Suicidal title isn’t it? What do you feel about it? Most certainly this statement is a manifestation of the thousand losses of a ‘born-loser’…Before I get going in my business of expressing views on another weird post, I would certainly want you to ponder over what life means to you! That is the only way we all can connect to something which might seem ‘not worth discussing’…….
It was 14th January at around 8pm and during a heated Group-Discussion class my teacher comes up with this supposedly ‘not-worth-discussing’ topic for a group which incidentally included me. I didn’t know what to speak (which happens in most cases) and I was in a fix! But all I knew was I will definitely take a stand which is not stereotype and that’s how I decided to support the statement but not in a rigid way (rigidity is a strict no-no for GDs).
You can guess how the discussion proceeded! People started saying what life is, how important is it to live and face the challenges (which they said is the most wonderful thing!). They said that the line is a pessimistic one and only a loser will utter such a statement! But amongst this there were some excellent parallels drawn by my friends who talked about the union of science and philosophy through this statement and talked about ‘END PROGRAM’ command of any computer program and it’s significance.
All this while I had I knew that I will be the only one who will like a ‘loser’ support this statement! I took a cue from a friend who talked about time-frame of life and began!
Well the flowers (flora-lovers take note!) many of them live for a day. They blossom and die. Just like that! The best thing about them is definitely the fact that they die in their prime without letting anyone know how it looks a few moments before it’s death!
What about the projects? Isn’t the ending of any project the most wonderful thing?
So isn’t death which redefines the fact that we are after all humans! We all know death is inevitable so why don’t we stand up and say that it is what makes us complete! If you are a believer in life after death you’ll be so happy to be relieved of all this worldly sins and who knows Peter might call your name!
And don’t we all believe that ‘we live in deeds and not in years'
Then there are those painters-you name them- Van Gogh, Da Vinci etc. all got their recognition after death (only because they had no Madhuri Dixit that time to create a M.F. Hussain). And how about our beloved Micheal Jackson ? The moment the man (?) dies Wikipedia crashes, the media goes in a tizzy and why? Definitely not to tell us about his child abuse history but how great he was! Trust me if MJ is reading this he would be winking and agreeing that there couldn’t be a wonderful thing as death simply because he is revered now more than ever!
In the GD the most relevant example I could give was of this nuisance called ‘love’ which happens (‘keeps happening’ for some but not me!). So isn’t ending this the most wonderful thing you can do when you know you can’t sustain it, when you know probably he/she is much better off without you? If you believe that this is actually love and it’s not working, without a shadow of doubt termination will be ‘the most wonderful thing’ (Yah, You might be called names like ‘martyr’! But back yourself!)
End of flashback of 14th January!
But yes I got some reviews from my teacher which I’m sure you’ll find ‘MOST WONDERFUL’. She said apart from all good things (which I’m too modest to mention!), my gestures and the way I spoke I came across as someone who is ‘always right’ and my body language suggested ‘I’m the best’! My friends added words like ‘superiority-complex’ in the friendly banter! All of this was said in good humour!
Friends!, the kind of person I am, I have always encouraged views and reviews regarding me and my behavior. I always like people telling my cons on my face and that’s how I work on improving myself. Sometimes it’s hard but after taking all of this I can assure you nothing has ever been harder for me! And if you want to criticize me you are always welcome!
And that is easily ‘THE MOST WONDERFUL THING’ about my life……….
