Why do you do some things, even when you know you shouldn’t?
What drives that decision?
The song “Tere hawale” was playing on the TV. I picked up a book. There was a card inside it, some words written all over it which strangely, didn’t make sense. I remember smiling the last time I read this same card
Not this time though. The writing was in English. It missed meaning. Lines were phrased wrong, the doodling mismatched, the emotions vapoured, leaving behind words, dry, cold words
Then I read some emails from some time back, and now all of these questions are running in my mind
Why we intentionally do things which we know isn’t right for us?
Imagine how strong the driving force could be, which makes you do things which aren’t right for you. Things that would take a toll on you, emotionally, or physically, or mentally That makes you put things against you, above you
And yet, we do it. Willingly, excitedly, with a smile, eagerly, passionately
Why?
sab ko mil jaegi manzil, ye zaruri to nahi
zindagi raah-e-safar hai yun hi chalte rehna
tum chiragon ki tarah raah me jalte rehna
har andhere ko ujalon me badalte rehna
