Why we SHOULD just ‘dislike’...and NOT ‘hate’…??



I love you…I hate you…I love your eyes…I hate her lipstick…I love this place…I hate their food…are just few redundant phrases that always slip out of our big mouths. We hardly ever think, even for a split second, before making these make-or-break decisions. And here lies my love-hate relationship of this abuse and misuse! 

Though, randomly passing these love or hate cards among our counterparts could successfully either spark or ignite an awaiting feeling, but the point is kay…are we ready to handle the aftermaths? Ironically, ninety-nine percent of the times…we don't gauge the frequency while blowing our trumpets! 

We tu just say it…but the tragedy is kay we often think later…and those revelations or epiphanies could even take years…believe me…it’s true !     

I know I’m not quite getting to the main point…but trust me, it’s equally important to word this bitter reality…only to ensure kay we all know where we stand right now, if so? 


Love and hate are such strong and powerful emotions…kay just saying: “love u” or “hate u” is quite a courageous deed. Plus, both feelings come with their very specific rituals of do’s and don’ts…which to me, need to be abided to avoid having any later confusions or dilutions. 

So, the question is kay, whenever we say these words…do we really mean them? Or are these mere slip-of-my-tongue phenomenons? 

I don’t know the answer…could be either one, or even both! Confused…lakin, I’m sure of one thing…to love or to hate…is a serious full-time job…ones you are up for it…then there are no Ifs and Buts…all you gotta do is, do it the right way…period! Ones decided, then there is no looking back…these emotions become a part of you…and you owe them their due respect n regard. 

It’s during my personal to-hate struggle, I realized kay how hard it is to actually devotedly hate someone! Believe me…it’s draining…both physically and emotionally. As a pre-requisite for to-love or to-hate…one needs to continually think about that person, place, or thing…24/7! Your brain needs to tag them as the top-priority files in its memory department. 

It just didn't made sense to me…kay if I want to hate someone…I need to remember them all the time…all those bad moments…keep them fresh n crisp in my memory…categorize them as important people…only so to truly and wholehearted hate them! 


That just wasn't comprehending for me…so I asked myself: “Is it worth all the hassle? Isn't my goal is to forget them…delete that bad part…tear-off that crocked page…?”  

Hence, from there on I found kay…I cannot hate anyone*! As an average normal person…all I am capable of doing is to dislike! The people I don't like…don’t deserve my importance…and why should they?  

By tagging them as ‘disliked files’ I intentionally pull them down to a mediocre status…I’m sure, which they would hate…task accomplished :) All I do is to ignore them in my memories…I know kay it in itself is a continuous struggle…yet, a bit better than that tiresome-hate-regime!   

Thus, never hate…just dislike…keep it short and simple…easy breezy 'kiss'

*P.S. For that lovey-dovy part…I just know one thing…kay…it's better to be respected and understood than be loved...! Hmmm :x

InSaNe SaNiTy--III...a moment...a story...

This is about yesterday...when WE just casually started talking to each other...hmm...kind of opening up...trying to share our fears...our strengths...and our innate perceptions. 



I: so why is he not getting back…?
Me: must be busy…!

I: busy…for past forty-three hours…is it possible…?
Me: maybe he just forgot to reply…told you...must be busy...

I: see…that’s the answer…you said it..."he forgot"…see...it's not that important…
Me: NoNo…you are just derailing…

I: "derailing"…NOO...actually now I am coming back onto the right track….I was just being plain naive…
Me: listen…hold on…wait…!! 
  
I: "hold on" … "wait"…wait for what? Wait to be ignored…to be officially rejected … 
Me: listen…this is not how things work…

I: "Things"…there are no such ‘tangible’ things…plus…he is not even obliged to respond to any of my texts…
Me: okay…I get it…you are not completely wrong…but…

I: "BUT"….what?
Me: remember…for the most part…he has replied all your texts…even if with delays…the point is kay you always heard back from him…so please let go of this “43-hour-offline” thing…

I: so you mean kay… I should just ignore this silence and keep knocking on his door…?
Me: yeh…and without any whining…please stop thinking kay it’s done…it’s over…it’s not meant to be…just stop it ! 

