The magical formula is to ignore

Inkling of an unknown future was the reason for my discomfort.

I could hear a continuous tap from somewhere. I tried to chase it. I knew this was an indication from the skies above. I was waiting for something unknown to turn out soon. Suspicion was building up. Is it for my good as it has rarely been? Will I finally get the thing I always dreamed of? Am I getting a lottery? Or Will I be recognized as the ‘Happiest’ person of all?

My struggle to understand the sign was on the rise, and the regularity of the knocks kept mounting. Probably this was a warning for something hideous. This thought dazed my belief. I became more inquisitive. More I strived to sense it, more strained I became. Am I going to loose someone precious? Am I destined to meet an accident? What is going to happen next…? I wanted to know the future. And those beats were becoming more frequent.

Followed my thoughts, wandered with them place to place, explored every corner, added every fragment I could to finish the endeavor. Distress kept ascending. The fight seemed endless. I was not able to understand a bit. This was hurting!

The unanswered and discouraged essence decided to give up. With the sense of “let it be the way it wants to be”, I moved on. Though, the curiosity to look for the future never left me. Time ran off without much soreness. Nothing out of the ordinary, no good no bad, ever happened till a moment...

The moment, when I completely forgot those knocks. I recognized a fact.. that a few thoughts and events, sometimes, are best only if remain unobserved.

It was all so even after that moment. As if all the knocks, beats and taps got muted forever. The indication had no indication.

Sometimes we dig pitfalls for ourselves and get trapped in vicious circles of thoughts. Decoding such natural signs encrypted in the most secretive languages is not possible for us. We as humans rarely have the power to do so. We give importance to things which just have to happen and can never be jumped over. So instead of killing time by being trapped, we should develop an instinct to recognize such hollow signs and let them go without prying with the nature. If not good, such events would at least never bring any bad, if ignored.

So why be so serious… Ignore if it is not giving happiness, as says the magical formula.
