I know there is Light in the END.

I was standing in the middle of weird rush, people were running towards something, something bright , I guess it was light, every one around me, I looked at them, emotional and the only thing they worried about was reaching there as soon as possible. I was feeling like stranger in the hall way with minimum light, covered with darkness, so I dared to speak, or you can say dared to ask a question, and interrupted one person, of course who was running towards light, he was very polite man and I finally questioned him: “sir would you mind telling me where these all people including you going?” person replied: “son that light, you see it?”, “yeah”- I replied, “we all are going there”, and that person left.

But why they are running towards it? I can see their enthusiasm, passion, one person was running towards light with tears running down from his eyes, I thought, does he not more self contended in the journey? Will he be more joyous after reaching there? Or his joy will come to end slowly and gradually after living in there?  With sudden rouse of touch from a running person, I reflected that before in this darkness, like this were we in the light? And we all rushed towards darkness from light out of our enthusiasm? Or just because darkness was something new to us we cant resist to stop us for rushing to this place and now we, in this darkness, all are running towards this light just to get out of here out of boredom?, may be it is like this, and if it is like this then we are trapped in vicious cycle of eternal struggle to achieve a temporary happiness, because reaching either in light or in darkness gives joy for brief period of life.

But question is: “Is there any way out?”, so I decided to ask once again, this time a younger one, why are you going that way? I asked, he replied “Don’t you see there is light in the end of the tunnel?” “yeah I can see”, “so what you are waiting for? Run and get it” with sparkling eyes he advised me, but I reacted to his advice in totally bizarre way and replied: “I know there is light in the end of the tunnel, but what’s new in getting light in the end?”

He looked at me with total lost of thoughts, what did you say? I answered: “Nothing you go, and thanks for advise, have a save journey a head”, now my thoughts started to clear, it was light I wanted but not in the end of the tunnel, but in the middle of it.

We all search happiness in our future goals, we think by getting it we will find ultimate happiness, but nobody knows what to do next after achieving that goal? It’s like finding water or wadi in desert, but that’s not it, there’s always a whole new journey a head.

Journey satisfies Heart more, then reaching the “END”.
