Why do people feel empty?

July 2025; 2:52 am) Humans are... what are we? A species, believed to  be on higher level of hierarchy than others? A species which can build pretty much everything going as far as making AI and even elements of nature ? Despite all the development, understanding and growth, we still lag far behind in everything and seem to be getting emptier day by day. Isn't that ironic!  We are developing technologies but can't develop ourselves!  We are upgrading our lives but can't help feeling helpless and forlorn! We are striving to be the better version of ourselves, to improve daily but are we ! Are we developing? Are we upgrading? Are we the better versions of us?  How? In what way?  In what respects are we becoming better as a nation, culture, society and most importantly, an individual? The things to be known, are known to everyone. The values, the beliefs, goods and bads, rights and wrongs... as if what is left to know! The same story, the same concepts are repeated...

What is love? If the opposite of love is hate, then I surely know what hate is! I know what is it like to hate something, to hate someone, some idea, thought or belief. I know how irritating that feels, how by your actions it represents itself, how someone's behavior, talking pattern and such things can easily show if they hate someone. I can sense it around me, most of the times.

But love! I don't know if such a thing like love actually exists.

All the negative emotions, I definitely know most of them- anger, jealousy, hate, I know how they all feel. But calmness, empathy and love, honesty, goodness, helpfulness- these terms are so vague to me, to my personality, mind and character that they seem to come and go through as if they were just passerby. 

There are times that I feel that YES, this is what love is- family, friends, loved ones, being with them, caring for them- if all those things we do and the moments we share is not love, then what else is !

While I am writing this, this above mentioned belief , seems to take it's footing - a step deeper and suddenly I feel that the reason I started writing all this was for nothing. 

What I wanted to say when I started to write this article was that, that the idea of hate is so deeply engraved in our hearts that the idea of positive thoughts and emotions every now and then, feel vague. That this hate and all the other negative emotions are so much all over the surroundings that in our darkest, deepest moments and thoughts, all our mind can process is hate, fear, struggle, restlessness, inferior and being lowly. 

But on second thought(why not the first one though), maybe I am more surrounded by goodness around me, empathy, care, compassion, support, honesty all around because of which while I was writing about how hate prevails; ;my inner being kept pushing all those words which were supposedly  the synonyms of  love!

But is this the case with everyone ? I know right! it's not. How many people are as lucky as I am? How many people are thinking about negatives but can't help thinking positives?

I know that... I don't know actually. 

I don't know what it feels to actually hate someone, to actually feel hopeless, restless, breathless. All I can think of right now is that whenever I felt these emotions...even if I don't know the definition, but those emotions were not because of Hate , they were definitely because of Love!

But still...since at least maybe I know the definition of hate, does anyone know and can tell what love is?

The tension in the air...

-
 Is it only me or there seems to be a lingering tension, all the time in the everywhere nowadays. Wherever we are, be it home, school, college, work, vacation..., there seems to be something around, always which feels suffocating in some or other way.  We seem to be laughing, enjoying, doing activities which actually make us feel lighter and happier, but in the end there seems to be something, some gap which is not filled by the people around us, something which is broken but not able to regain its form inside of ourselves.  Amidst all the chaos, positives and progress, there seems to be a inner self which feels always compromised and broken, which is suffocating inside. It feels like everyone is struggling, everyone is feels strangles but no one, no one says something about this suffocation to anyone- as if knowing it already that nothing's gonna get well even if told something to someone, to one another.  What is this which feels like a chain, a chain we all are at...

A Hope Forever...

  A Hope Forever… When I first got the call to be a part of Pehchaan The Street School, to be honest I was excited- as it was going to be my first official writing job not because it was some noble deed I was going to do. When I attended the induction meeting, I realized the depth this whole thing carried. And when I first wrote about Pehchaan The Street School, I didn’t know that each word would connect me a little more deeply and start to resonate deeper with time. Its spirit of hope, light and learning is something which has always motivated me in some or other ways.   I started writing with volunteering as my topic. As it was first time for me to volunteer as a content writer for an NGO, I thought it would be nice if my thoughts resonate with those who are willing to but hesitating to be a part of this cause. I, for sure, had not started writing for the noble cause but as I said- for each word I wrote, it started to resonate deeper with time. So, "Volunteerin...
