Now is the right time

Everyone goes through a phase when a frustrating feeling of being taken too much for granted haunts the mind. All productive activities get hampered, and solitude and endless contemplation seem to be the solution. After few long hours, do heck with it attitude kicks in. More often than not, acquiescence and conformity seem to be the easiest choices. Few days pass and the whole thing starts all over again. After a few cycles, naturally the mind and the soul develop a hint of incoherence in contemplation, which is a massive lava waiting to erupt only to become a full blown self conflict.

During such troubled times, stand up for yourself, speak up, do not be malleable are few of the numerous moral boosters one hears from friends or well wishers. But seldom is it easier done than said. Howmuch ever one tries to protest, the black hole of submission finally sucks one in.

It is said that murder is a crime and being accomplice to a murder is also equally a crime. Letting someone take you for granted is itself a big mistake committed right in the beginning. Its not the fault with the person who takes the victim easily. The fundamental problem is the latitude which that person gets because of victim's loose self guard.

But its never late to mend. Just planting a seed doesn't give you a tree, forget about the fruits. Nurturing it does. If the efforts of speaking up seem to do a microscopic job, its probably fine. More needs to be done. One should not be afraid of going slow, but should definitely dread standing still. Some day , efforts will bear fruit and the tiny little drops of success will become a mighty ocean of satisfaction.

Looking back, then, will make one realize that the journey was a reward. There will be no room for regret left; that things could have been different if right actions were taken when the time was there. As someone has rightly said, if only is probably the saddest exclamation.

The time to act is always right and nice, it is just a matter of when one is ready to roll the dice.
