How Kushal Fought Against The Torture By Fate


Kushal, a young man in early thirties, used to live in a small village in West Bengal bordering Bangladesh. He was known for his kindness, compassion, and unwavering determination to fight against the torture of fate.

Kushal had been through many hardships in his life. From losing his parents at a young age to facing poverty and adversity, he had seen more than his fair share of struggles. But through it all, he never lost hope or gave up on his dreams.

One day, as Kushal was walking through the village, he came across a group of villagers gathered around a street performer. The performer was a storyteller who captivated the listeners with tales of bravery, wisdom, and magic.

How The Power Of Hope Changed Amit's Life

As the sun rose over the horizon, casting a golden glow across the countryside, the small town of Ranipur began to stir. Birds chirped cheerfully in the trees, and the residents went about their daily routines with a sense of purpose and hope in their hearts.

One such person was Amit, a young man with big dreams and even bigger aspirations. He had grown up in Ranipur, a place where opportunities were scarce and success seemed like an unattainable dream. 

But Amit refused to let his circumstances define his future. He believed in the power of hope, in the idea that no matter how bleak things may seem, there is always a glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel.

The Benefit Of Giving Up Hope

Losing all hope was freedom.” ~Edward Norton in Fight Club

My latest realization is just opposite to what I have been believing through-out my life, up until now, and it is: Stop hoping and fearing, let the things happen as they are, but handle every unfolding situation with as much positivity as you can.

Once we stop, hoping and fearing - that we do every minute about everything in life and waste our mental energy - and let the flow of life takes us to the pre-determined destination, the nectar of peace and happiness starts filling our body, mind and soul. 

I completey agree with what Dr. Jessica Del Pozo has written in her eye-opening article 'The Benefits of Giving Up Hope' published in 'The Psychology Today' - "Hopelessness may help you stop trying to control everything. Hopeless may be a doorway to change as you trust the space left once you give up hope that this particular thing you want will get better. Maybe hopelessness happens just before a revolution."

She adds further - 
"Four Potential Down-Sides to Hope:
1.Hope can come loaded with expectations, expectations that are actually premeditated resentments.
2. Hope can be a way to avoid feeling something painful, preventing us from feeling sadness, thus keeping us stuck under its warm blanket.
3. We can cling to hope and even become addicted to it, preventing us from taking action toward something new.
4. Hope can be a shiny lacquer masking fear and uncertainty, attempting to restore a false sense of control."

In my opinin: Our hope for a great future or the fear of a dreadful time ahead is not going to make it that way. Because, things will happen as they are supposed to. So keep taking actions, while facing every life developments without hope and fear, and leave the rest onto the hands of Destiny.

However, there is nothing wrong in pursuing our dreams, since hope is a feeling of expectation for a particular thing to happen and dream is a cherished ambition.
