though words are always in the context of how we perceive them and the situation they represent; though i have never believed in the literal and obvious meaning of certain words, but a lack of spirit to explain any other way, i am choosing to write using the usually deciphered meaning of these words.
like 'goodness' - what does one do with the goodness in one's self in a world which seems crumbling. of course live and let live, but what happens when dirt and shit is thrown at you by the scheming horrid people? give it back, nah, that never helps really. avoid it? build a wall around yourself?
like 'heart' - what do you do when you are all heart. now the heart here doesn't mean mush. it means heart in the spirited way. when no matter what negativity hits, you do not find yourself becoming bitter, not beyond a few hours. no matter how hard you deny and no matter all the cynicism, you just can feel it. feel that you're all heart... somehow still you are
like 'hope' - i am totally quiet on this one here.
like 'reality' - why doesn't the world embrace it? why do they all keep running and escaping and leave all the webs everywhere. for others to stumble upon..
like 'decency' - where has it disappeared? OK its not there in the actions, or the meaning. but at least somewhere in the heart, in a fleeting glimpse? No, its just nowhere to be found..
like 'believability' - where do i even begin on this one..

well yeah, some words are meaningful just in dictionaries...in real life, their meaning and significance just disappears.
it's a challenge to be yourself, be good, be patient, be decent with the kind and quality of people around and the amount of shit they throw.
building a wall around yourself is the best escape in this big bad world.
No! not building a wall...that's dumb. Sorry for the use of word "dumb".
Have you never encountered people who build such emotional walls around them? And have you not felt the helplessness against them?
Well so the point is, it's hard to know when to build such emotional walls. Even a thought at the back of your mind that you can build an emotional wall (ofcourse when you feel threatened in some form) can make you numb in an interaction. i.e. Make you less loving in short. Is this what you want to do with your own self?
I am at my best when I totally forget about my existence in relation to others. That way I can be bindaas and yet be caring and loving.
Very nice post indeed Geetika!
