Under the tree

A girl sitting alone

She was sitting under the tree and seeing the people passing by. It was very busy, crowded with all kind of people. And that's what is expected from the most popular park of the most popular city in the world. Families making the best of their memories, couples enjoying their lives, skaters skating on the road, kids running around and then there was a girls sitting alone under an abandoned tree with thousands of wishes hidden in her heart and many more growing up seeing those people in the park.

A wish rekindled to have her family there with her so that she won't be sitting there alone, a wish to be that kid; carefree of the world and a wish to have a magical skateboard to skate out of this world full of worries to a new magical word. A new world filled with your loved ones, a world where there is no concept of distance and a world where you all can live together. While drowned deep in that thoughts she heard a cry of a child and then of a mom. That cry and that rushing and worried mon was enough to take her out of her thoughts and to the reality of this world.

She immediately thought of those who don't have that mom, who don't have dad, who don't have family, who have no one to be worried. This all seemed so unjust to see on one side their is this kid having the luxury of a mom and then there are other kids who are living on their own with no parents. But have you ever thought about that, why this kid had a mom and some others don't. There is a reason behind everything because, God cannot be unjust.

This is exactly why they say that every blessing is a test and every difficulty is a blessing. Because the ones who are given something are supposed to take care of those who lack that, that's how we keep humanity alive. But man is a very strange being, we don't like to share yet we like to have more and more. Would you ever like to share your mom?

Then she saw two girls trying to ride the cycle. Yes trying is the best word to describe because they couldn't even sit comfortably on those cycles yet they were trying. Maybe, it the try that matters, or maybe its the courage. They tried for over an hour, yet they couldn't even ride continuously for more than a minute but they were happy. So she thought about what is it that made them feel content? It's the wisdom, a wisdom that they tried and that's all they could do, no one can do better than that.

With all the people around enjoying the life with their loved ones, she suddenly started feeling herself a stranger in this world, so she decided to get up and have a walk. While walking around, she saw a girl sitting alone under a tree. Seeing her sitting alone, she suddenly felt belonged and decided to observe her. But a few minutes were enough for her to realise that they are not alike. That girl under the tree was happy, was enjoying her life and didn't want to go to a new magical world.

She found this very strange, that girl was alone and even then she was happy, why? She asked to herself and then her inner voice gave her the answer. An answer she already knew but never realised. That happiness is a state of mind, you will never get a perfect time to be happy, even if you get all you wished for still there will be a wish to get more. Happiest people are those who who accept the reality and don't dream of magical world, rather they turn this real world into magical one.

I am sure you also knew this all along, but you also didn't realise it until now like her..... But the earlier you realise, the more time you will have to live a happy life, then you will also not wait for a magical skateboard, or a price charming or some Aladdin to take you out of this world, rather you will make them love this world and stay in this world.

Stay happy and spread happiness, because I know you remember the story above that your blessing is always meant to be shared with others.
