the third eye

the third eye they say words are platitudes others say words are profound fame is fleeing emotions fleeting let the third eye be your guide #tpoem baithuk.wordpress.com baithak.blogspot.com F Shirin MD @FShirin · 5h Sharing a long due midnight rant as I am an insomniac. So far, I have kept tjis mostly to myself but I guess it’s time to share,coz I don’t want to bundle it any more.,I hope I can convey, and please correct me if I am wrong! If I sound weak here, well no harm in that coz vulnerability is the taste of life, and a valuable asset, mostly that is. The literary world, like many other worlds, is not a perfectly just meritocracy. And gradually, without intending to, we begin to measure our lives, our capabilities,,against opportunities we had by virtue of being in a place of abundance, privilege, fame , or the ones we never had, I confess that this comparison become a pain. Some people rise from a point of privilege and succeed, while others must build their platform from the ground up, often carrying responsibilities and living day to day lives that leave little room for self-promotion/broadcasting. It is unfair. and at times, I feel low, as I know I am jealous. I despise that feeling. I will likely stay unknown, unregistered, just because i am not privileged to have a known last name & lineage or the ‘right network/ contacts’ thereof. I will keep writing, creating what I can though , keep hoping, with a deep pang in my heart. They say: “All are equal, but some are more equal.” Whether this breeds jealousy or envy, it deeply hurts! One can just hope it does not mar our creativity, capabilities and survival skills. It’s a struggle, to say the least, unless you can not feel or think., Life, after-all is an ongoing difficult journey. Hope this doesn’t break me. I may no be best but better than many, and that is not an instinct, but a calculated, learnt piece of understanding the skill. The ‘better’ makes us strive for improvement. If we are ‘the best’, it halts, ends everything. Living is an art itself and cheers to it! Introspection is good, but requires a skill😊 Gaining hollow sympathies is not my goal🙏🏻 This SM space is like going to a happy hour, some go there very happy, and some to seek happiness, but most are lonely inside. 🥂 اور جن کے سر سے گزر جائے یہ پوسٹ، وہ بخشے ہوئے ہیں۔۔ کم از کم اس جہان میں😊 Thanks for reading 🙏🏻
