When it hurts...




There are times, though very rare and in between, where the hurts catches a hold of you, and you're keenly reminded of the adage - you can run, but you can't hide - pain pierces your heart and you double up with a hard heavy burden on your chest, you can hardly breathe, and a sinking horrifying realization suddenly unveils itself and creeps up like flood waters rising slowly and steadily.


What can I do in the face of a reality so stark and barren, when all around me is the silence of a desert, when life itself is wondering at it's own tenacity, at being able to stand up the constant onslaughts! Life, I am constantly told isn't fair, that is heard, loud and clear, but life would maul you at every given chance is quite another thing altogether. Why does what happens happen? Why do some people are picked out for a challenging lot? Why do some people hurt others and simply don't feel a thing? What is the reason if any for all this?
