The Real End

Everything ends bad… otherwise it would not end.
A theory many may believe in and many may not. A lost lover or a betrayed one may feel that this is one of the truest sentences while an optimistic guy would not accept this phrase at all. Whether its true or not is not for me to decide but there is one thing for sure without any doubt… that there always is an end – a happy or sad, good or bad is for us to make up.
In this journey of life, we pass through many experiences, take up many ventures, have various experiences and they all come to an end some day. Even all the relations that we have in this world finish when we die. Whether you did a good or a bad job on it is on you to decide. The point we are discussing is the relations we have in our lives; some which end before we desire.
The lost lovers or the betrayed one or the let down ones would always say that we did as much as we could to get the person, what was it that I didn’t do? But the answer here is simple – it was not meant to be. Most relations end with people fighting and shouting over one another and that probably remain the last signs of your time together, but is it worth it? The fact that the end of a relation does not end your life and maybe you have to face that person somewhere down the line cannot be a burden you want to have yourself with. All you have to do first is to accept that it is over and move on. This life is to small for us to stop at a moment… if you don’t look around you might just miss something.
A Hindi song by Pakistani singer Atif Aslam ends in this manner “….. ab agar tum mile toh, itna yakeen hai, has denge hum toh, rona nahi hai” (Now if we ever meet again, am sure about the fact that I will not cry… but smile through)
This also needs to be the end of our stories. Yes there would have been fights, yes there would have been differences and something may never leave you for the rest of your lives but if we never let it go it can do nothing but harm us. The reality of life is that it always gives you an opportunity to make up at least with people and we must take it as soon as we can or you never know you may not get that opportunity later and may have to regret it some day. If we try to make things normal from one end, if we are good from our side it is difficult to get a continuous onslaught from the other side.
We may not always get the desired end, the desired result, the ultimate price but then who said you will always get one. Everyone says that I did all I can to get it whether it be a work or a relation but the question is didn’t the other person also do enough to deserve it. We, always like the famous fable, try to make the grapes sour when unable to achieve the goal but the fact is that some things are just not meant to be and if you keep it within yourself forever and never face the reality it can do nothing but make you unhappy.

Once you accept the fact, once you let the pain pass through and accept the fact that the person is gone and remember the old times, it would only make you remember the good ones because that is what it was all about. Everything and everyone in our life is a learning experience and we have to keep learning the lesson whether good or bad. Remember never regret a thing that once made you smile. Its worth it!!
Forgive, forget and move on… only thing it could affect is your attitude… it makes you light and happy!!
