A Ferrari on Two Wheels

Wondering what this is! It’s kind of a story that led me to ponder an aspect of life. This is one of the disadvantages of becoming a writer – you tend to get deep into every topic you read, every video you watch, and so on.

There was a beautiful, smart, middle-class ‘regular’ woman. We all know what middle-class means; we are poor, yet not that poor. We dream but never dare to think about turning them into reality. We are too occupied in our daily routine – managing our chores, earning, and more importantly, regulating our expenses, that our dreams only find time when say, we are traveling by bus, or taking a bath, or brushing our teeth. Moving on, our good-looking lady locked eyes with a handsome, rich guy and got to drive his Ferrari. I don’t know what happened to their ‘love story,’ but the driving didn’t really end well J. Overexcited and overwhelmed, she accelerated the car to unimaginable high speeds.  We can say the car was literally on two wheels, and then, of course, static on four wheels!

There comes a stage when we stop expecting the unexpected, and when it happens, we do react in ‘unexpected’ ways. Being excited and enthusiastic is a good sign, but overexcitement might lead us to respond inappropriately. We must know when it is time to believe what happened, calm down, and switch gears. This is nothing but a way to exercise self-control and restore balance in life.

Life is a beauty, bearing all sorts of marvelous gifts. We must take time to cherish them and not rush through to take out the fun off them ultimately!!

Miracles do happen; let’s build the character to experience them thoroughly!
