Standing by the side

Frustration is an expression that is fraught by despair, anger and helplessness. Despair on how things don't work within your domain of dominance, anger within ones own self for its inability to decipher the reasons of the things not working, and helplessness about the unknown forces that are at work.

For some time, I have been caught up in this whirlwind. It feels like i have been in this place since ever. Nothing makes sense. Logic does not give me a reason and thinking over it makes me frustrated. I feel I am caught in a spot where I cannot step backwards, nor move forward and standing in the same place is something that I want to avoid. Thats when good old advise came in from an old acquaintance. Step to the side!

Now, I am standing by the side, looking at life as it passes by. Waiting for my time, the right time. As the old man said, when a strong wind blows in a direction opposite to the way you are running, it will slow you down, consume your energy and break your spirit. Instead hold on. Let time pass, the wind will slow down, and when it does, use the energy you saved to sprint the long run of life.
