Silent Shouts

Have you ever felt that the world is closing in on you? Not a pleasant experience I tell you...and I'm sure you've gone through these phases as well. When in such situations, do not look for divine interventions. It's not gonna come, and even if it does, it wont be as fast as you would like it.

Things you just want to get over with, has the tendency to move at ultra slow - motion speed. When your entire future (or at least when you think so) depends on the whims and fancy of someone half way across the world, that you've never even met or exchanged pleasantries with, there's nothing much you can do but wait patiently staring at the liquid crystal display and pray.

So what do you do when these things occur? One thing you shouldn't do though, is be alone. Get some company, and talk about other things.

Escapism, is not what Harry Houdini specialized in. That's you and me in a circle of friends or loved ones, learning to deal with troubles of the world by forgetting it, even if it's only temporarily. A single thread of kind words could save you from total insanity, just as it could plunge you into your doom. So take it easy, and that's not my advice to you.

It's to myself.
