So, my fellow “bloggers” have proved be lethargic good for nothings and it looks like typing their introductory blogs is too strenuous for their delicate fingers (no Naman not you) I’ve been waiting to put up this blog and I just realized Naman Kumar has already put up two so yeah, here it is- All of us, literally all of us, at some point or the other have felt like giving up on life..have felt that no matter how hard you try it’ll be no good, but life is the only game that can be altered by the player. Okay so guys one small question-“There are two wolves, one is darkness and despair, and one, one is light and hope, which one wins?” So obviously those of you guys who have seen Disney’s Tomorrowland are already familiar with the answer but for those of you who haven’t, here’s the answer- The one you feed. The movie was a sci-fi but none of that part got my attention, I spent the entire movie pondering over those 4 words which had a meaning so deep that Mariana Trench would be jealous. And one day, when one of my good friends was going through that phase when he about to give up all hope, that’s the question I asked him. When I told him the answer, he asked me “But, how do you feed the right wolf?” That got me thinking, how indeed do you feed the wolf? I had no answer at that point. But after brainstorming for hours it hit me, optimism! That’s it! All you need is a piece of meat called OPTIMISM! You just need to believe that it will win, that’s how you feed it. And as my train of thought went on, I thought, won’t the other wolf want to be fed, won’t it come in my way and try to grab the food. In that case I will have to fight darkness and despair to fend it off. So, in life light and hope never comes without a bit of darkness and despair, that’s the harsh reality we have to accept AND use to our advantage. And if in the process you get some bruises, cuts and scratches, just apply the bandages. Now what plays the role of bandages in our story? Actually, its a who, our very own well wishers, our friends and family. When you have the slab of optimism, your friends and family to heal your wounds and the courage to stand up to the wolf all you need to do is never give up, and before you know it light and hope is gonna become your new pet! It has rightly been said, life is indeed what you make of it.
