“Shayak was just loving to talk to Chitra long after their divorce.” ( Shayaker bhalo laagchhilo bichchder atodin por Chitrar songe katha bolte.) — that’s how the short-story The Fly-away Bird by Sanjib Singha ends.
We know neither Chitra nor Shayak; however we do know many a couple like them – those who are divorced but neither have lost love nor respect to the man or the woman whom a temporary, apparently non-negotiable turmoil forced towards an estrangement. In most of the cases we find either eternal human polygamic characteristic or addiction towards the fatal, inibriating liquor apart from the psychological disorders or accidents, are responsible for the whole unwanted event. Strangely enough, the responsible half quits the cause after the divorce.
Our mind runs inquisitive – then why not do it before the divorce. I personally feel that during that period of mental transition wrath and revenge take control of our ego and we start playing with ourselves without realizing it that we are playing with one non-existent factor or someone who is literally a Better-half. Again to quote and translate from the story, “Anger is a kind of power. The most of human beings never use this power for anything good. An enormous power lurks within LOVE, with the strength of which man dares even denying the social customs. Likewise in anger lurks a huge power. Man makes this power the determinant driving force to fight his life and in doing so in most of the cases strikes on the wrong points. At least so far he has been doing it. Isn’t every fight, however small, the misuse of anger?” Though the author’s explanation ends with a physical interrogation, nothing can be more assertive than it to conclude.
Actually growing older inculcates in us a more complex ego which in turn also gets inflexible and shrunk. Every twisting corner of life appears to be a fight and our ego wants to win them all, however small and unnecessary; northing else encompasses our minds but this win and we have learnt to win mostly through anger. When won, the cause the relevance, the pride, the domination vanishes because the ego is satiated, satisfied and gratified.
The fallacy in the whole process rests in the fact that the gratifying moment of winning this prolonged battle is a very short-lived one. When the cloud of avenging ego disperses, the lost rays of love shower compassion on both the oppressor and the oppressed.
Remember, dear friends, life is also a holy war where only the truth of love wins. So, come all!!!! Set the word understanding free from the blemishes of ‘compromising’ and splash it with the hues of the eternal truth of LOVE. After all, in life, love and hate collide to create a fission that produces resultant energy unparalleled. It is solely your choice whether to use it to satiate a momentary gratification of your ego or your humane soul.
