Embracing the Paradox
<p>Life has an amazing way of showing us the crushing reality, often challenging us of our core beliefs. People who fall in love without letting the societal voices intervene are lucky. People who make that love a commitment even luckier. One has to be strong willed and hopeful to succumb to the fear of losing it all.</p>
<p>From the very beginning, One is conditioned to believe one needs more than love in life. Society insists that one requires money, familial approval, and countless other validations. The truth is, One is afraid of the hardships that come with honest love. It’s only natural to desire a life of comfort and security, isn’t it? But is there even such a thing as a truly “safe” life? The very concept seems paradoxical.</p>
<p>Everyday we find ourselves at cross-roads, grappling with these internal battles. One must fight the heart and the mind at every intersection, at every phase of life and every moral decision one makes. Sometimes the heart takes precedence, other times the mind. What intrigues me more is, How does one deal with the guilt of it all? Because in truth, one is never completely RIGHT. It might be right for that minute, for that version of you. Doesn’t necessarily mean one is RIGHT. What’s right today may not be so tomorrow. And therein lies the beautiful complexity of our existence — the continuous dialogue between our heart’s desires and our rational mind’s calculations.</p>
