Life: A True "Terra Incognita"

Sometimes life shows you such unpredictable facet that you cant help but think if the life you have spent so far is a sham or if you can ever be sure of any part of your life .I know it sounds really philosophical but sometimes the philosophy is so true to life that you cant help meditating on it .

Well what forced me to meditate on this was the drama called “Karb”.It was one of objet d'art in dramatic world. The main theme of the drama was something like this :A woman takes an orphan girl in her home and later the girl gets engaged to her brother. However it seemed the destiny had stored for the woman something she could have never ever dreamt of. The girl falls in love with the woman’s husband and he also gets infatuated with the girl. The drama ended with the girl and woman’s husband living in the house married and the woman in the mental hospital.

The most ironic thing is that this drama is not based on fiction rather narrates a true story that occurred in real life. This is not one of its kinds rather an example of many such identical stories. Most people can relate to this story as many men do this. There are such cases in which wives found out after decades of marriage that their husbands were already married, or had an affair, serious enough to lead to marriage. This is so common that people have forgotten to take notice of it rather this has become part of everyday. However this is never part of everyday life for the people who go through this.

An instant can alter life forever. This truly depicts the image of those who suffer from it. The sense of belonging and security is destroyed and they can never be the same again. Imagine if you were the person who came to know that the person with whom you have spent your half life has been leading another life for ages. Just the thought is enough to scare the hell out of you and if you think about the children. ...What would be there reaction?? Would they be ever able to say that "Our dad loves us so much" or even think this .NO NO NEVER ......................cause they will be always be insecure about their position in their father's life.

I hope that this never happens to anyone and even if some people have the misfortune to face it they are able to come out of it gracefully.

Well true to every word I definitely believe that life is a series of constant struggle and surprises. But I personally believe that if we deprive life of these two elements its routine will become monotonous and thus won’t be of much interest. There are definitely some really horrible accidents all because of weird human actions and emotions working at the most strangest places but still it is what Allah has supplied to all humans being and at the end of the day no one can alter what is written in their fates unless of course by prayers. So all one can do is to pray to God that no such incident happen to any one in this world and if actually happens than give then true courage to bear its consequences and complicacies.

its an irony that we see such trauma in our society.it should be condemed by both genders which is equally disturbing and tramtizing.
one hope and pray that such incidents never occur in anyone's life.

this is something that i can relate to very much...dun wanna go into detail but just like to quote a bit of experience....yeah u r rite, the kids can never say that again that "our dad loves us", the insecurity just settles inside forever but one of the ironies of life is that "life goes on" and time's the best healer....so no matter wht happens it always goes on...me too wish that all those who face this do come out gracefully

Ones kindness backlashes. Even i can relate to that. I guess we have to accept that life isnt always fair. I ll have to admit my ethics have been brain washed into so I will follow them no matter what. Because I believe they will protect me. May be society needs something like that.
