Lost.....

I was watching “lost” TV series (an American serial, which won many awards), where a group of strangers get stranded in an island after a plane crash. They don’t know where they are, and they don’t know how long / how many days  it will take for them to be rescued. On top of this, there are issues like water, food and protection from wild beasts etc. . . . They also know before the crash that the plane had lost the contact with the center and so it will be so difficult for the outside world to track them.  The TV series is extremely gripping and thus the story moves on ….


All the while, one thought kept coming to my mind; When are  these guys actually happy? Was it when they got food and water, Well Definitely a big Yes, but that did not make them “Want to live “!.. They still grumbled.. It was just meeting that special someone on the island , making new friends,and the thought of going back to the people they loved which invoked the deep  urge to live and survive on that island .

Be it a lost island or be it in outer space ... Humans are so bounded by the emotions!(Why humans alone !i guess “All” ! ) They need love, care, support and they like to belong to a society and to have friends and to be wanted!!! What kept them going in that long lost island were not just the food and the water and the fact that they were brave; it’s the mere fact that, they all loved one another, found solace in each other. Some of them even met the special someone there and they felt so "wanted". To Love and to be loved is the most essential thing, as important as the food and water and it was just that mere simple fact that "kept them going”


Now in the real world, we don’t stop by  to think  the people whom we "can’t live without"! We just take them for granted. Close your eyes and imagine that all the people u love, your parents, kins.., your spouse, your kids, or friends are just not with u .Shuddering thought rite??? Now imagine the same situation with loads of money, will this make you happy ? Money can or may buy you friends but , genuine friends?, family ? .. Well i guess they are worth than a million gems  !  So at the end of the day, if u have just no one in this world to love, care nor protect  nor people to love and care  u back, it’s the same situation as being stranded on a lost island is it not ?
Respects the people who love u and care for u, and take time, to  show them that you care.
You never know how important they are to u, until they’re gone...
So take time to love and to be loved ...

Nice one Manjuchi. :) Love is the most quintessential ingredient of life. And unlike any other matter in space and time , love increases every time we give it away, with the only parallel being knowledge. And love is tat keeps me going... I have no other possessions worthy of mention! I am so hardened by everything else today that if I ever stop loving I would turn into stone!
Keep writing! :)

Hey Manj too good :) its true and sad that we always take our loved ones for granted.. We should take our out time and be thankful for their love/trust/care...
