Reflection - not despair

The evening was good. When I went out to meet my friend..he shared with me a story which he read through a suicide note of a girl. There was no major sacrifice, no huge motivation from the story but.. it put my friend to a thought "What could have happened if there was one person who could have stopped the girl from suicide"

The truth about human beings is that we think a lot for those who are dead by body, for those who are not around us..for those who really have vanished into the spaces of time..but we fail to think 1/10th of that about the ones who are with us. We fail to realize that every one of the thousands of people around us have a unique story..be it a sweeper, a prostitute, a widow, an employee..Any one. Human life starts with a story ends with a story but the life is a cobweb of so many such stories which remain unspoken.

When Newton had a question "Why does the apple fall down?" people just said "How foolish is he!?", When Ambedkar fought against the ill treatment of people, the society said " He is a rebel", When Romeo and Juliet were in love, their families fought for reputation. Fiction or reality, humans have always unable to respect the lives in front of them its only after the demise of their physical body, they build memorials for them, they talk good about them..they name children after the ones who achieved the higher being. Is it all we can do?

One of my friends when heavily drunk asked me a question " Being a Human..why do we f**k a human's happiness?" He was a very different person after he had no spirit in his body that's a different question. Isn't that true ? Why do we humans turn stoned? We live running behind some thing or the other..for happiness..for money..for love what ever..end of the day.. we perish the way a tree does..the way a flower falls..we all know at the bottom of our heart that we are not happy...why? perhaps one of the following reasons:

We are scared to speak truth
We are scared to see truth
We are scared to admit truth

The truth can be in any form..a job..a relation a thought..or some times as shapeless as wind.That's perhaps the way of life..Struggle for existence and survival of the fittest rules still apply....

A careful observation tells us that human life oscillates between nine different emotions
Love
Anger
Greed
Lust
Loathe
Happiness
Mischief
Peace
and Devotion

I guess I quoted some wrong. The point is the value of life is beyond Tangibility.Its what you can sense..through your heart..but in this world we are so scared to speak our heart out?..We cant appreciate some one because we are scared we will be proven lesser than them..we cant tell some one that what they are doing is wrong.because..we are scared that they might rebel against us..We are scared to try new things..
looks like we are so concerned and worried about ourselves that

The truth is we are so scared of ourselves..some where in the heart..you are scared to admit the same

How long do we have to live the life in such closets...whats the way out?
