Why Only Me?

This question ponders in our mind when something wrong happens with us and the intensity of asking this question depends on how worse our circumstances are.

Life gives us surprises, most of them are shocks as we all know. While we are trying to be happy for that one small reason which gives meaning to our happiness, some not so defined, not so expected situation has to occur and ruin those precious moments of rarely occurred happiness.

If we notice carefully, we’ll observe everybody around us is asking the same question “why only me” in those not so good situations.

Here are some of the common situations we all face almost every day-

1.Getting late where you should have reached like two hours back
2.The food is not good only on your table (As they say grass is greener on the other side)
3.Someone bumped into you, your phone is on the floor and now it no longer looks that new
4.You had an argument with your best friend
5.Someone said that you should get married (of course if you are not)
6.Someone is trying to give you a loan but you don’t need it
7.You smiled at someone but they forgot to smile back or vice versa

You must be thinking; these are just some of the “small” things which happen to everyone of us every day or at least every alternate day. My point here is there are also some huge circumstances which we all are facing; the difference is only the level and degree in which these things are happening to each one of us. Some are able to handle it, some are not, some are capable of solving it, some are not, some blame others, some blame self.

Destiny is playing games with everyone. Different games at different levels. If we understand that each one of us is going through struggles and each one of us requires some support then just imagine the level of understanding that we will develop towards each other, the kind of consideration we will show towards each other and the way we will be able to help each other.

The world needs people who help, who understand, they say if you can’t find one, be one.

If we start saying “It is not only me” instead of asking “why only me” then change will happen and ultimately, we’ll make our lives better by trying to help others in making their lives better.
