Why do we always idiotically presume, when hardship strikes, that this is the worst that could happen to us? And then comes another blow out of the darkness, leaving us stunned and disoriented, yet again. Look, just because you put some effort into today, doesn't mean the universe owes you a reward. Get such thoughts out of your head; they will only lead to disappointment and heartbreak. None of us are special; if you feel so, be assured that it is an illusion. All of us are just dustmotes floating in a vast universe, the scale of which is beyond our comprehension. Look at the larger frame, and you will see that none of today's trifles matter. Nothing matters. Nobody cares. You just summon your strength, learn to accept the highs and lows of this cursed existence, and one day, pfft! disappear forever. That's all there is to it, and there's no easier way of putting it.
Today, I got a chance to behold the changing art scene in my country, on attending a film festival of sorts.Filmmakers seem to be reacting to the noise on and off celluloid, through mostly silent creations.I list a few of my favourites here: A Beast Called Beauty - directed by Aakanksha Chitkara Maybe because I am a woman living at a time when India is renowned for objectification of and heinous crimes against women, this documentary film struck me the most and inspired this post.The film voices the common woes of our sex racked by the rigid concepts of beauty set by the society; a situation only worsened by the marketing techniques of fairness creams and other beauty products.However,the movie ends on a happy note, with the featured females professing to have realised that they have accepted who they are, and are content with themselves.I hope every girl out there does the same.
