The train of thoughts-4(FOREVER)
Why do we even talk of ‘forever’ when someone eventually has
to leave us?
I read this on someone’s status today and as usual the train
of thoughts started. We all in our lives use the word forever as ‘forever
love’, ‘forever alone’, ‘best friends forever’ etc. and while saying this we visualise
an infinite time, a time which we can’t measure, maybe the time till our last
breathe. We try to paint the perfect picture but one day the forever ends, and
we are left with the bewilderment of thoughts, a huge burden of pain, a
psychological trauma. We think that people leave, they go away, don’t want to
be with us anymore.
Let’s explain this by an example, we all have cell-phones,
rather smart phones, we all have used the cameras to click hundreds of pictures
of ourselves and of the people around. Let’s just say that you are to click a
picture of your friend there’s another friend of yours standing next to her
sipping coffee, but she just wants her solo to be clicked, so what you do? You
put your other friend out of the frame. The friend standing next is not the
picture. Now for another picture you click your friend who was standing next
and not the girl you clicked earlier.
What did happen? To get attention to a particular thing, you
put the rest out of frame. But its frame, that what changes everything. Consider
life a big album of pictures, these pictures are in the form of thoughts, in
the form of things that you see, in the form of emotions, in the form of people
you meet, you be with. When you love someone or like someone, the person is in
your frame, when you find someone else your frame changes, you don’t forget the
person but just crop him/her off the frame. It’s just one example, but there
may be as many examples as there are perceptions to see the thing.
Sometimes I feel maybe, ‘Forever’ is not time, but an
emotion to be felt in the numbered days. So, let’s just try to find a forever
in whatever we have, there might be something worth missing after it goes away.
