronged ones hence we have a right to play dead!!
In a way I am glad things turned out this way. I stretched my mind to the limit. I moved from the comfort zone , I realized assumptions do not always turn real but topmost I re- affirmed that in life , one must always have an option and failure to do so will result in emotional , amateurish tantrums that devalue one’ s acumen.
Every one of us has that legitimate excuse to justify why we fell short. That excuse that we use to celebrate coming third or even last. That excuse we use to console our failures. That excuse that we use to disguise our foolishness. Every one of us has that excuse. But what worth is it to live in an excuse?
It is my take that decisions have to be made. It takes courage to take a decision but it is very expensive to run away from making a decision. Decisions are like incisions, painful at times but they introduce the antidote of strength and self belief into us. Decisions might be difficult but more complexities await those that cannot be bold enough to stand up, breath in and make a decision.
