Faces don’t always tell the real story . Looks can be deceptive . You never know what the person is going through?
Am i right? dont you think so ?Let me tell you what i am talking about
So a couple of days ago I went to accompany my friend Tushar (my awesome buddy) for arrangement of marriage materials of his elder brother. We went to different shops and on our way we laughed a bit and everything seemed normal.
But it wasnt the case
little did he know that I was so down and out with myself that all my laughs were tailormade for the situation. It was counterfeit. My smiles were also not genuine. For I didnt want to ruin the occasion because it was my responsibility to help my friend with buying and arrangement of things for the marriage of his elder brother.
The real situation
I was downright broken from inside .For some reasons . The subject area of reason that i knew but why that happened That I dont think I ll ever be able to unearth.And due to that I was a walking empty shell of a man , who looked all happy and fine from out side but inside he was nothing more than a sad, dejected man .
The toughest part of it was I just wasnt able to tell or share that with anyone. Often times we need that help of our family and friends and they help us . But I just couldnt seek their help for I was just so much into the grief that i couldnt see anything beyond that.And that is just way too hard a situation to be in.
So it got me thinking oh Prateek you seem all fine and are laughing to bits. But you are so crestfallen from inside. "Looks can be Deceptive" "Faces can be deceptive" They cant really tell you the real picture. What the person is going through at that very moment is something we would hardly know.
The reason of me being absolutely devastated from inside isn’t a reason many of us haven’t experienced before . It’s a feeling of sheer emptiness. Of getting to terms with a person, slowly going away from your life . Or at least it seems so . A longing to getting to know , to soak in the wisdom they possess , to listen to them while they talk their heart out .and when you get a feeling of all this come crashing down , you are lost in the profundity of darkness.
And when you are no longer in a position to deal with it , you try to figure out all possible reasons why that’s happening. But to your utter dismay you just can’t find a reason . The pain gets deep . So much so that nothing and I mean absolutely nothing can make you feel better for the time being . And you stay in that position of yours ,with mind going back and fourth ,to many thoughts, anguish and crestfallen knowing nothing can be done about it ,you realise slowly how helpless and hapless you truly are .
That incident of me being visibly happy in that moment from outside and sad and downcast to the hilt from the inside , is a learning lesson in itself. When I delve deep into it , I realise nobody could have predicted or said that I was in any state or mood other than happy by looking at me . Just because I tried my best to not look gloomy Infront of my friend and I accompanied him happily for the arrangement of his elder brother’s wedding .
Later on when I went back home and sat alone in the balcony it dawned on me what happened to me and what I felt .And I learnt that we really never know what the other person is going through. Someone may be full of smiles and all happy but inside may be he doesn’t want to share his pain.
And vice versa .
So it’s really better to treat all with kindness because even if it doesn’t alleviate the pain , it won’t exaggerate the pain .
