The moment when reality dawns and the illusions wither away....

Since the last couple of days I have been wanting to write about this particular thought that has been on my mind, however was not able to express it in words. The thought that I want to talk about is one which is common amongst all of us, the fear of that moment when reality dawns upon us and the illusions we live in wither away.

Let me try to explain it with the help of the a most common scenes from our films, the first one being where the guy in love dreads the moment when the girl of his dream will reply to his proposal. The second one where a girl forced into an anti-social profession fears the moment when she comes face to face with her family after years of separation.

It’s these similar feelings of anxiety, the fear of the unknown that occupy most of our thoughts and pose a road blocks in our life’s journey. A lot of time is wasted in clearing these blocks and the most amazing fact is that these blocks just don’t stop resurfacing. No matter how hard we try to make these road blocks disappear permanently, we just aren’t able to.

After a long walk on the path of self destruction because of this fear, I concluded that dreading and running away to avoid that moment of fear wouldn’t get me to that zone of peace that I was wishing to be in. The only thing that would get me into that zone would be to live that moment we dread and get an answer to our favorite question “what will happen if?”

Some of you may disagree and say that it wouldn’t be worth an attempt, however on the basis of my personal experience I would say that it does help. Even if the answer to that particular question would not be the one you expected, it does free your mind, your soul and enables you to explore new possibilities…..

So let’s explore the world of new possibilities and declare our freedom by living that moment we dread the most, that moment when reality dawns and the illusions wither away.
