Lies in Hell..!

Hell.. That's unpleasant and unwelcome, above all morbid!

So yesterday right after taking a shower, I was hugged by chilling cold winds and my teeth chattered.. "Ooooh... Who says only fire is deadly, cold is killing too..."

We have always heard people say narak ki agni, dozakh ki aag. Why hasn't anyone used the phrase dozakh ki barf or narak ki thand?

Ok stop laughing, seriously.. Why do we always link rage, heat and fire to hell when in truth silence, cold and snow can be just as fatal?

We have witnessed many times that people die of extreme heat and extreme cold. Doesn't that prove my point? 

If war is an act of rage, isn't the silence in the houses of the martyrs chilling? If violence is unbearable, aren't the dumb spectators intolerable too? If riots and rioters threaten law and order, doesn't the silence of million others, just sitting and watching result to unlawfulness as well?? 

If the cruelty that happened with the people of Manipur left us speechless, isn't the inactivity of the police and government suffocating too??

When anger leads to heated arguments, tussles and huge fights, they result in disrespect and distance. When cold behaviours lead to ignorance and voicelessness, they result in dejection and detachment. Both scenarios tear relationships apart.

Like the saying goes 'Too much is too bad', too much heat burns our bodies starting from outside and too much cold stiffens our muscles and freezes our breath from within.

For now, it feels as if everything told to us about what lies in hell, was all lies!!

So I'd like to believe that hell isn't just about a huge pot of hot boiling oil that we will be fried in or the massive flames of fire waiting to devour us. I guess there may be a corner which is designed to freeze us to death (after death), the falling temperature and its winds awaiting to swallow us. My words are creating a landscape in my mind right now.

One can never know or tell where he or she has gone, if at all there was a means to know where our loved ones are...

In any case, let's all just make sure to be elements of the earth (not hell) by being warm and breezy.. Our warmth may unexpectedly give someone a beautiful memory to take. Our pleasant behaviour may be a reason for someone to smile or just feel better..

Remember we are all on different journeys with struggles curated especially for us, let's not make others' journey tough or painful. After all, why scatter thorns when we can't afford roses ourselves??

If this can make the world a little less brutal and a little more favourable, I bet it'd be worth a try.. And you're still free to share your version of hell with me.. Let's get hell brainstorming!!

CHEERS!!

GOD BLESS!
