I was just watching “AMERICAN TEENS” , it is a documentary cum film about the final year of high school of some students . I liked the movie . it reminded me of my time at the high school . There were two things that caught my attention:
First of all there was a line said at the graduation ceremony at the end of the film. It went something like
“everyone in this gym holds a dream in there hearts, the truth is that some of us will realize our dreams but most of us don’t.”
Its true, Was just wondering why is it that only a few of us realize their dreams? I have seen with my own eyes some of the most hard working guys failing to realize their dreams and their lives falling apart just because of that . Those who go on to realize their dreams, what makes them special? Why does fortune favour them? Why was it only their destiny to realize their dreams? Why can’t each and everyone of us be what they want to? This is so unjust. When I was a kid I used to think that GOD has created us equal, I mean if we lack something he has compensated us by giving a bit extra of something else like if someone is not pretty he/she is compensated by intelligence etc. Now I have come to realize that is not true. This isn’t a just world and it kills me to think like that but it is the truth .
Another reason that got me thinking was a news that I got yesterday. A friend of mine who was with me from 5th to 10th grade committed suicide recently , although I haven’t spoken to him in almost 5 years but the news shattered me , coz I simply can’t understand what will make a youngster commit such a horrific act . we are the youth we are supposed to live life to enjoy life ,youth is supposed to be the most joyful time of our lives ,but yet somehow he lost hope .when I was watching this movie I realized what I experienced just a few years back might just be the cause… shattered dreams , a broken heart. There were a lot of guys who gave up ,didn’t commit suicide but stopped living , hanging out with friends , enjoying life . They suffered because they thought they had a right to live the life the way they wanted to ….. that isn’t the case my friends , life doesn’t pan out the way we want it to , or at least the way we(the unlucky ones) want it to.
The second thing ,something that the cover said, was that
“.....u will watch and thank god that you will never have to live through high school again”
Now I totally disagree with this because regardless of how it turned out to be it was the best time of my life . my closest friends are still those that I made at high school . I will never forget that time and will give anything for that time to return, wont you?
