Clearing the clouds

Many people might have come across this fact; this is also a personal account.

A confounded mind is the worst enemy. It makes you wanna do things of a nature that Joker would love to see Batman do.

It starts with a vile thought and soon a forest fire attracts your attention. Like a naive villager, you would either try dousing the fire by throwing minute quantities of water on it,pail after pail, or you turn atheist and start blaming God for causing wrath.

Either which way, the fire continues to damage things around you.

The only way here to save lives, ( or maybe just a life) is to control your impulsive feelings and gather all your thoughts. This is the stage where success follows abandonment of fear. And abandonment of fear is the bravest yet what would seem as - next to impossible - thing to do.

Fear might constitute several things - the feeling of not being able to make it through, the feeling of lack taking the initiative, the feeling of fatal selfishness; it could be anything that burns the bridges between you and the solution.

Your efforts eventually pay off, maybe a minute later or a day later or a year later. However, the conclusion sure does seem to transform you into a different person altogether.

Sometimes, clouds with silver linings are better than clear skies.
