Loss

"Loss" can be defined in various context: In a competition, In telecommunication, In Physics, In Life. In most cases "loss" has a negative connotation to it and in some cases it brings happiness, joy, hope and a new life.

In the past months I’ve come across various people who experienced loss in one way or another: being runners up in a national tournament; miscarriage; death; breakup; divorce; possession; weight etc...

For the one who lost 35kg, it is relief from harsh words and sarcasms from suitors, for the one who had a miscarriage, it is sadness and hope for another child, for the ones who lost their child through suicide, its grief and seeking for a closure, for the one who lost her soul mate to another woman, its anger and confusion.

The loss of communication lines and devices has put many's lifes in a temporary halt. It took one such incident to wake me from my complacent state. I remember tears rolling down my cheeks and thoughts of losing my father creeping in as I drove to the hospital that evening, my family had been trying to reach me since noon. Its only when I left that dungeon I work in that I received the messages, missed calls and messages on missed calls (courtesy of M1).

Someone once told me that angels do exist and that I was his and I lift his spirits up. That was the nicest thing he has ever told me; not even when we were together, an irony isn’t it? Why is it so difficult to move away from thoughts of some no matter how hard one tries? Like how Friction (Force that opposes motion) doubles when the Force acting on it doubles, I suppose the impact of losing 2 people of similar character one after another (for different reasons) doubles and one’s resilience to that impact decreases by half.
