*IS THAT ENOUGH?*

I just finished watching the last episode of Big Bang Theory. I know most of the people who watched the season were in tears when Sheldon admitted his mistakes and acknowledged his friends as valuable partners in his success.

But I couldn't help but think, is that enough? Is just the realization that one was wrong enough? What about the affected people? What about the torment they had to bear? Is it supposed to be enough to just apologize? If it is, why? If it's not, what would make it enough?

Change my mind

*THE DETAILS*

I have spent most of my life observing like a side character. Or like a CCTV whose only purpose is to watch. There are plenty of things I learned from my life, obviously, but one of the main things was to pay attention to the details. To observe how a person's smile can be sad, how the languages relate, how each and every little act of a human being can determine their overall behavior, and how humans are always unpredictable despite always doing the worst thing one can predict from them.

This is like a by-product of years of overthinking. When one is used to consider every scenario and detail, almost nothing gets omitted by their mind. It's also kind of a deep swamp. Once you get in, there's no way out. You only get sucked in deeper and deeper, no matter how much you struggle. The thrill of witnessing something and having it in the catalogue of the scenarios you've considered in your mind is beyond words. It's much better when you're a useless person like me. It feels like you have a small fraction of control over yours or someone else's life.

Another benefit of considering the details is that you NEVER get disappointed, shocked, or scared. That comes naturally when you have considered a whole lot of possibilities. It certainly makes you knowledgeable.

So, the point is, along with the devil, there are some benefits in the details too. I wonder if other people feel the same about this.

*WHEN THE TRUTH HITS*

The realization of the truth is never an easy process. Especially when one realizes things about one's self. And the heaviest of them all is the grasping the reality of being normal.

Every one of us is normally told about being special. The way we're raised is designed to make us think better of ourselves. So, we begin to consider us as high-minded intellectuals who just need a chance to prove themselves.

After having several chances, the truth hits us (it doesn't happen to the best of us). It makes us understand that we're normal. Just average. All those concepts induced/imagined in our heads about being some kind of great person are proved wrong. And this is when we're born again, because this is the point where we're brought to reality. This is when the actual life starts....!

*BUJH JAUN GI*

Today, I was listening to the conversation between my brother and Dadi Ammi. He was asking her to guess something by saying, "Bujho tou jaanein". My dadi ammi said, "Bujh jaun gi tou andhera ho jaaye ga". My brother laughed and they moved on in the convo.

But this had lead me into a world full of questions and thoughts.

There are people in our life who are just like candles in the dark for us. They give us hope, strength, and ability to fight the odds, even if they do nothing at all. Their mere existence is enough for us to keep going.

Want a simple advice? Recognize and cherish them while they last, will ya?!