I: I don’t get it…!
Me: you totally "get it"…but just don't want to admit…

I: "admit"…admit what? 
Me: to admit kay “you”—the-most-patient-logical-and-mature-person can also have these teeny-tiny-teen problems…is just not comprehending for you… 

I: NNOOO…
Me: YES…because… out of all your life matters…you are simply becoming impatient when it comes to this…PLUS…you never ever have expected it…you never ever have imagined yourself being ‘derailed’…or losing your cool…see that's why its said kay--"never say, never!"

I: so, do you mean  to say kay I am just becoming a crazy-fanatic-illogical-stalker…??? 
Me: NOO…actually you are simply diving into a relationship…a relationship that you wish to last as a lifelong commitment…

I: hmmm…so that’s a positive…??
Me: yah…your intention is positive…actually quite lovey-dovy….it’s just your response…!

I: "response"…? 
Me: hmmm…won’t you agree kay everlasting relationships need to pass the test of time, patience, trust, and reliability…? 

I: true…that’s actually my innate perception… :)
Me: I know…and I know it very well…but the problem is kay you are very new into this treaty…obviously it's little hard to adjust to these new scenarios…

I: that's achievable naa…?
Me: totally…and you are doing your best….it’s just kay…try to get hold of that obnoxiously-crafty mind…'yours truly' ! 

I: "me"…and "crafty"…I can’t believe… :)
Me: my dear, there are going to be infinite ‘newbies’…which you yet need to be discover… :)

I: I wonder… !
Me: hmmm…welcome…Alice in the Wonderland :)

I: it sounds scary… :0
Me: hmmm…??

I: for Alice...her Wonderland was just a dream...which she created…and then gotten engulfed by it…what if…??
Me: just stop pondering…
…there are no IFS and BUTS as long as you tightly keep holding onto His hope-rope
…remember…Allah SWT had revealed to us His ultimate-secret-tip >>… 
* “…if it’s meant to be, it’ll be…”  
…He even reiterated it further by elaborating kay
* …“What is meant for you, will reach you even if it is beneath two mountains; What isn’t meant for you, won’t reach you even if it is between your two lips.”

I: thanks…I knew it…but just had…
Me: it’s okay…that’s why we are called ‘humans’…

I: *smiling*…feeling much relaxed :)
Me: *smiling*…pleased to be of help :)



P.S. Though it was quite an enlightening experience...yet, WE were just talking...:)

ApPrEcIaTe…it costs nothing…but could win millions…



“It is a truth universally acknowledged,” that the most precious things in life are FREE. I know, I sound a bit like Jane Austen…but trust me…this short, cute, yet a very purposeful write-up got nothing to do with Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy :) 

But still I strongly believe that along with pondering on all those Classics…and making us comprehending the emotions of their fictions characters…won’t it be more benefiting if we are also made to feel and sense the ‘insides’ of our loved ones…even strangers! Trust me, this could be the most humanely-beautifying initiative. 

Let’s admit kay, while we all are churning our daily grinds…we [*simply*] forget to pause, breathe, and appreciate. 

This is it… appreciation, the most beautiful gesture; costs nothing…but…got the power to win millions :) 


"Confession"---We all like to be appreciated, to be flattered, to be praised, to be noticed, to be accepted, to be felt alive! But, ironically we single-souled beings can do nothing about our all these ‘wants and likes’. Appreciation is something that we all love to have, lakin, from others! And that’s totally normal…or else [*cough*] are there any volunteers to join our POTUS-Clan ??

So guys, please STOP overlooking and just taking everything for granted!  

Instead…start appreciating others, take notice of the small little gestures presented by your loved ones. It could be just as mundane as a paratha made by your Ami for Sehari…or a glass of water fetched by your elder sibling...etc. Take note of their lovely emotions...and appreciate. 

Say those magic words...>>..."thank you"; "I really like it"; "It's so yummy"...etc...I guess...you got the feeling...!  

Believe me…It’s not hard…and it’s not something we need to learn. It’s just about habitualizing to NOTICE and then  APPRECIATING in each-n-every moment…and *tada* here comes the long awaiting smile on you both lovely people :) 

Plus, “congrats” on becoming a Richie Rich…$$ 

So until next time,
Keep appreciating & smiling :)
