Yours worst fears always come true

"Your worst fears always come true".
How often does this happen with you? A sense of apprehension, of how and why things can and will go wrong, even when u desire with all your heart that they don't. Your mind paints many different pictures for your discomfort, each bleaker than the previous. But, the most vivid picture is painted of the scenario causing maximum discomfort and anguish, and agonizingly, it often is this reason that turns out to be true.

After overcoming the initial shock, and the few speechless seconds, the first thing that you have to decide is whether to follow your heart or your mind. Often, your mind tells you to do the logical thing. Respond to the situation in a measured way, not forgetting the fact that you are more than likely to have caused the soup you are in. "What's happened cannot be changed, be a man and deal with it" is the vibe u get from up there. The heart, as is its want, is always a bit selfish, after all, its beating inside your body, and wants the best for yourself in all situations. You might well have been majorly responsible for the current situation, but then, you want to make it all right and also, get out of it scot-free.

What you choose to follow, your heart or your mind, may well determine your satisfaction in the end. Choosing the mind may well lead to a major heart break and a feeling of let down, even if u may get the small satisfaction of having done the morally and logically right thing. Choosing the heart, on the other hand, will definitely give you a feeling of high, but that depends on whether the outcome is in your favor or not.


Needless to say, something similar happened to me recently. Without getting into the intricacies of the particular incident- as that'll make for another interesting read, some other day, some other time- lets just say it was something I had been dreading for a couple of days, for no apparent reason, and as is often the case, my worst fears came true. Facing the situation, I have to admit, words started tumbling out of my mouth, which, in retrospect, were not the ones intended or what I wanted to say. I guess, it did seem the correct way that time, but may hurt a lot in the wrong run. Don't know why, but am getting some apprehensions that it'll turn out to be just as bad as i'm dreading it to be. I hope i'm wrong, but then, what was that thing about your worst fears always coming true!!
