This blogpost is a very important one...and hence my repeated visits to this topic.

I wrote a long comment about life being fair...but I erased that text as there is nothing one can say about it. Nothing is fair...and everything is fair.

Another key thing is that the maturity and reflection that one has "after" being crippled is different from what it would be before or for that matter even in anticipation. So, the thought of going to sages and stuff...would probably not have occured even if one knew what was in store (atleast for most of us)....

So, what is the moral of the story? For this and the earlier post about advice to healthy people ? "DON't PROCRASTINATE". Do not keep it for tomorrow what you WANT AND CAN do. If one of the two criteria does not fit....its time has not come...and irrespective of what happens...do not regret afterwards.

What can I say ? As you said...it is all those emotions one goes through. And such emotions are 100.00% unique to each and everyone. There is no common denominator of what life should be for us to compare to. There are people who seem to have everything in the world ...and there are people who do not even know what tomorrow holds for them (and hence do not even dare to dream). So, we are told to rationalize that we are blessed and not to complain. But its all perspective, personal and intensely unique to our own mind. When I see mothers of children with kidney disease come on the board...I cry out for pain as to why they had to get affected so early...and that atleast we have the ability to 'understand' what is happening. But then, the same goes for the other side itself. It does not seem to be fair..but its logical. The fact that we are born with this body carries the risks that play out.

There are many of us who "knew" that the time will come...yet do not necessarily do all the things that we want to do. That is firstly because there is no such thing as a 'finite' list of things and also because we are still 'lost'. We live moments the way we live them....but then judge them afterwards as to how we should have lived them. It is this sense of regret later that is the biggest bane as that will remain irrespective of how high we might think we lived. This is the reason I did not comment on your post about "healthy people...do not ignore"....because it is all relative.

Thanks Sam, I understand what you're saying. But I guess we all go through these phases of depression. Its only a phase and not a permanent state of mind. Thanks for your comment!

U r the most strongest person mentally.. Pls try to engage urself in some or the other activity to divert your thoughts related to those.. for ppl like us, there's not much we can do .. I cant play cricket now, but what can I do, I cant mirchi bajjis, I cant have sodas . .. in my case I was diagnosed with it at the age of 20. Rather than empathising with you, i take you as my inspiration.
