Corridor was representing a huge variety of patients, many were diagnosed with heart issues, some with lung, others with liver, and many others with plenty of other diseases. The most common thing among them was hope-hope to return, hope to live again the same life, with the same zeal and devotion. Although they were suffering from financial crisis and other difficulties associated with life, disease had made them realize that even a healthy life was a great blessing. They may have felt a sense of regret for all the things they had done in the past. Their continuous shaking of the head, along with uplifting their head towards the sky, was a silent act, but they might be asking God for at least one more chance to live.
Many of them would have been blessed with another chance, and vice versa. The chance to live again has criteria only God knows. Suppose a patient who was in serious condition, blessed with another chance. What will he be feeling? He will be feeling amazingly blessed and lucky enough to get another chance to survive. He may have promised many things to God, like he will be just, fair, and truthful in his upcoming doings. In the early days of his new life, he may be very conscious of his doings. Slowly, the days will progress to weeks, weeks to months, and months to years. This passage of time also takes the feeling to be just and fair. The feeling slowly overlays with other feelings of responsibilities, mundanity, and plenty of other excuses. The patient with a new life forgets his promise. The promise goes blurry in the dust of time.
This is human nature; whenever they are under serious circumstances, they usually claim many worldly things, promise many commitments, and later on, just excuse and move away. Similar is the case for emotional moments of our lives. The time when we left our old school, the time we left our college, and the university. Such moments have a temporary control over the human mind. This control is always influenced by the extent our mind is exposed to a moment. The school we left later on was replaced by the college, that further replaced by a university. The emotional moments usually last until another moment rules over our minds. This is how the kingdom of mind works and survive.
I usually advise people not to be too promising while attending such moments. The present moment does not know the future, and the future does not care about what was the moment that passed. This limited emotional stability often results in many promises that have no future reality. The attitude must not be rigid, like it’s natural to love and feel sad while leaving the place where someone has spent plenty of years, but limited promises will keep you safe from future comparison. When we try to analyze our personality, we usually think about our past promises and actions. If someone has promised something too unrealistic, then after sixty years, when he will be analyzing the best time spent, he will find nothing, because he always used to promise at the end of every phase.
