The most uncertain thing in life is a transition phase.
Especially if it’s an unclean transition where you are either stuck in the past or you are not 100% sure where you would end up in the future.
It’s a phase that makes you uncomfortable and gives you sleepless nights.
But the world doesn’t care for you in this phase. The indifferent world carries on as if nothing has changed and everything is going as per plan. It is at this moment that you realise, that an individual is truly alone.
We talk about group structures – families, organisations etc. But they only exist superficially. At the true core, everyone of us is left to fend for themselves as per one’s own mental and physical capacities.
If you happen to voice out how trapped you feel, you would be seen as chickenhearted.
Maybe because all of us have unconsciously accepted that feelings of uncertainty should be bottled up, and that it is not nice to be honest about such feelings to the world outside an individual.
Maybe because other individuals are also going through their own uncertainties and transitions and that’s bothering them at the moment. They simply do not have enough mental capacity to process your discomfort.
It’s like when you stand at a traffic junction and you see a beggar. You don’t start thinking about their life-how dependent they are, how things have been unfair for them and how could anyone go through this misery of living on the streets and asking strangers for money for food.
You simply roll down your window, give them some change and wait for the light to turn green; so that you can go back to your home, prepare coffee and snacks for yourself, sit on your bed, open your laptop and write a blog about – how uncertainties and transitions make you nervous, how life has been unfair to you and that nobody cares for you.
