💔 Ah, This Brief Life!
Ah, this brief life! So many wishes and attainments, so many accounts of giving and receiving left unsettled! (Ha-ha). Relationships today are in disarray, burdened by a mountain of complaints and grievances.
A relationship! Is it merely a word? It is an epic! The family is the very foundation of that epic—parents, children, siblings, husband and wife—all bound by an invisible thread. This bond is like nature's cycle of seasons.The Seasons of Relationships Cannot Be Avoided
A relationship is much like nature's seasons; it neither comes nor goes according to your will.
Imagine it's the monsoon. Will you be able to avoid this season no matter how hard you try? Will the 'musty scent' of the damp earth not evoke some feeling in your mind?
Even if you wrap yourself in winter clothes, will you not feel the sweet ambiance of a foggy morning? Will the chirping of birds in the pleasant environment not reach your ears? Can you ever be free from its influence, even by closing your ears?
Will the sudden intense sun of summer not scorch you? Can you escape and survive that burning heat?
Similarly, you may not like everything about your family. You might feel annoyance towards members, and even wish to distance yourself, but no matter how much you try to avoid them, you cannot. Like every season, they will deeply influence your mind and spirit.
Then comes Spring—the season of love. It takes time to arrive, but it comes once a year and suddenly leaves. Yet, in the life of a family, it seems years upon years pass for 'the happiness in the form of Spring' to arrive. When will that longed-for Spring finally come, the one for which there is so much anticipation?
I've heard that the result of long-term weather change is climate change. So, will the 'climate of our lives' change so much due to this delayed arrival that Spring might not come at all?
In this short life, amidst unbearable physical and mental agony, I have laughed seeing a tiny dewdrop while waiting for Spring. I've lost everything while dreaming of feeling that Spring. So much sacrifice, just for one Spring. But halfway through, I see that I have nothing left to lose! So, will I disappear by the time Spring arrives?
Life is like a spider's web.How much effort a spider puts into weaving its web—dreaming of a new home, a family, and a future. How expertly it weaves, giving its all, anticipating that day. But who knows what danger is lurking, what dark night is approaching, what sudden gust of wind will tear everything apart?
Today, the web I wove has been suddenly torn apart by a storm. In this cruel game of dreams and reality, only emptiness remains.
RakiB.
