When a few moments ago, she burst into loud laughter,
People around her thought, she is blissfully happy.
What you don’t know, is that the night before, she has spent sobbing, for her lost mother.
She married the guy of her parents’ choice,
All of their friends thought, she ditched him for a better guy.
What you don’t know, is that the guy never agreed for a committed relationship, it was she who kept relying on him, thinking her love will make him think otherwise.
She entered into room as if she owns it,
Stirring the souls around her, making them feel nervous.
What you don’t know, is that she don’t want you to look into her eyes and know about her anthropophobia.
Tears welled up in her eyes while reading an email,
Everyone looked at her with sympathy, thinking that she might have received a break up apology from her partner.
What you don’t know, is that she has been finally admitted to her dream university on a scholarship for masters.
She was crowned as the Most Desirable women of the country,
The young crowd looked at her with awe and wonder.
What you don’t know, is that she was left outside a church, an undesirable girl child, by her own parents.
She was being prosecuted for the murder of her husband.
The angry mob was pelting stones on her for the heinous crime, they thought she had committed.
What you don’t know, is that she caught her husband trying to rape their 10-year-old daughter, to protect her child, she took the life of the man she once loved.
PS: Don’t ever judge people on your assumptions,never ever. You can never understand someone’s struggle or story until you wear their shoes.
I learned this fact this year, of not judging anybody. There are situations beyond anybody’s control.

Beautiful. Everyone is fighting battles that we do not have any clue about. We may make assumptions and judgement but the truth is far from what we know. Well penned, NJ..

Thank you so much Parul 🙂 So true 🙂 prejudice isn’t a good thing 🙂 We are rarely right in our assumptions 🙂 that’s why make judgements only when you know some inside out 🙂

Worth reading, understanding and implementing this in life…
Many times we came across so many things in life – we understand it as well but afraid to implement it just because what people will think about it and here we loose.
I believe we should never think twice before implementing about anything that is good because many times second thought that strikes in mind is negative and a smell of fear which stops us from doing the best thing we can..
So listen to your heart – take decision and make it right instead of wasting time in thinking and planning..
It is always said “Excess planning kills the action”
Very much TRUE !!

Thank you so much Vishal for taking out time to read my work 🙂 Prejudice does more bad then good, So better make your own choices irrespective of what others say 🙂 and Now you took the topic to a new direction 😀 I never thought someone can take it to this topic 😉 but as you said too much time devotion to planning of events , takes away the essence of event 🙂 or life 🙂 Great thoughts 🙂
