Prejudices

The truth about life is that it isn’t fair. No matter how much you cry or beat your chest about it, karma isn’t going to come to you in person and hand you your rewards. There will be an ample amount of unfair difficulties in your life, but the only way to cross them is to accept the injustice of it. It’s the only way to get past it. Once you realise and respect the fact that it is not something you can control, and that it will continue to exist no matter how much you wreck your brain over whether you deserve this treatment from life or not, things will get easier.

Often, you end up giving all that you have within yourself to the wrong things and people. And when the time comes, and you are faced with the unfortunate reality of heartbreak and betrayal, the real problem does not lie with forgiving those who deceived you in the first place, but with forgiving yourself, for being naive enough to invest in something that is now the reason your world is falling apart. 

It becomes unbearable, to see them succeed without you. To see them happily go about their daily lives knowing that they do not give two fucks about where you are or how you are doing. At some point in your life, you were everything to each other. But that quickly changed, because they changed. And unfortunately for you, you valued them a lot more than they valued you. And hence they moved on, much much faster than you ever will. Maybe they did care, but only for a moment, before they realised that they didn’t have any such intense feelings to begin with, and therefore must concentrate on other more important things. And you will probably curse yourself for a long time, blame yourself even, all the while blaming them too. But it is not going to get you anywhere. It will result in a vicious cycle wherein you lose your self respect, and all they want to do is get rid of you and your negativity.

This is life. You know you did nothing wrong. In fact, YOU were WRONGED. It was not your fault, yet you are the one here suffering. But your perpetrators will probably never get a punishment. In fact, you might never get your closure either. But then again, that is life. You must move forward, you must learn to live with it. Anger takes away a lot from a person, but it is not necessary for you to forgive them. Just take this as a stepping stone to a stairway that takes you further and higher from those who hurt you. 

Sometimes when life plays a prejudiced hand, see it as a blessing that pushes you into a new avenue, far far away from your past. A step that you probably would never have taken otherwise.
