A River That Flows

                                                     

It is said "If you want to make God laugh, tell Him your plans. If you want to make Him laugh even harder, tell Him how much you know."

It’s strange how people around the globe keep planning about their future, not knowing if they are going to see the tomorrow they are planning about. Perhaps, hope is what makes them do so.

Still, life does not provide you everything you desire for. It’s like some divine power is processing our desires and wishes and executes them the way it wants. People try to fabricate their lives in the most preeminent way possible. But it’s a fact that life is not as one would have wished it to be. It seems to me that life is like a river that flows of its own, not concerned about the wishes and aspirations of those inhabiting around. Thus like a river, life is self directing, in a way asking us to follow and takes us where ever it feels like going, through and over the barren rocks or along the gardens full of flowers.

Life can also be regarded as the wind which blows directionless and may prove harmful and once given a direction help boats to sail to their destination.

From what I have figured out, the best way to live one’s life is not trying to give direction to the swift flowing river but following it wherever it takes you in a way that it befriends you and with time can’t move around without you.
