On the wrong side


Every morning before I begin reading my newspaper, I have a habit of going through the comic strips first. They laugh me every time I read it. The same thing, happened today. Take a look at this picture below.


When I first saw it, I laughed. Every time I see it, it makes me laugh. The situation described here is perfectly natural thing. We all, at every point of life, must have faced the very same question. "what am I doing here?" or "why am I doing it?" or my personal favorite "Why is this happening to me?"

WE make our own life. We do actions, which define our course of life. And even then, in spite of us shaping our lives, at one point of time (be it today, tomorrow or moment from past) we ask to over selves, "What am I doing?". If we were the ones to shape our lives, then why are we asking ourselves about it?

The answer is very simple. When we do actions knowingly or unknowingly, we are setting up the direction of our life. However, we never thought through it. We might have believed we did, but it is not the case. So when the life starts moving ahead in our pre-decided or decided course due to our actions, we tend to believe that this is how it should be. But, after a certain point of time, WE; ourselves, start thinking about as to why is all this happening? This is something we have never figured it out. Or it is something which we have never expected to be. We get this feeling not in beginning when we started the journey, but it happens somewhere down the line. The feeling as to why the life for us is not working out the way it should be.

When we do actions, we leave a part of it to faith. We believe whatever we did, will pay off. That part... the part which we left out, plays an important role in our life's journey. And all that happened in our life due to that faith which we left out, is the one now bothering us. The answers to all the questions we ask to ourselves, lies in that part.

So, take a moment over here to think about it.........

and enjoy the comic strip with a laugh.
