Tunnel Not Cave


Hey! Have you ever - while going through life-had those phases where you felt somehow that your entire life was like a cave? That is; no matter what you do, not matter how hard you try and most importantly no matter how good your intentions, everything just turns out wrong? Almost feels like no matter how hard you try, you just run into a wall with no hope going back.
Well if you haven't then I have. The last few days have been just crazy. Every time I feel I wanna do something right, everything just happens to go wrong and the people whom I've been trying to help just get more hurt at the end of the day despite my good intentions. I feel as if I'm a cave and that no matter how fast I run, I just end up crashing into a wall of problems. Now most people around me are hurt and accuse me of being wrong when in reality I was trying to help them out all along.
Parents are pissed off at me for something my sister did and now all of a sudden the hero becomes the villain. I remember a dialogue from "The Dark Knight" quoted by Aaron Eckhart. ' You either die a hero or live long enough to become the villain'.
A couple of days ago a brother of mine went back to Punjab after visiting me in Delhi. This guy is not perfectly sane person by nature. When he went home, he tells everyone - most of my relatives- that I've been gossiping about them and saying all sorts of bull about them. This couldnt be further from the truth though because I've been praising people in Punjab and trying my best to get those people to love this idiot brother of mine. When the people heard him, they believed him and now everyone hates me. It's sad I know but it's the truth and now I'm stuck trying to clear my name. Silly life!
