Reflections of the Unknown


I ask you all a question ... Do you know who you really are, other than what you were told, and what you were made to believe ?
We all have many a tormented past, which continues to influence us throughout our lifetime. Look at our faces , severely traumatized; tormented by fragments of past or present. Don’t most of us look the same then? We go through our day to day activities like the hands a clock. Ticking away. Many, not knowing the value of each tick. That’s how most of us work. Mechanically,not knowing for what for whom and why.. Our lives too are consumed by what we do for a living. Sometimes even without a free hour to pamper our desires. Most of us wear various ‘masks’ as we go through the journey called LIFE. We lose ourselves somewhere in the process. Scary: we don’t even realise it happens to us.
We spend hours together learning the science of the world yet we don’t exactly know a lot about us as much as we wished we knew. We are ‘masked’ now and have started to like the comfort zone.
We all go through the same process : hesitant to do the unthinkable; wondering, pondering, nervous and on pressure we hesitantly stagger forward. We kill the voice within ourselves and the reflection we see in the mirror is no longer ours.
Finally, when damaged by our own actions and thoughts, after our lives have taken its toll on others and us, the luckier among us get this very same attack of conscience. The stranger in the mirror looks at us and gives an evil grin.
Some survive to LIVE again another day…
