There are only two types of diseases, at least this is what I strongly believe:
Essentially, there is physical disease which we all are aware of, but on the other side of the grass is the most dangerous disease which we all are afraid to talk about. In this country it’s considered to be a taboo if anyone is suffering from this disease. It is this disease which will turn your gray and white matter into the darkest color available and it is this darkness within you which will often tempt you to opt for the incorrect paths. And eventually you end up satisfying your tempt because of the hopeless streetlights who do not guide you appropriately, when you need them to do it the most.
You seem to be lost…. Lost in your own world…. Cursing everything….Lamenting….Isolating yourself and your adoring smile.
This darkness within your body makes you go blind and gradually starts appearing under your bulging eyes which is inevitable because of your disturbed nights. I haven’t personally experienced this dreadful disease but I have seen my peers suffering from it. They feared to come up. They feared to spill out their fear. They feared the so called ‘society’ and ‘log kya kahenge?’ Bhaad mein gai log, people will never ever stop discouraging you, trust me on this.
If you still did not understand about which disease am I talking, continue reading.
This disease is no joke, hundreds of sapiens take their own lives without giving a second thought about their parents, who will always be on your side, no matter what. Yes, they will admonish if you choose a wrong direction, but they do this to save their offspring. And remember, if your peers are making fun of you, don’t let this hurt you. Seek help from your parents or a therapist. I repeat my words: “SEEK HELP FROM YOUR PARENTS OR A THERAPIST”. They will never let you down, instead they will make you bloom into a flower and show you a new perspective to life.
To further break it down: relate this ‘disease’ to a helpless seed, which has lost its partner cum guide-wind/water, who has a duty of landing the seed on a suitable and fertile runway. But now, it’s lost. All alone. Stranded on some rocky surface. In search of WARMTH, SUNSHINE, BREATHING SPACE and WATER-to quench its thirst and retrieve back the power TO GERMINATE, TO GROW,TO BLOOM.
After reading this, whosoever comes to your mind first, please help them, they need you. And if the first person that comes to your mind is you, yourself, then DO NOT HESITATE TO TALK TO YOUR CLOSE ONES.
Was this convincing enough to understand the depth of “the 10 letter word”?
