Chapter 5: The First Bullet

 

Everything is impossible, until its made possible. We have to go through life, we cannot go around it, above it or below it. It’s just like swimming through the river of life, against the current. The one who swims with the current, gets washed away. To reach the other side, we will have to take the first step. The one who initiates, is the one in the fore front, is the one who takes the bullet, is the martyr. The bridge across the river is constructed later on, for people to walk through, drive through and comment how easy it is to cross, to go to the other side. No one remembers the one who made it possible. Such martyrs are un sung heroes, who don’t want to blemish the glory of their martyrdom, in exchange for a memoir, an inauguration stone that fades with time.

People who trod the untrodden, making ways in jungles, getting lost in sea storm, swimming against the current, enduring others’ non sense, are the torch bearers, worth following. So are you the one? Are you ready to take the first bullet?
