speed breakers

Speed breakers…. As the name suggests are meant to break the speed that is normal.

They tell you that you need to slow down; they tell you that you are going too fast….

I feel that they actually mean much more, I feel they kind of make you realize how smooth the road was before… and just in case you were too engrossed in driving and forgot to acknowledge that… the speed breaker makes you do that.

Moreover, once you cross them and see the next stretch, you kind of start afresh no matter how small the speed breaker or how short the next stretch is… you suddenly appreciate the next stretch much more…

Similarly when we are sad in life, it is our wish to treat it as an activity without a past or a future. Or we can see it as a reminder that how good life was before and be more appreciative of the future, smooth stretch..

I try my best to look at the troughs of life in that manner.. just that that right now it feels am travelling on speed breakers and not a road at all… it gets too much at times. …
