Since i was taught to believe in the God unseen, it opened doors for many other unseen, known yet unrealistic ideas to believe in which later became my reality. And I marched for it, covered long distances in the name of it, i cried for it and laughed only for it. Until, God lifted the curtain and I realised, it was nothing but a utopia that my brain has constructed at the convenience of my heart.
Was it the right path I was following or a distraction I mistook as a right path, a mere distraction? I realised, I marched all my life but was cheated for what I marched for. Who was the culprit? satan? No. I was the culprit because I never tested my version of truth against reality. The reality of mankind. So I did. Now I rest in peace in real sense of the word.
