Why?
March 19th, 2006 by Archana

Why is it that every person dosen’t remember the simple things which bring happiness to them , which come their way without even asking or expecting about it and why is it that most of us crib about the things which we want, never happened?
We do cherish sweet memories, but many of us still complain about things which didn’t or don’t happen the way we want them to and get depressed. When talking about old memories , at some point in the conversation we’d say ‘ I wish it happened’ or ‘I wish my parents said ‘ … and later on we keep repeating those three words ‘ I just wish ‘, be it personal or professional.
Many of my friends come to me with silly problems like, ‘ I didn’t get selected by that company but my friend got thru’ or ‘why is it that my parents always scold me and not to my bro/sis’ . I wonder why they are wasting their time about the very small things.
I’ve even seen some people who say “whatever happens, happens for our own good” and yet they still say i just wish !
I’m not saying that i never cribbed about anything. When I was a kid, there were many times when even i wished for. I never complained about the petty things when i grew up!
Well let me be frank , sometimes I did.

A few hrs back I was sharing my college life memories with uday and suddenly I started complaining about the mumbai trip which i wanted to go with my friends but couldn’t . It was an educational tour.. we had to go to the mumbai port and study the process of shipping the goods etc etc… and that my parents didn’t agree to it.
HA!.. now look who started complaing
And while i started to write here, I realised that its the tendency of every human being , no matter how hard we try to forget the bad memories , we still complain about it all the time.
Life is filled with surprises.. a mixture of good and bad …”Accept both” is my mantra from now on. But if we start complaining, then we’ll miss the very best days or the best moments of our life ahead.
Plus, Life ain’t challenging if it’s filled with only happiness.

Well, I think that people create troubles for themselves, we all unconciously want to have problems and then solve them. It makes us feel that we have a purpose…something to live for…..
Regarding nostalgia…all of us suffer from selective amnesia….most of the time our brain erases unpleasent memories and keeps only the pleasant ones…except for the terrifying ones which can’t be erased. No wonder, when we think about our old school or our friends we invairably feel happy….
