the speaker: a soothing song

“When the things are not in our way, being positive is the hardest thing. All the goodness it imparts just seems so alien to us that we wonder how did- for once- we thought that positivity in a difficulty is achievable.” the Speaker said with a reassuring voice, when the audience fully immersed in the speech. Thats the way with this guy- the speaker- every where he goes. He is sarcastic not being himself and ambiguous being himself. His speech doesn’t converge to a conclusion but rather diverges audience from any such common ground, arrived conclusively, to make a connection with every aspect of life almost infallibly. He is a counselor with his reassurance and a therapist with his arguments.

But today the subject is one of the hardest, he pronounced himself. And he said, “Its like being foolish enough to be more foolish. When people hardened their hearts- satisfying themselves- you have to kill yourself to take positivity from a situation, so heart-wrecking and mind-blending. You have to be foolish enough not to see the void in the world and even more so humble to admit our folly.”

Don’t you think its an enormous hardship we endure being positive- feeling good about life? To forgive people, to let go things, to let people dismantle our hearts to the least. Yet the Speaker says there is a positive side for our endurance. He continues, “To let go of the poisonous things is healing- healing of our soul, being foolish enough couldn’t see the negativity, not to absorb it- is your biggest gift of life. To forgive people is the greatest token of love and the humility to do so makes you a real human being. Humanity cherish people like you. Humanity so bloody need people like you. You are the people who engulf the emptiness of this world and make it a beautiful place for humanity to live and still survive. If its not for the people like you, humanity so long would have become immoral animals preying on each other.

“Its hard enough to be vulnerable consistently, feeling good about life, everyday- even the day you get beaten up with your life. But believe me, must we go through this heart-break and perseverance to endure the negativity, for the life to open up a secret door of immense happiness, content and a sense of worth-living-for in our lives. We get to know ourselves to the deepest parts of our soul to be a man, altogether- all new.”

Its been like a soothing song for the audience in their ears, comforting their broken hearts, sharing their pain to have hope for life- to be positive. Its not only because they are comforted by his speech but because of the fact that he is one of them- he is one of us.
