Different Situations in Life ?? !!

Scene-1

It is 12 past midnight and you wake up by hearing the sound of water flow. You realize that the water sound is coming from the overhead tank on your terrace. You wake up and rush to your terrace to check if you can quickly fix and close the water overflow as you are very keen and concerned on saving water. Saving water, that too fresh drinking water is a major concern for you. You can see that the tank is overflowing due to a faulty water pipe. By now, you are already aware as to how much water will get wasted if you hadn't observed this and left unattended till morning. As you are examining your tank at 12.30AM, you see that the overflow is due to a broken water pipe, which was left unobserved. You aren't an expert or a plumber to replace the pipe, that too during this time at midnight. You check for the wall tap but don't find any. You are not able to control the overflow of water. Suddenly you realize that there is a main water tap at the ground floor through which you can stop the flow. You rush to ground floor, only to realize that someone had broken the handle and the screws of the tap had worn out. The option of closing the tap from there was also ruled out. You try to figure out if there is any other option left, but don't find any. You go back to your bed and sleep, with still hearing the noise of water overflow. The thoughts of fresh drinking water going waste till morning for almost 8-10 hours are only there in your mind. You are now like a silent spectator who cannot do anything even if you want to!!

Scene-2

When you are in college, you start loving someone so much that no other girl looks beautiful to you other than her. You start speaking to her thus beginning your friendship. You wait for the perfect time to express your love towards her. You wait patiently for such a long time to express your love and finally tell your feelings, only to know that she is already engaged to someone else. It is only then that she gets to know how much you have loved her all these years. You express to her that you need her as your life partner, but unable to change her mind, even though she also felt the same. You become so much attached to her that you cannot imagine a life without her. Its’ almost a decade since you are in love with her. You are not able to stop her from getting married to someone else, even on attempting to change her mind and dedicating all your time waiting for her. You just remember her and cry silently whenever you see a couple around you, or whenever you watch a duet song on the TV, or when you see a guy-girl pair around you. You become a silent spectator who cannot do anything to make her as your life partner, even though you needed her and loved her the most than anybody else.

Scene-3

You are on your way home from office in the late evening. You are walking through a lonely place and hear a crying sound. You get curious and go to see the person who seems to be crying for help. At once, you become dumbstruck by seeing him. He is one of your old friends who had lost contact with you several years back. You had tried to search for his contact but in vain. Now you got to see him, but in such a painful situation. Somebody had hit his bike and his arm broken. You see lot of blood rushing out of his body and immediately take him to nearby hospital. Fortunately, the doctors quickly examine him and give him first aid. Since lot of blood had oozed out from his body, they suggest he needs at-least 2 bottles of blood. Unfortunately, the blood which matched his blood group was in acute shortage and very difficult to get. The doctors tell that they needed the blood within an hour to save his life. Your friend is lying unconscious on the hospital bed. You don't know about his family whereabouts and also their contact numbers.  You contact your other friends and relatives to find out if any of their blood matches with his, but in vain. Doctors there suggest that they might get that blood in a blood bank which is almost 20km from that place, but it would be too late by then. You lose all hope of saving your friend. You stand helpless thinking what you can do to save that friend whom you were searching for all these years. You become a silent spectator to see your friend losing his life right in front of you.

Lot of such incidents would have been happening in your life. You must have faced such painful incidents or may have to face similar incidents in your life. Most of the times, you just become a silent spectator, unable to do anything, being helpless like in the case of closing the leakage in the water tank, or stopping you love getting married to some other person, or saving your best friend from the death bed. Each such situation is a pain to undergo. Some of them may relate to the environment around you, some may relate to your close ones or may relate directly to your life. What do you do in such cases other than being a silent spectator?? Nothing !!

You are such an environment conscious person who cannot tolerate even a single water drop getting wasted. But you had to simply watch litres together of water going waste. Maybe you should have learnt the skill of fixing a water tap...

You loved that girl so much that you considered her as your top priority in life. But you had to simply watch her going away from you marrying some unknown person. Maybe you missed to tell that important something about you, by knowing which she would have definitely stayed back in your life...

Your best friend whom you didn't want to lose was on death bed and you couldn't save him. Maybe you should've atleast gone and checked that blood bank which was 20km away which might have saved his life.

Well… These might be some of the worst things in your life, which neither allow you to live peacefully nor do you die completely. These are all the sad things of every life.

However, there might also be some happy moments or miracles happening around you, even though you stayed like a silent spectator. The tap whose screws had worn out had only had to be tightened, which you did and closed the main tap, thus stopping leakage and saving large amounts of water. The girl whom you loved so much, unable to bear her lonely life and your pain, came back to your life as your life partner within just a year or two after you lost her. The duty doctor who had just entered the hospital, fortunately had the same blood group of your friend, donated blood to him which saved his life and you got him back. Few instances like these show miracles happen, but don’t mean that every person is so lucky to make them happen. Some things aren't in your hands even if you dedicate yourselves for making it happen. If nature wants something to happen, it gives full support from all sides to make things happen. Some things happen early and some late. As there is a saying - "Better Late than Never", if things are destined to happen, it will definitely happen. Indeed, life is a very confusing journey with all good and bad things happening together.
