Our Special Journey

8. A New Day

The rays of light radiated through my room and brushed my face. I opened my eyes and saw the shining dots all through the white lace curtain. The sun started to brighten everywhere as well as making me cheerful in the morning. It's good when you begin your day with rays of hope in your heart. I got up and went near the window. The pale blue color of the sky was illuminating a fine day. Obviously, this scene could be one of those rare views in the fall.

I went to the kitchen and made a cup of coffee. Simply, drinking coffee in the mornings is my favorite part of life after seeing the sun in the sky. While smelling the coffee everywhere and taking a deep breath in, I closed my eyes and tried to not to think about anything for a moment. Sometimes it's good to empty your mind from every single thought even for few seconds. Then, I went to my room and sat on my bed thinking about last night. It seemed recalling and the flash backs were part of the process as a turning point for me to change my opinion about him. Indeed, it's going to happen for a good reason.

Personally, I think we generate many reasons to develop negative feelings and ideas about some people at some point. It seems that we focus on our own judgement and notions too much as if they are fixed and unchangeable. In fact, it can be symbolized as marking the final chapters for them. Are we brave enough to revise these kinds of chapters and write the new ones? Because people change and there are always possibilities of shifts in paradigms.

It's been a strange but special journey for me to learn a lesson. I've learned not to credit my judgement about people when I have not walked in their shoes. In other words, it feels like I see a showcase of the people's lives and what I see and perceive mentally can be illusions. Do I confess that I've been living in an illusory space formed by my illusive minds and opinions about the others? Yes, I do.

Am I sorry for admitting such a dark fact about me? Well, it's not a common yes-no question. As a matter of fact, I'm truly sorry for letting myself to act like that and being deceived and tricked by my own mind and thoughts about the people. All the same, I'm happy that I learned this valuable lesson and experienced it with total involvement. Also, I'm happy and confident to acknowledge that he is the main reason for directing me to this side of humanity. How many of us live this simple lesson everyday? Let's be honest while answering this question.
