OUR MIND IS A TOOL, THAT THE BODY HANDLES.

As I strolled around my apartments from a tiring day, I looked up at the sky as a necessary ritual to admire the beauty of the moon. This time it was different. It didn't seem clear to my pupil. I stared and stared (as if I found the man of my life); it was all blurry, so ill-defined that it made me doubt my own eyes. I literally rubbed my eyes and admired again, okay so it was blur again. However, it was blur not because of my eyes but due to the clouds all around the sky.

To all intents and purposes, the ratio of force and pressure around and over the moon was cloudy. It took me long pause to realize and create the synopsis of the scenario and actually walk forward. Well, I headed up straight on my path baffled. I was a bit disturbed and a lot more perplexed. Then, my mind took its pace. I wanted to shut it all at first place, as I was sick of overthinking. However, this time I let my mind overpower my senses and I kept going. So, I acknowledged this scalar quantity having no direction and just the magnitude to make its way. 
Yeah! I'm a strong believer of simile and metaphor. I compared my life with this incident. It goes "Once upon a time, this moon was my destination, my dream, my life, my everything. Clouds were there, then too. Although, I swallowed every vapour of it to make my path clear. And now..." silence. Why did I doubt myself? in fact why do I? When the problem is not in me but the sky. Why do I blame me, for every single bad thing that happens for the sake of happening? Why do I see all the unrevealed clouds now? Without even analyzing the situation, I define myself the criminal when I'm certainly not. 

I'm not certain about everybody, but being an amateur Homo sapien I believe its not just me. It's simply about all of us. Why should we question our worth just because of a bad situation. My friend, we are not bad just because we had a bad day. This cloudy atmosphere with maximum concentration of nitrogen gas( Yeah! I'm a science student) is nothing other than the common difficulties that we face in our lives. The small problems that becomes big to us. From time management, addictions, people's opinion, people's comment, judgements et cetera. Negativity is all around, perhaps that is the reason why we see the clouds, before the clear sky. However, it is again our choice. Moon is everywhere, it is just waiting to be found. Go out and admire; it's there just its the sunlight that hides it. Choice matters as life is impossible without it. (LIFE IS A JOURNEY BETWEEN B AND D, AND THE BETWEEN IS Choice). Though, this positive choice doesn't last for long. Our mind is a scalar quantity, it just needs a fuel to run and direction doesn't matter to it. I just realized it's a virus too .It is the sum of Biology and Physics which equalizes BIOSICS. It is turning scary now!  (BACK TO THE POINT) Before understanding others, we need to know ourselves. Before closing the doors of negativity we must understand our minds. The power lies in us, we can swallow all this cloudy atmosphere which has life supporting oxygen and life taking carbon dioxide too(ugh! but CO2 is necessity too, No CO2 = No plants = No O2 = No humans). This implies life is a mixture of both negativity and positivity, just we must have a balance. 

Let us live more and die less. Let's loose our mind(DON'T BECOME BRAIN LESS, IT MEANS NOT TO OVERTHINK) in order to gain ourselves back.
