It enrages me when one reacts with pusillanimity during the most defining moments of their life. ‘Pusillanimous’ is a word I accidentally came across today; I clarify to dispel any doubts of pretentious erudition on my part. Okay to reiterate, the point is, I find it absolutely disgusting when one reacts with a sense of resignation and acceptance to put it a bit more mildly, during really important moments. Sometimes, our lives are so inextricably linked to each other that a mere twitch in one can actually cause a spasm in another. It is okay to not get disturbed and worked up but it is not okay to sit back and laze around with a ‘happiness lies in acceptance’ smile plastered on your blooming face. I find myself seething in veritable rage when I see people really close to me endorsing this kind of an attitude. After a point, it is just disturbing. I wish i could just connect their corporeal existence to a plug point and let a steady stream of electrons flow in the wake of a vast potential difference. Maybe the sheer shock of being electrocuted would jerk these lifeless forms back to life. I find it oddly incongruous when one accepts silently what Life thrusts at us. You are supposed to  bawl, throw tantrums and then stick your tongue out and get back to your feet, chins up.okay, maybe being vociferous is not exactly the most commendable thing to do but still you just can't afford to patiently endure without having any escape route in mind.Come on , be a Man and Fight with your Life just like you would have run for your Life if your were imprisoned and just had this one chance to escape.Even if the sword pierces your heart and ruptures your aorta, you must continue to fight. Fight till their is no blood left in your body to be shed.Be brave, Be valiant.On no account can you afford to come across as a coward.
and then there are people who are outwardly calm but their is a tornado raging inside them . With quiet resilience, they enter the battle-field -they fight, they endure but they do not shout even during times of excruciating pain.They are the masters of their game. Victory is inevitable when you are the one controlling your destiny.It is oddly reassuring to find such people.Maybe it is just me but i haven't come across too many people like this.
