Why all doors close sometimes? In life, Often you are caught unawares. While walking on the straight road with nothing in sight, you suddenly blink your eyes and are amazed to see that you are standing in a hall which contains all locked doors. The inner state is as if a bus driver has abruptly applied jerky brakes. That bus driver who drives all our buses sitting up there knows when to apply these brakes and when to speed it up. But we are generally not used to this mixture in feelings and turnaround of events. Why then did he make us soooo wanting to adapt stability when the life that he gave us was supposed to change at every interval? Readers today are smart. Had it been the 19th or the 20th century, I'd simply have answered it by quoting that:
"Folks, life is supposed to change because god wants us to learn from our mistakes at every point and at every turn!" But I know todays whatsapp generation can easily ignore it considering it as nonsense thanks to millions of life concerning motivational junk roaming freely from one phone to another. So my abilities are in doubt, & I've got to increase my philosophical standards to move this already rocking generation of readers.
I'll start with an example. Lets go back to the days when we were not walking on this road alone. Someone was holding our hand. Actually only one cute little finger of our hand. They used to take huge strides and we just had to run to keep up. They used to be so much busy with their everyday life what with handling work and home and kids and yet, whenever we wanted anything, doesn't matter if we said it to them or not, it became their top priority just as if we were above all their bosses whose work they skipped to take us to a movie.
Time went on... ...as it does! We grew, and so did the level of maturity our brain can handle. They became more protective towards you in the matter of how much you should get to know not to addle your still irresponsible self into a bad human being. "बेटा! अगर कोई तुमको बोले ना कि ये चीज़ try कर यार, बिलकुल मना कर देना ओके?! छोट्टे बच्चों को बहकाने के लिए करते हैं ओके! किसी से खाने के लिए कुछ नहीं लेना ओके?!" (Son! If ever anyone asks you to try something, just say no, ok?! They do it to mislead small children, ok! Never take anything to eat from anyone, ok?!) You grew up, but they were the same. You started having difference in opinions Because you now had a simple question(you felt) to all the customs they followed.. 'Why?' By customs i don't only mean traditional customs but anything and everything they did. "Why do you not eat before we do?" ,"You just said that. Why do you have to be so repetitive?.. ..I can take full care of myself!" Today when I look back, I find they were right. Now all the (whys) have changed into (Had I s) like "Had I worked hard!" Or "Had I just listened once!" Or "Had I not said that word to him then." Then, our parents were mature and understood the need for us to change. We however were always reluctant to that change since we never got a reason to our "Why?" If you agree with me on this point, you have got the answer to the question already. You only need to replace your parents with god in this situation. Our parents always knew we need to change and how. So they tried different ways, easy or uneasy to bring our eyes face to face to the benefits of that change in our life. So all doors never close. Next time when you feel so, think that you have just been kept away from the usual ways so that you strive to find a better one...
