HAPPINESS AND SADNESS
Sometimes
you wonder as to why do people have to face so much in life, especially those
who are good. Hatred is a word tha doesn’t exist in some people’s dictionary.
They love and try their best to be the best ambassadors of love and peace. Yet
life plays spoilsport in their attempt to be the loving and caring person.
These are the kind of people who are the most compromising in order to see
peace in their surroundings they live in and in the end they are the ones who
suffer the most. They are the ones who are thought as the happiest kinds on the
Earth but in reality they are the saddest kind because the world is still not
ready to accept them. They are sad because they cant share their sorrows with
others. And they are the ones who need to share their sorrows with others the
most. They are the ones who are the loneliest kind.
The world
sees them as the jolly and always happy and gay kind of but reality is not what
the eyes see. Truth is not what the heart sees. Sometimes it is what remains
unseen by our eyes.
There is
this guy in my hostel, Paul. He is the most jovial person you would meet in
your life. Kind-hearted, compromising, sweet, helpful, understanding are just
some of the traits that meet the eyes and make him a great friend. But it is
only when you get closer to him that you start feeling sorry for him. You
realize the sorrow that feeds on him and the tears that he sheds secretly on
nights make you feel bad and in a way guilty as you feel helpless and cant do
anything for him.
He is
surrounded by people who don’t value him. The person he considers his best
friend cannot see him succeed. Jason, Paul’s best friend is envious to him
because Jason coudnt achieve what Paul achieved without putting in much
efforts. I do remember an instance in which Paul was selected to be part of
something big, a competition at national level and Jason managed to brainwash
paul into not going to the competition.
Jason even beats Paul at times and Paul doesn’t react much because he
doesn’t wants his friendship whit Jason to end.
Paul’s both
roommates are the exact kind of people I would not want in my room. This is
really interesting. Whatever comes in their room as snacks or maybe paranthas
or many things like the loud speakers were all bought by paul and not even a
single cent was contributed by his roommates. Moreover there are various other
things too.. like the kettle. He bought a kettle for his own use. But it is
used by his roommates more. Also there is a lot of tension brewing in their
room. But Paul, never says a word because he doesn’t wants the peace of the
room to be disturbed.
I feel
really sorry for him and just hope that one day he realizes that he is ot
vulnerable and learns to fight for himself.
