Hurt

Occurrence of repeated hurt on a soul takes its toll in one way or the other. A heart, broken, results into a heart unable to love. It has been said that no one dies because of being emotionally hurt but it does create a little less love in this world. One less loving creature. The reasons are many- betrayal, money, power, physical needs prevailing over the emotional ones and so on. But all this shattering and patchwork turns a soul, pure and giving, into just another collected mass of air that survives the harsh ways of the world with a harsher attitude. These are all part and parcel of life, one may say. I question them-why our present is an audience to the deep, unhealable scars marked on every second psyche around us. Hatred is slowly turning into essence of one’s day. Hatred for estranged lover because of a ruthless betrayal, hatred for unjust administration. Hatred for the police man who smells of alcohol on duty telling a girl to get lost to her home or she will suffer. I hate him or her, is turning into the most spoken verse in our day to day life. Hurt is filling all corners and is coming from all directions.

People falling under the category of my above words are not merely limited to the ones who have been in love or have been mistreated by their loved ones. Even the maids who work at our homes being told by their employers to get lost from work for taking a sick leave falls under the above group of people, who have been hurt and are now on their quest to get back at the world for being rude and harsh to them. What I mean to convey here is that the empire of hurt includes everything that makes a heart ache, that disturbs a person’s conscience, that makes a flower seller throw stones at everyone passing by.

Someone may be hurt by your care and love. Some may hurt because you ask them to eat, sleep in time. They don't understand your care or love or whatever, they feel you are making them realize that you don't know how to manage time, you don't care of yourself, you need me to care of you. Definition of love, care is different for everyone. Some thinks saying "I love You" many times in a day is love. Some thinks chatting or talking so much time is love. Some thinks spending time with someone is love. Some thinks making someone happy is love. Some thinks caring one is love. Some thinks understanding is love. I don't want to say that they are wrong or other side. I may not know the exact definition of love. But I can not sleep if I feel I hurt someone. I cannot eat if I make someone cry. I cannot drink a cup of water if I feel she is working hard in doing her assignments. I just want to say that all may have different ways of showing care or love. I respect their love/care in all the style. I just want to say that if you are really in love with someone, you will definitely make your loved ones happy and will respect of their style of love/care also.

I ask you to someday pause one your walk through a crowded place and listen to the sounds all around you and search through them for that one sound that conveys to you if something good is happening. You’ll rarely find one. The world around us has really turned into a fish market as my class-six teacher referred to us, students, making crazy noises. So, a little more compassion won’t cost our pockets an extra penny, nor will it take away a single second from our life time. Don’t go around hugging everyone. A single thank you with a smile to anyone you come across will do. All you need is to modulate your tone to a softer level. A little less hurt in this world will surely mean something to someone. :)
