Darkness in life

Dr Ranbir Laishram *

In this irreversible journey of life,
From the cradle to the grave,
Every human experiences desperate moments,
Which often shake the core of existence,
Darkness looming like a stuffy veil,
Without a straw to clutch,
Without a beacon,
At the end of the tunnel.
Moments of despair and Hardships are,
But gifts from life itself,
For it is these darkest moments,
That preaches the true
meaning of life.
Being human is to experience life,
In it's fullest and purest form.
Wins and losses,
Health and sickness...
Every setback is a test from life,
For it helps us to discover the power within,
To kindle that tiny spark,
To search for the light,
To delve deeper into ourselves,
And find the treasure within us.
Overcoming such obstacles and tragedies,
We are reborn stronger and wiser.
In the journey of life,
We may encounter many defeats.
But we should not let
Our defeats continue to defeat us,
For it helps us to know who we are,
Where we stand at times of adversity,
What we can rise from and
How we can still come but of it.
What humans need to know;
It is only through darkness that light comes,
Through fear comes courage,
Jubilation comes only through pain,
Strength and victory of every human.
It is in everyone's inner soul.
We can reincarnate to whom we choose to be.
Life never sets situations, That are beyond our ability to handle.
How we approach an eventuality determines our des¬tiny.
Whoever we are, wherever we are,
Whatever darkness we face in life,
We must seek that light within.
And this will enable us to move gracefully
Onwards in our life's journey.
