The chosen few

Have you ever gone through a series of bad experiences - unfulfilling relationships - where you've always given more and got very little back in return; which often feel like feeding the bottomless pit of a black hole; disillusioning jobs - where you oscillate between feeling invisible and feeling worthless; fractured relations - where you're always made to feel like a permanent disappointment? Chances are that either you are a sucker for suffering and feed off it or you're wallowing in the deep end of a pool called self-pity. If you're unfortunate enough not to fall into either of the two buckets - then you belong to a celebrated club of a chosen few. The chosen few are oft-tested by destiny because unlike the commoners, they are made of sterner stuff. The chosen few can always weather more storms and always emerge stronger; doesn't matter how much they crib, complain and shed a few tears along the way - the chosen few are human too after all. So the next time you feel resentful about the fat bonus your colleague took home, or the kind boyfriend that your friend has - don't question their deserving quotient. Just remember one thing - people who are often short-changed by destiny are the ones loved by her the most. There is a reason that she wants you to pick up the pebbles along the way, while the others gloat in the discovery of their "gems". There is a reason why they had it easy and you didn't! In the end people don't necessarily get what they deserve, they get what they had the courage and conviction to wait around for....

Hope floats!

There are many people you encounter in life who make you feel that life's not worth living after all...however, for every such person there are atleast two who make you believe that there is sunshine back again :)
