For the people who think life is unfair,
I had a teacher who had an immense amount of positivity in her. She always wore a beautiful smile on her face. She loved teaching her students and put in maximum effort to everything she did. Seeing her being so positive, I thought she didn't have much trials in life and I wished I was like her. Was that the reality? No!.
One day, we had a personal conversation with her and we realised how melancholic her life was. She narrated an incident where she was on the verge of losing her life and she talked about the other issues she had to encounter everyday of her life, which was not something we would imagine her having. She hid all the pain with a smile. I still remember asking her jokingly, "Should I write a book based on your life? There sure is a lot of plots". To which she laughed and replied, "You only know two percentage of my life". That one line from her made me think deeply. Her smile must have been a mask to her fears and troubles.
Just like her, every single person on Earth has to encounter millions of problems in their lives which may or may not be expressed openly. Next time, when you are in a situation where you wish you were someone else, you must understand that, that's how everybody's life works, which is just not shown to the world outside their private bubble.
Remember that, you are just another beautiful human being who deserves to smile openly and honestly, facing your fears and trials in life. We use our smile as a mask to shield ourselves against the harsh reality of the world. Use it to make yourself and people around you happy instead of making it a suffocated mask which hides the truth. Behind every smile there is a symbol of courage and hope. A true smile can light up even the darkest paths
Keep smiling genuinely and accept life as it is. :)
Life shows to witness different genres of life and teaches you to evolve. Here's how it has turned happily through the vision of my darling bud.
