Everything's gonna be okay!!

Read title - "Everything's gonna be okay"?
Read it ever before??
Yes, Hundreds of times..
Right?
So what? What's the big deal?
Such a simple and stupid phrase.. everyone knows it.
yes, but soo effective !! No? Think and notice yourself.. 


Ever happened that you are feeling extremely tensed with things going wrong everywhere. You don't know where you are heading, what the hell you are doing and why you are doing all this? Nothing is turning out the way you expected. Every step you are taking seems to be heading a wrong road. Every second thing seems negative. All people seem bad. Their advices seem like preaching to you and you don't wanna listen anymore to them. Consequently, you are irritated with everyone. Almost everyone. You talk bad (at least not good) to them, though unintentionally, but you do. They feel bad and it also adds to situation, making it even worse. So much chaos in mind.. What the hell??
You need peace. You want to come out of the of situation as soon as possible. You need a switch to shut down mind and heart; some medicine to cure all mental woes. Unfortunately, none of the above is invented yet!! There are other ways too like meditation and all, but you won't feel like meditating when you most need it.
You feel like venting out your feelings, though you know very very well that no one, absolutely no one except you has the solution of your situation and that too will take some time. So, You share your tensions to some buddy or loved one say your mother or father. What they will do, when they know very well that you already have tried all the exhaustive solutions. They will just say, "Don't worry beta, everything's gonna be okay" or "sab theek ho jayega". And believe me you will feel like really everything's gonna be okay. It has to be okay, no other go and you are somewhat relaxed now. Its not that they have said anything extraordinary, or anything which you didn't know earlier. Yes, you are mature and intelligent enough to know all this already. You yourself must have said the same to your near and dear ones. But at the time of your need you can't recall this.
But imagine otherwise, same you, same tensions, everything same, but the person who is listening patiently to you, says "What I can say?" or "I don't know what to say", how will you feel? Its not that the person (parents or the loved one with whom you shared) don't love you anymore, or don't care for you anymore. They still understand you as before, but if they fail at the moment to say "Everything's gonna be okay", you will feel as if there was no point of sharing your feelings.
Both situations are same except for this one line, but it will impact your mood drastically, one making you feel better and other making you feel even worse. What's the difference- just this phrase!!


(** I honestly wish you will never ever have to feel so tensed to understand the above post)

good good, conveyed effectively and succinctly. I liked the matter-of-fact way.
However, I must add something, Is is logical to check whether those people, the loved ones, really believe, with appropriate rationale, that "everything gonna be okay". Debatable, or to put it in better way, a question of extent of involvement with the problem-at-hand.

Chandu.

Thanks Shyam.. u r right. But I feel all logics and rationales don't come into hand when we are frustrated. Logically, one statement makes no difference in the situation, problems are still there, just that your attitude of facing problems changes. So, It has nothing to do with involvement of loved ones with the problem at hand, they may not even understand ur situation but they just know that you are in problem and try to soothe you out.
