Lost Treasure

Most of us agree with a fact that life is a journey since the time we were born to the time we die. We all have either a good life or a bad life and whatever may be the time we have always tried to learn, fight, manipulate and somehow carry on with our life. The best part is the time when we have crippled to bad health and we are about to die. Best because at that moment when we close our eyes, all the mistakes and good deeds that we may have done when we were in our good health comes to our mind. We remember all the familiar faces and not so familiar faces (since we never got a chance to spend too much time with each other), the time spent with them, the ones whom we loved so much but right now they are not around, the times when we used to forget all our worries and have enjoyed our life without keeping in mind what other people is going to think or say, the moments when we were so wrapped up with our grieves that we could barely touch our meals, moments where we planned so many things in our life but we could not achieved them, the times when we took risky decisions and it was a success, the moments when we met a person while travelling and with time we became good friends but could not went to his funeral, the times when we were having a bad time and there were no one around us to give support, the times when we thought that our problems were bigger than the people we know, the times when we were longing to say something to someone before it’s too late but at last we could not, the times when we used to tell lies to go out with friends but most of the times we were caught, the times when we proposed to our first love but no was the answer, the times when we were so heart broken with our break-ups that we lost trust over love. There are many other things that now while we are going through this piece, come to our mind. But when we open our eyes, all we can do is either repent or be happy with the past.

But what exactly past is all about? Generally this is the time that we have left behind in our life with many facts still hidden. And as we all agree that whatever we do in past it has its affect shown in the present as well as in the future. There are many facts and secrets that are hidden because we know if they are revealed, every night and day they are going to haunt us. But once we have successfully laid our secrets to rest we become reluctant because that time we are confident that they can’t do any harm to us. Whatever it may be but we cannot get rid of our past so easily. And no matter how hard we try to cover the past, once it is revealed, it can be dangerous. Dangerous for those who have it and for those too who confronts it. So sometimes it is better if we try to stop scratching the past and enjoy the present and soon the future to come. But sometimes it becomes so important that we get desperate to dig out the past and as we do we are aware of the consequences. And that is the time when we realise that no matter what, we can never get away with the past, with all the facts and the secrets, which when revealed can bring smile and horror at the same time.
