There is this road I take everyday to work and back . It was overtly crowded and traffic almost on a stand still as the super market on the road was a crowd puller with less parking so every visitor parked on the footpath and clogged the roads . This went on for years and I never noticed anything but the traffic , chaos and so many times have found ways to avoid driving on that stretch especially a sunday as I know a 2 minute drive will take 20 minutes and life went on …

Recently they shut the store rather shifted it elsewhere and when I realised that it was a huge sigh of relief for me. No more traffic woes I screamed and punched my hands in the air . Again life went on until one night when I was driving back home. I saw the dark building from the signal and noticed that the super market and people around it were beyond mere nuisance . It provided light and also had people and security around which was missing.

The path gave a deserted look and left me thinking that we always find negatives when something is around us and start noticing the positives when it is gone . Why is that we aren’t trained to see the good first before we crib about the bad? isnt that the ideal way of looking at life? We whine and cry about what we dont want and seldom appreciate what we have . We run behind what we dont need and ignore what we have , we chase dreams for tomorrow and fail to live today . We are humans and the most intelligent “life” on this planet .. Hmm time to rethink?
