My 116th Post: Friday The 13th

I know, I am late for this post but I was just waiting for the day to end....then when I started writing this post, I gave a second thought and again delayed it just to make sure that Friday the 13th definitely crossed the entire world....it is the morning of 15th here in my country and I guess the effects of 13th are clearly washed out by now....
How my day went? There was nothing new to it....it was as it was supposed to be or in fact it was better than the rest....I enjoyed my day and was able to stamp my unfinished works....I received nice treats and it was a lovely day as I hung out with friends, received some random smiles and slept peacefully....so I guess it didn't affect me at all....in my case, there was nothing like Friday the 13th....well to be honest, I was born on Friday the 13th of December...so if to view it in that sense then maybe, just maybe, it didn't had its effects upon me because my birth date counter acted against it....in simple words, I descended upon that date so maybe it didn't have effects upon me because I am somehow a part of that ritual....well this is just a hypothesis....
There isn't any clear record of this day...it is believed that Friday is an unlucky day and 13th is an unlucky number.....when both of these combine, the day is going to be disastrous......people avoid moving around upon Friday the 13th...they believe that it is going to ruin their work and as a result of superstition, they take as much precautions as possible....it is also believed that upon Friday the 13th, evil spirits and souls rise from Hell and roam freely among us....they try their level best to blacken our luck....
We people just have a habit to believe each and everything we listen to....instead of checking out the facts, we just follow the gossip....Friday the 13th is also something like that...it is just a foolish superstition which people follow....things like these are playing with our minds....people avoid travelling, making business deals or anything which they think might ruin their fortunes....like for number 13, there are majority of buildings in this world which do not have a 13th floor and if it does then people avoid living on it....there is also a thing which states that whenever there are 13 people sitting on a table, one would definitely die....there are numerous stories which follow such a stupid superstition....
We are weak and it is really easy to mould our minds....there is nothing like superstitions.....days like Friday the 13th make no difference...if one was to loose something, he/she might loose it even when it is 12 (the luckiest date) of that month....making an appointment on Friday the 13th won't contribute in the workings of your deal....so I believe that there is nothing like believing that Friday the 13th is an unlucky day...well at least I won't believe that because I was born on that day and Allah has bestowed me with many things so I feel I am lucky....if it really was that unlucky, then life wouldn't be the way I am living it...so forget these stupid superstitions and live freely because there are other important things to worry about rather than this.....

My 76th Post: Suppressed Dreams

The day we are born, we start dreaming of different things with each step we take...some dreams are just our fantasies which are impossible to achieve like having the powers of Goku but other dreams make up the aim of our life...with each growing year, we mature through our thoughts and evaluate each and possible way of achieving them....sometimes we are successful in our motives and at others, we sit down with a frown upon our faces...some of us stand up again and keep on trying, while others stay behind and accept defeat....
There are two types of people...some who have a totally independence over making any decision which they think would help them out and others think they lead but in reality, they totally depend upon their parents or any other guardians....being the second type would really hurt because at times, dreams are modified in something which their guardian wants...so in simple words, their dream dies and start living someone's else's dream.....

When we are young, we are asked again and again that what we want to be when we grow up...that is the question on each and every person's mind who meets us for the first time...we tell different things with time but somehow our aim was always linked together, it just got more realistic with maturity....then comes our parents who tell us that we can become what ever we want but when we grow up, different questions arise and our dreams are mostly crushed because it is not a good career to to be a race car driver that is what we are told by our parents....the thought in my mind here is that if we really can't decide what to do, then why are we given the right to dream....I mean if we aren't capable to live our dream, then that is our loss but if the time comes to live the dream and with all the capabilities we are denied to follow what we had in mind for the past years of our life, then it is soul crushing....
If a person is allowed to dream, then he/she should have the right to follow it completely only with the set of guidance not the authority of changing it from head to toe....if someone is given a task and offered a reward in return, that someone should be awarded that reward when the task is fulfilled....giving a task is just like telling someone to dream and then when the requirements are check listed, then he/she should be allowed to head towards it....I don't know why people don't understand that when someone, for example, is given the permission to learn lets see a guitar and if he/she is successful then he/she can try to become a rockstar...that someone hangs on to the dream and would learn the guitar because the parents allowed him/her to follow the path they dream on...but when the task is completed and he/she is told that being a rockstar isn't the right thing to do, become a physicist instead and no matter what that child has to listen to the parents, the dream is thrashed and clings on the negative side of the brain.....that would hurt a lot because that child proved his/her capabilty but still couldn't continue that because he/she was told not to....
If that is how parents want things, then there is no need of letting the child dream because in the end the path would lead towards what the parents had already planned from the being....supporting a dream and planting the idea of stepping forward and then when the last step remains, pulling back the ladder would hurt the child badly....it is better not to dream if there is no sense of independence.....
If a parent wants the child to dream, then let him/her pursue it if it is the right thing to do and if there is some problem with that, then state it clearly in the beginning ..don't take time and rule out the decision when the child is just about to grab it....that would help both the child and your relation....
Tc, do comment and share...and if there is something offensive then do share....just thought to state what usually happens in our society from generations....
