This life is indeed twisted, cruel
and unfair; as most people would claim. It is inevitable to deny the painful
truth that never was there a choice given to live beneath this flawed and as
others would say ugly and unpleasant face. Most people would agree that it
would be easier to list down the blemishes and stains they have rather than
those of the unique and exceptional features they have as a person. They claim
that they shed more tear, and wear less smiles on their face in almost all of
the days of their life. Seldom do they see and appreciate the glaring and
bright rays of the sun shining upon them for they choose to soak and stay under
the pouring rain alone and drained. They feel different and foreign from others
which makes them want to isolate themselves and use such as an excuse to
distant from the people around them or if even possible to the whole world.
They have created a gap between themselves and the world. They have accepted
within them that they were created as aliens and have considered those others
to be perfect beings just because they externally and physically see them as
flawless and unblemished.
Having
thought about the many people whom are covered and cloaked in deep insecurities
and doubt among themselves; is truly heartbreaking. The world may be filled
with people but with the idea that a big chunk of this is composed of those who
have a limited view of the beauty of the gift of life makes me question how
they are able to utilize and appreciate such an extraordinary gift. Indeed, most
would agree that insecurities root from the idea that some people cannot accept
that they live beneath a scarred skin. Some people just see themselves as
unblessed and unlucky; unlike those whom for them they see as living the dream
life. They cry and break; rant and wish that they be this other person
forgetting that because of what they are doing they are further pushing
themselves to become less of the person they should be and more of the person
that they are scared to become.
I
believe that insecurities are just products of the mind. The person we are now
is a beautiful treasure gifted to us. We are all perfect in our own ways. We
may have different angles in showing it but the things that make us distinct
from others is one thing that not only sets us apart but rather is the puzzle
piece that completes life’s revolution and evolvement. We were made to be part
of the growth and advancement of life; and are tasked to do our part in
contributing for its betterment.
No
person is created and made to live within a tormented and flawed face. Each one
of us was gifted with a life having a clean slate; free from freckles and
blemishes. It is only us - the people who creates the stains and causes the
scars that make one feel doubtful and different from those who see and use the
gift of life for a better and wiser purpose. These people who keep drowning
themselves in vices that lead their lives astray are also those individuals who
have the most insecurities which then make them continuously put their lives to
waste and put all the blame to the Greater Being for gifting them a life full
of scars unlike those of others. Only finding out that it is also themselves
who have made and drawn the many insecurities they have; because of the many
wrong, misguided and compulsive life decisions they made.
