Nihilism: my way!

I must tell you I do not agree with you!
Okay!  I agree thats an over-statement!
Let me rephrase...
I do not agree with you most of the time.
And yes. You got it right.
I did not agree with you the other night
When I said, "You know better!"
I meant, "You of course don't understand".

No. I do not think wishes grow when you keep them buried.

I do not agree on that either.
They are not like bamboo culms.
You can not keep them buried for five years
And then expect to see it above the ground..
Followed by a fast, vertical, gravity defying growth
That astounds the whole world!
No. that won't happen.
Because wishes are not like bamboo.

Wishes on the contrary are like the great banyan 

They hide in them the whole universe of possibilities
But they die when left on the ground. 

They need you to grow

Its not a tree. Its a fig.And (I repeat)..
It grows only if it finds a place in you.
It sends its roots through you to reach the ground.
Wishes that way, become grounded only much later!

Like the banyan they engulf you. Completely.

Give wishes the space they need,
The aerial prop roots will spread 
And turn into thick woody trunks.
You will soon forget which one of them was you, originally.
Are you ever enough prepared for your wishes!
Can you ever be?

I must also tell you I am on a mission these days
I am looking for people who "want"
Who "wish", who "desire" and who "live"!
I am so not looking for another bunch of naysayers
I am already quite a handful myself!

I say no to all those cynicism you pass on

I say no to all those hatred you want to spread
I say no to all the despair, the frustrations, the darkness
I refuse to accept all of these that you offer!
I am not going to apologize for being an optimist fool.
(And) I am not going to be sorry that still stand by my values
I am never going to make an apology for being what I am! Ever!

And I am not even stopping at that.
Till you say yes to love, life and living
I will keep saying "no"!

Who is Fumbling on Forgiveness After All?

It has been a long time since I have been musing on this topic. I wanted to write on it quite a few times but I, even I, fear being misunder...
