Life is harsh, from the time we are born, till we die, we go through hardships that no one can understand and explain and feel, other than the person who has lived through it. More often than not, we scar ourselves, bruise ourselves living this life. Some, deeper than others, affecting our lives to such an extent that our day to day activites have changed. From the way we feel waking up or the way we feel going back to sleep. These scars, make us contemplate our future decisions, voluntarily or involuntarily. The individual fears that if they be the way they were or repeat their history, these scars may deepen or worse, new scars are formed.

The individual is often caught between the decision to either choose to think before acting, or act by feeling, following their instinct, their heart, like they did in the past.

How do we choose?
Can humanity be trusted with our bruised life again? Does Humanity deserve another chance with us?

I'd say, yes! The belief is simple, sometimes we have to take a leap of faith first, the trust part comes later. Believe in what we see. We, as a species, have shown time and again that there's more to us than what meets the eye.

What gives a pregnant mother who loses her child, the courage to try again?
What gives a parent the courage to live and strive for his/her kids after losing a spouse?
What gives a broken heart the courage to love again?

I think, it's belief. A strong belief in our thoughts. The belief that in the end, it will all be worth it. That when we leave, we'll leave with a smile and not a frown, that in the end, all that we believed in got us here and it was worth it. That smile we wear, when we realise all this, is golden!
