I came back from a party and my friend informed me that one of our ex-colleague had committed suicide. The name rang a bell, but I couldn’t recollect the face. People say that she had everything, a wonderful career, and the looks and by her general temperament, she had the best stuff going for her. That is what, we saw and thought.
I have friends who swear that money is everything. I have friends who would do anything to put themselves up on television, colleagues who go on harping about how important it is to have contacts and be popular. I don’t underestimate the power of money, nor of influence, but how do you explain the sudden suicide of a girl who had “Everything”. The reason, most people say is seemingly simple and a bit unusual too. She committed suicide, because she was lonely. If we look around our lives we will find there are “So Many” people around us, so actually speaking we aren’t really lonely. The same was true with her. She had lots of people around her, but how many of those could she open her heart to, bare her soul to. For that matter, how many people can we bare our souls to? How many people can we talk to and feel a million times richer than the richest man on earth?
I don’t know her well, but somehow her death teaches me many lessons. The more horrific the situation, the bigger the lesson.
That we need to hold on to our loved ones real tight and invest in deeper relationships. That we need to stop looking for life outside us and look for joy within us, that we need to live our best life, by building our ties and not finding ways to break them. That we need to find happiness in simple things…That’s essence of life!!!
May her soul rest in peace!
Priyanka!

ReplyDeleteSo true! You love you parents, siblings, boyfriend, husband, children. But how do you make sure that they are there to see that smile on your face, to make you feel happy on a daily basis? As a matter of fact, everything in the external world that we seek happiness from seems to be one of the strongest reasons for giving rise to insecurity.
