Sometimes I wonder what if our Milky Way was made of
emotions and not just planets spinning around aimlessly in the airless
darkness. We would never co-exist; that’s the fact. All the love that we share with
each other has transpired into beautiful relationships that we all cherish so
much. If the world is made of people we love, it is also made of people we
despise. It is also made of people who inspire us and people who never retire
from being assholes. In short, the world we live in has been divided into two.
And it’s not a religious divide; it’s not a political divide; neither it’s a
divide of philosophies. In my view, it is a true divide of nature’s choice.
Nature has always chosen wisely when it comes to its own
survival. I’ll just paraphrase Paul Coelho when he quoted on people who were
talking about saving earth, saving trees; this is what trees had to say, “We
don’t need to be saved. The earth will live. Go save yourselves”.
Revisiting the thought of nine planets having nine
different emotions, I wonder what emotion Planet Earth would possess. Is it
Wonder? Pride? Wrath? I’d rather assume Planet Mercury; the one closest to The
Sun would be the most furious one. What if each planet was meant to possess
just one emotion and not more than that? We all can argue that The Sun is
eternally hot. It never cools down. Well, 3000 Kelvin is cooler than 4000
Kelvin. And there are other suns bigger, hotter and cooler than ours. Imaginations
are one thing, and possibilities are another. Just like we can all imagine of
one person who always loves everything, no matter what. But the possibility of
that person existing in real life is scant. Even Dalai Lama doesn’t love
everything. He hates terrorism, poverty, illiteracy and pessimism.
For a person to be pure, he is indeed made of many such
galaxies deeply incarcerated in his soul. It is only a matter of finding the
key to unlock those infinite emotions and that process takes a lifetime. Not
every person unlocks every emotion within. Some die within the person, creating
a wormhole that allows all the dark matters to pass through and annihilate
other emotions conveniently. When the person finds a true soulmate, that’s when
the souls see through the darkness and turn on the “Emergency Lights”. It is
only then; all the true emotions are seen in its purest form. It is like a
spotlight flashed upon the artist performing on the stage. Joy is transformed
into smiles, love is nakedly visible in the glittering eyes, peace is conquered
with union of the souls, anger is dispensed into tears, courage live in their
hearts, while sadness, fear and disgust disappear into darkness when the two
close their eyes and kiss the world they have just embraced.
Most of the times the unlocked emotions play foul and
spoil the relationships. As they are on the verge of convergence with a Black Hole, they turn people into
assholes. The soulfully meaningless conversations don’t matter anymore. The
blissfully useless gifts don’t count anymore. The eternally mindless love
doesn’t exist anymore. I would not blame the person, but I would rather blame
the vulnerability of emotions at certain moments. They are just destined to be ruined.
The nature will take its course. The tides will rise again. The flowers will
blossom again. The Black Hole-turned-asshole will be a fine soul once again. It’s
the optimism that keeps the world alive and kicking. And just imagine the
Infinite Galaxies of Emotions full of optimistic creatures in it. Voila!
