Is It So Difficult, Friends?

Life, as we all know, can't always be smooth sailing and perfect. There are days when we are short-tempered, we react overly to small things, we snap at one another, we take the crap until we can't tolerate it any more. The dam of our patience slowly starts overflowing. Then it starts creaking and cracking, until it can not hold it any longer. Finally it bursts with fury, sending raw expression upon raw emotion rushing through the cracked walls, allowing them to flow freely against all the pressures.

When I started writing this post, I really didn't know what to write.  

I just had "n" number of thoughts running across my head and voices echoing in my ears. Voices of some people I got to know in real meaning after having them heard...their stories...their experiences....that changed them for life...that made them what they are today...how the actions of few people around them affected them emotionally that forced their thought processes to change completely.

I'm going through a stage of amazement and all I could wonder about is how easy it can get for people to judge others without knowing their reasons, their life stories. Haven't they ever had a not-so-good time, or a bad time, that might have caused them to behave in a raw manner... just the way they actually feel, without any masks on. Is it so difficult to empathize with them? Are they so different that we can't treat them right? If not, why are they categorized as rude, arrogant, insane, ill-mannered, and so on. . .

As if, we have never committed a mistake, or we have never been impolite to anyone. As if, we are as pure as we expect others to be! 

The lady sitting beside me shared how she was turning into that "exploited lady" more and more with each day passing and then came a stage when she just could not take it anymore. She was being deceived by every second person whom she trusted upon in the run of solving her issues. How she was disrespected, and how she was pushed to the darkness of depression, to a point where she started feeling "pretty darn pathetic".  After a certain span of time, she has started feeling better. But now, people have started seeing her as an arrogant and rude person. Why? Just because now, she is not ready to take anyone's shit. Yeah! Call her psycho, because she would give it back to you. Be ready to handle it, or don't ruin her peace at all.

Similar circumstances and insensitive emotionless "humans"  turned another young girl into a STRONG LADY. . .She is being called lazy and ill-mannered, by the slackers who are always running away from their responsibilities. What they are perfect in is the art of stealing away others' credit for a job well done. How could someone be so mentally sick to sit idle themselves, and harass another individual all day by asking her to finish unjustified amount of work, all alone. 

Why should someone make personal sacrifices for no credit, that too for such people. I can't find a reason. . .genuine enough!

I never understood how all of this hypocrisy, back-bitching, finding happiness in someone's pain, could let a person have a peaceful sleep at night. Why people can't start their day with a positive attitude, not only towards themselves, but towards their fellow companions as well. 

You know, it's only a matter of keeping our thoughts and views CLEAN... dirt-free. 

Let's be compassionate enough to those whose lives have been, or currently are, engulfed by pain, sorrow and loss. Let's take a moment to empathize with them and I think, we all can do that. Let's share smiles and allow them to carry through their difficult times. Let's not be judgmental. Please, I request..!! 

Let's stop stretching things to a point where they break into pieces, to never get repaired again. Let's learn to take things lightly and make it easy for our friends as well to get comfortable with their lives. It should not be that hard for any of us, friends!
