THE PERSPECTIVE

“ Because it has happened to others, don’t think it can’t happen to you.” This statement is much familiar with a lot of people but the difference comes in the internalization of it. It’s actually hard to internalize such a statement when you put into context certain misfortunes and circumstances that meet people in this life. When you put the reality on the table and try to associate with it, most often it doesn’t add up- Sort of to say: 1+1= 11 and not 2 as we all know. But why? In the line of life; some are starting out, others are midway and some are almost there but none is there yet.

The dirt of every kind carried by the flowing water made the situation very disgusting and worse of all, my pure white dress was not going to survive all that mess!  Just then a thought flashed through my mind an...
