Belonging

Everyone in this world belongs somewhere, to someone, to somebody or to something. Everyone has a reason to have been born; to be given that shot at life. For some, it may take a very long time to find that reason, while others, they may just be born with it. 
But what if you lose your way? What if a day comes when the world doesn't make sense anymore?

There are many people down that road, and sometimes, you may walk among them. In the midst of this, that sense of belonging is our salvation. Every living soul needs to be needed, wants to be wanted and loves to be loved. Any denial of the above statement is just a contradiction of one’s heart’s true desire, because, this is what makes us human.

A famous and noted author, Mr. Rabindranath Tagore once wrote, “Who belongs to whom in the world?” making it immensely clear that the feeling of belonging is just an illusion, an excuse for the heart to find hope.

I believe he was wrong. Every man belongs to the ideas, people or things that have shaped and influenced his existence. He owes it to them to lead a better life; to make a difference. Moreover, he belongs to the world, for his mere existence is an episode of significance.
