A Ghost in us.

A GHOST IN US

What is a "GHOST"? Each and everyone have their own definition. When I asked my mom, she said it's the incarnation of evil. When I asked my dad, he said he don't even think they exist. When I asked my sister she told that it's a spirit of dead ones that appear to fulfill their demands by haunting living ones. And few people tell "I don't believe in things which I don't see ". But I say that there are few things which we can't see; we can only feel; just like love, happiness, loneliness etc. According to me, if anyone question me, I would say a "ghost" is something which haunts you dawn to dusk. It could be anything. Be it a human, a feeling or a memory. We all know that a human can haunt us; even a feeling can. But how can a memory haunt anyone? They do. Yes memories can haunt us. 

            For more clarity, I can tell that those memories that haunt you back are nothing but you mistakes; you haven't done justice to. The mistakes for which you regret are always those which haunts you. Feeling sorry or regretting for something you've done are few of the ghosts which haunts you down until you cry. 

            Everyone commits mistakes knowingly or unknowingly. Nobody is perfect or serene. Correcting your mistakes or not repeating them again are the best ways of not being haunted. So just learn to say sorry and repenting for whatever you've done. Life is momentary. So it's better if we not hold grudges and hate less; love more. A sorry will never eat you up; it instead saves a memory and a relationship. 

            Even I have committed mistakes. In fact many mistakes. I never used to know that I was committing a mistake until somebody warned me. I rectified most of my mistakes. But few others are left undisturbed. Because, sometimes staying silent is better than speaking. Those which I left, haunt me everyday;  or atleast whenever I think about it. 

           We have to just realise one thing: it's not that "The past haunts you", it's "you who haunts your own past". Yes, it's only because of you thinking about what happened earlier; effects you the most. So, stop thinking about past and stop letting your own mistake to haunt you because even the thought of it gives you a guilt feeling and a chill in the spine (just like mine does). You are your ghosts haunting your own memories. 

Live life grudge-free, happy, placid. 

Leave the past, don't let it affect your present; which is the deciding factor of you future. And live in the present, creating beautiful and happy memories. 

With love,
