Giving Up!
Smile on his face, as he took every step. His soul had no bearings, his body so weightless as if he was not carrying it and his eyes seemed as complete as they weren’t in any search.
Sun setting behind those tall towers of bricks, horns, the loud pitch of the vendors, and the laughter of kids mixing with some street music and silencers of vehicles played as background music.
I know one can’t be this peaceful and satisfied because it wasn’t added in human traits to be satisfied and happy when created. Troubles were gifted to each of them with their birth and went to his grave at the end. So yes this “how” for such a human is mandatory and quite reasonable.
With every step he took, he gave up his worries. He kept walking and converted his responsibilities into duties as he took a turn. He realized that love was infinite; it doesn’t change wherever you are. So his chase for love was over too. He collided with a man accidentally and he knew that complaining was aimless as troubles are like bumps on the road; the road of life. He apologized and continued to walk with the same smile. He gave up to seek for happiness because he learned that it was found within. He gave up on the failures because he read it somewhere that they assist success.
He stopped by the tea shop. Watching the tea brewed, he gave up on the lies just the way fumes of tea were in the cup. Because he knew they brought long-lasting guilt. He sipped the tea realizing to give up on people too as they were just the lessons just like the first hot sip. He finished and paid as he walked to the main road he gave up on himself, as that was an unending worry.
And when he gave up, God took it.
He knew that this giving up was an undefeatable win for all worries, problems, and sadness because they were in the care of God.
He was richer than the gold smith, the landlord who owned a land worth multiple palaces, and a business man who had an empire with uncountable money.
It was just a smile that gleamed on his face as he walked in the middle of the road. Nodded his head, kicking the pebble, he disappeared with a glance at the sun, with a true belief that it will rise again.
