Why do I write?
Because I want to share something, why I want to share something, because I have
something in my heart, in my mind which just wants to come out, and it wants to
reveal itself. Does it really matter how many people read it, yes somewhat, but
somewhere deep down actually it does not matter. Expression is mandatory,
response is optional. Saying is an expression, writing is an expression,
playing is an expression, singing, crying, chiding, loving are expressions. Each
and every action of life is an expression. Life consists of expressions,
nothing else. When you say someone ‘I love you’ you express yourself. When you
say someone ‘you are cheater’ you express yourself. Science, literature, art,
war, peace are expressions of life.
When you
express something (irrespective of good and evil), your life goes one step
ahead. You must say whatsoever you want to say. If you want to say something unexpected
to your father, you should say it. If you decide not to say then sooner or
later these unsaid thoughts will reveal itself in form of emotional burst. Hiding
any kind of thought is unnatural. When any thought comes naturally and we find it
in favor of someone, we say and praise that person. However we do not say anything
which we think it can hurt someone. We do not say anything bad to anyone since
this is what we have been told or we think so. Sometimes we do not say because we
find that it might risk our relation, our promotion, our image (the most
ridiculous). Expressing any kind of thought is the only way to improve something.
Concealing can only make things worse.
Only expression
causes a revolt, a change. Change for what, change for betterment. But how much
change an expression can bring in your life is depend on you and the way you
express it. When Gandhi-ji was pushed out of train in South Africa he could
have slapped train ticket examiner, however he chose to express himself in
different manner to root out racial discrimination.
Many times
when you want to say something bad and you express it, you feel better, why so,
because you do not hinder flow of life by revealing yourself. Even when you criticize
someone in his/her absence you feel good, believe me if you have enough courage
to say in front of him/her you are going to live best moment of your life.
When life
does not find itself to reveal the way it wants to reveal, it takes another
path which we call negativity. Some expression might risk your relation/job
however you must say it, otherwise in lack of expression it causes emotional
burst and depression. Not expressing yourself can cause more harm to you than
expressing yourself.
