We live our lives in real life, unpredictable, cruel, unfair world and not in some self composed fairytale worlds, where you shape your IDEAL lives. Physics teaches us the ideal can never be achieved. Yet we fool ourselves with the pseudo perennial happiness. Nothing lasts forever be it the good time or the bad.
This is a known cliché. But we prefer to ignore it in our good times and use it when the going isn't good. Hypocrisy is an innate quality we all possess. On the Christmas night we forget that there were days when it was dark. When there were thunders. When the only colour present was black. When the trees were pale and when the lights were off.
Not getting stuck in your past or miseries in good but equally important is keeping your feet on ground. If today you're celebrating Christmas and someone else isn't then it isn't because he deserves it any less. It's just that it's one of the days of your past when it wasn't quite like the Christmas night.
People go through different phases at different times. What is assured is that you'll have enough of all those phases. It's you who is biased and not the time. The higher you rise in your elation, the harder you fall in your grief. The lower you sink in your grief, the difficult it gets to rise up in elation. Living momentously is not possible. Living in your elation is not possible. Living in your grief isn't possible either.
Those who don't realise this at this moment will realise it the hard way. Life has this characteristic of being a hard master. It teaches you sternly if you don't get it yourself. Treating each day as Christmas is overvaluing ourselves. We can never do anything to deserve this. If you think it's so, just look for a moment in your past or around you.
The perimeter of the circle of our concern couldn't just consist of you. We need to widen the radius. Being selfish isn't something that will make your Christmas last very long and when it ends you'll need a lot of things that you would have lost in your selfishness. RECONCILE.
"Good times don't last long sometimes"
