To all the days that are gone... To all the joys...

I dedicate this post to all those moments of joy and bliss that have gone by in my life. My moods are a million, my thoughts a zillion, but my joys are memorable. Destiny is what people can hide behind to shield themselves from the uncertainties and randomness of life. A spirit to take life in their stride is a thing that does not become of everyone. Old joys turn from memorable to painful when not taken in the right spirit. After all the term old joys means that there is no joy anymore. Those moments of pure joy, when the mind is at its most peaceful, when you want to inhale life, and well they go by in a flash! The memories however remain to haunt you forever. A picture, a place, you do not want to be reminded of any of those moments, as it brings forth the point that you don't have them anymore, and the even more pricking fact that you are probably not doing a lot to have such moments anymore.
Life is all about choices, decisions, pick a way, take a call, go for what you want. Well, ironically man is a dependent being. Things change from going for what you want, to going for what we want. Its this part that most people cannot master. Who is the 'we', who all do we include in this 'we'. Too may directions, too many to please, you drift, you float, you let the tide take you, let it decide your way. Now and then you realize hey I can steer myself in any direction I want. Well, now who wants that kind of power. Then you will have to reason, weigh pros and cons, and yet again you wonder, may be there is a that slight hope and possibility that the tide knows where to you should be, and may be, just may be it will turn out to be all you wanted it to be.
Choices were made, supposedly life affecting choices. Well if only you knew you were making a life affecting choice. As many a great person has said 'Life can be solved looking backwards'. From those lazy, hazy, crazy days, to the day when happiness is the one thing that eludes you. To all the days that are gone... To all the joys...
