The moment.

Life is made up of moments. Isn’t it? Some bring in joy, pleasure, happiness and some of them causing pain, agony, regret, resentment and some passing by almost unnoticeably but still helping us to become better human beings.

Sometimes, it takes just a moment to experience that feeling called ‘love. It takes only a moment to lose all the respect that you’ve earned with a mindless thought or an immature action/behavior. You can apologize but it will take a long time to forget. The wounds do not heal that fast especially when you utter something in moment of madness.  

Sometimes it takes only a moment to react or else you’ll end up regretting it for life. It takes a moment to say something nice. You might have said it and forgotten later but the person to whom you’ve said that will not forget. Kindness is usually not forgotten.

I have had my own moments of sheer joy, and my moments of grief as well. The former still bring smiles, sometimes laughter as well and those are invaluable moments. And the latter are all about accepting what has happened in the past. We should not carry any grudges against anyone. Forgiveness is the sweetest form of revenge. It would be far easier for us to ‘forgive’ if we understand that the forgiveness is for us and not for the perpetrator of that pain.  

Life is all about creating moments which bring in joy, happiness, laughter and then reminiscing them as and when we feel like doing so.
