I have read a lot about a concept called 'The Tipping Point' in a book of the same name by a really good writer called Malcolm Gladwell. I have come to such a point in my life now I think. It's not so much as a point where change occurs, more like a place where if I don't change the path of my life, I'll go mad. I know that I have written a lot about how IIMK has changed me and all that, but I never thought that change could be like this. I know that it hurts a lot when you cut off a part of yourself and try to become a person who's so completely different from who you are - but then when a lot of things that you hold to be true or self-evident change, you have to change with them. And there's no alternative to that.
So I guess change is the way to go. And yes, it's hard. And it hurts. But then I have done it before. I have dealt with the repercussions of decisions I have made before. And I have lived to tell the tale. Thank God for some friends in the world. They are the anchors of the world I inhabit I guess. But survival doesn't seem to teach me much. I seem to make the same mistakes over and over again. And that's the biggest problem I have as a person who's emotional. I know that I can say I will never make these mistakes again - till the next time. And the next time it will be the same. Blindly trusting, blindly walking into the fire till you're charred beyond recognition. I know that Arians have this characteristic, but still! There has GOT to be an easier way to learn in life than this.
