Looking at a perspective

Never in the longest time have I felt like I have lacked something in life until there was a personal loss. Materialistic things buys you comfort not happiness. The whole concept of running after money never made any sense to me. Improving our quality of life is important but letting go of our standards, morals and worth seems wrong from all perspectives and not just from mine.

The first hint of grief came when I lost my grandfather. A learned person, academically well established, intellectual, religious man but I knew him as a kind, loving and nurturing grandparent who did not hesitate to take care of the smallest things to make you feel like you are on top of the world. Do not know how or in what way I could ever even think of repaying back all those sweet gestures with the most pure intentions.

I look around me and find people putting a price on everything they can lay their eyes on. Fancy shoes, bags, expensive meals and unfortunately on people too. Nowadays you can even buy a person as a toy to show off. When they said do you feel a generation gap with your own generation they probably must have considered a few hopeless romantics like me.

Never felt like I lack anything unless I lost a few loved ones. Readers, I wish when you get the opportunity to be someone’s rock solid partner or a best friend, you won’t just look at them as a source of your investment. When life will give you this chance, grab with both hands and hold on to them for life. A greater disappointment than regret is to never fully understand the meaning of a good life.
