In this traffic, called LIFE, everyone has a blind spot. For some people the blind spot is huge and for some it's very narrow. No matter how much caution you take as a traveler to be aware of your blind spots, you can't have control on a fellow traveler's blind spot. That's why "accidents" in life happen. The good part is that these "accidents" are not fatal and "LIFE" moves on. It has too, because when these "accidents" are fatal, you know that you have successfully completed the journey called "LIFE".
I was way cautious and given my past history, I kept watching for my blind spots all the time and tried avoiding others' blind spots. But the dimensions of vision of LIFE is infinite and we as mortals, can never grasp this infinity and should not try to do so. In this road called "LIFE", there will be these hidden "blind spots" which we will miss unless and until we stumble across them. By default of life, we will have accidents. And as like any other accidents, they will be a part of our life and we just have to adjust to them.

Am I scared of the darkness?
Whomever I talk to these days, keep consoling me by saying "whatever has happened, it happened for best", "the worst had already happened, now only better things can happen to you", "there is always a ray of light in front of this dark tunnel" and other things like that. In some other life, I would have loved and felt comforted to hear such things. I would have loved to believe in the HOPE.
But now, I don't want any hope anymore. I don't want this dark tunnel to end so that I can see the light. I know too well now that "light" will be short-lived followed by another extremely long dark tunnel. I am getting comfortable in this darkness now. I know now, that life is nothing but a journey through long dark tunnels intermittent with short spans of sunlight and the ultimate tunnel will have no end. When the end is all darkness and emptiness, then why do I need to have those short spans of sunlight anymore? Isn't it better to embrace this darkness forever now and make it my home? Isn't it better to prepare myself for the ultimate journey which I have to make alone without any ray of hope?
