I was lucky that i had both kind of people in my life since beginning.
People who loved and appreciated me.People who hatted me and tried to make my life miserable.
I had loving parents fortunately. My bonding with my mother was SPECIAL!. This made me strong i believe .
I had kind teachers and really kind principals .Their kindness gave me confidence .They discovered my hidden qualities such as writing for stage plays ,singing and taking parts in sports like badminton. Even they made me act in plays which i still can't believe.
I had very sweet elderly friends in village who blessed me with treasure of knowledge they had through their experienced lives . Specially my grand father who had passion for reading. He had lots of stories to tell.
His words always inspired me .Not just words but his way of life.He was astonishingly calm and wise person .
I had acquaintance or letter friendship with some very successful and popular radio anchors who were great personalities of media and Urdu literature of that time .Syed Nasir Jahan . Ahsan Wagah and Mumtaz melsi .
It lasted for almost more than 6 years. They admired my poetry and appreciated my way of writing. They predicted that i will be come fine poet in future .Which i could not though but i try to write time to time.
I have pride and peace in my mind that i never ever hurt anyone nor even think about it ever .
May be this is because of my unconscious and conscious bonding with Creator that i never felt bothered or feared from someone . So i could not feel weak against anyone to hate him.
But my friendly nature could not keep me away from people who felt bothered by me for their PERSONAL REASONS . Only lord and they themselves knew that i never gave them reason.not a single one .
Since childhood i had such people who hatted me .
First a mad girl in primary school who hatted me because my mom loved me unlike her mom. She did horrible things and each time i was saved miraculously. Until after my marriage when i met her coincidentally and she apologized with tears and hugs.
Then wife of my brother . Despite of all my efforts i made to win her heart she hated me .It was her hatter that i left home one evening with my father for Karachi but on the way father stopped in this city to meet his brother like friend who eventually became my father in law latter after few years.
You can say her Hatter created situations that resulted in my marriage to hubby.
My husband treated me like a mother . His patience and care made me acknowledge my love for him. Though i expressed my feelings front of him 7 years later.
His love strengthened my soul. Revealed that i am worth of love of an insightful man who was honest and extremely responsible towards his family .
At the same time dislikening of my mother in law and few associates was constantly pushing me towards place where i felt need to IMPROVE MYSELF . If i would have have had loving in laws i might have spent my life in gossips and sittings .
Conditions created by them made me alone and depressed which made me search a way out .I found peace in readings ,studies and exercise .
Conditions created by them made me alone and depressed which made me search a way out .I found peace in readings ,studies and exercise .
Because it is obvious to wave hands for survival when you feel you are sinking slowly.
I am about to enter in my fifties now . I have found that love and hatter are essential ingredients of human life.
And
Both play important role in construction of one's personality.
Flowering bed for ever is unnatural thing. It pampers one enough to get board one day or be lazy and ignorant forever.
Ignorant in terms of " Learning realities of life " that books cannot teach you . They can give you knowledge but experience is something open new horizons .
Gives you insight so you can see your ACTUAL ABILITY TO DEAL WITH PROBLEMS. It not just explore your imagination but awakens your creative side.
I bet constant comfort hardly stir your nerves to learn for better because it has nothing to offer except EASE .
I wonder what life would be if there are no challenges carved by thorns in your way ?
So keep your treasure safe in your heart please whether it is LOVE or HATTER
Both show your PRECIOUSNESS !
Absolutely wonderful post Baili. We all need to revive positive emotions. Angry hateful people are indeed a reality in this world. I really think that you are on to something with your point about some of them being threatened. Perceived threats are the cause of some much overreaction, strife and misery.
ReplyDeletei always tried not to react until it is necessary dear Brain
ReplyDeletein this part of life i realize that i was so blessed that i was one who faced it instead of who caused it because even a though of being that kind of person makes me shiver
lowest form of people do such ridiculous acts
Adversities make us strong! It feels awful when we are going through them however.

ReplyDeleteFeeling awful during difficult times is natural dear Marie
DeleteBut what matters most is that how we learn to face them without affecting our mind and body
Good reflections on life and the good and bad that it holds, so true.
ReplyDeleteeveryone has treasure of his own dear Christine
DeleteYou are so good at reflecting about your emotions. I strive to do the same but you are so much better at it.
ReplyDeletethis is your kindness makes you so my dear Emma!
DeleteLife is full of ups and downs , it's how we face them and how we deal with them that is important.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
all is process of learning indeed dear Jan
DeleteWell said! Thank you for a very lovely post!!!
ReplyDeleteglad you liked my friend
DeleteSo very true! Both types of people are there for a reason. I am glad you are able to see them as they are.
ReplyDeletethis is truly blessing to have realization how important they are to shape you for better dear Nancy
DeleteVery great post Baili :) It's very true about love and hate. Life is a balance, even if at times it's very unpleasant, being hated (and you're right, usually for no reason of your own) makes you appreciate love more. I have lived a rough life up until my 40's and I feel as though all of that negativity, hatred and pain has made me appreciate such simple pleasures now that I'm in my fifties. Welcome to the best decade of your life!!! :) Older, wiser and more grateful!!! :)
ReplyDeletedear Rain i am enjoying this part of age enormously :)
Deletethis is absolutely AMAZING feeling how things get clearer before you eyes
like as you move up on stairs hidden view start appearing and you think oh they were here but i saw them now
learning is absolute pleasure indeed
i don't know when i will be wise lol but still i am enjoying the process
I admire you and how you deal with those people. You have a beautiful mind and sacred heart.
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a wonderful weekend, Baili!
thank you dear Evi !
Deleteit is only your kindness that makes you think as sweet of me :)
Our lives are indeed influenced by the other lives around us and especially how they treat us. We can't control how they act, but we can control how we react to them.
ReplyDeleteGod gives us gifts and friends that help us understand what we need to know.
ReplyDeleteHe is there with us even when we are feeling low.
Well said! Great post! Big Hugs!
ReplyDeleteThe love in this post far outweighs the hate, Baili! The love that surrounded you as a girl carried you through so many difficult times. I am happy that you met a wonderful and compassionate husband and found such richness and joy in your family. Big hugs to you!
