Never will I say Never…
I was angry, more than
I had ever been in my life, my hands were shaking, I heard myself saying things
I wouldn’t normally say. I was out of control. I couldn’t believe this angry
person was me. I must be under some kind of influence but it turns out that the
only influence I was under was anger, extreme anger… and it was my first.
I had never been an
angry person, I just have never been able to stay angry for a long time, but
this was different…and it was a turning point for me.
That day, it struck me
that we can do unimaginable things given the right circumstance and situation.
Now, when anyone asks me what I would do in a situation, I have learnt to say I
didn’t know. How could I? I wasn’t in that
circumstance they described and description is definitely different from living
it. We all probably have done things we have questioned afterwards; things we
didn’t know we were capable of doing, things we had once told someone that we
would never do.
It was a good day of
lessons. Life was uncertain; it is as unpredictable as human. We all can do
things we never thought we could.
Just look at that woman
who told us she would simply walk out if she ever catches her husband cheating.
She was the same woman that shot her husband in the head. Oh! Remember the girl?
The one who said she will only have sex with her husband? She is the same
pregnant lady that walked past the house yesterday, and No she is unmarried.
We are human, we are
fickle, never say Never, just pray and hope you never have to wear the shoes
those who had done unthinkable things once wore.
"We are human, we are fickle, never say Never, just pray and hope you never have to wear the shoes those who had done unthinkable things once wore". Somtyms an expression of anger tho unusual, speaks a lot about the war going on within us. Our words, our actions, our inactions, our perspective just becomes a flash in the dark when that unimaginable, the unexpected happens.

ReplyDelete“Human, All too Human” is the title of a book that was written by the German thinker, Friedrich Nietzsche. That book’s title, and contents, best describes your submission in the short write-up, above.
ReplyDeleteI like, especially, the part where you said “we are human, we are fickle, never say Never, just pray and hope you never have to wear the shoes those who had done unthinkable things once wore.” That’s my quotable quote for today!
VERY APT!!!
