"Once the door of heart, the door of trust and the door of friendship is closed it'll never open again for anyone.."
Above all, once the door of trust and friendship is closed, the door of the heart is also closed, and it will never truly open again for anyone. Trust is the foundation of every meaningful relationship, and when it is broken, it leaves behind a silence that words cannot easily heal. Even if forgiveness is offered, the sense of safety and openness that once existed often fades away. The heart becomes cautious, guarding itself from further pain, and the bond that was once warm turns distant. This does not come from hatred, but from the need to protect one’s peace and self-respect. Therefore, it is important to value trust while we have it, because once lost, it is rarely restored to what it once was.
Happiness is like a guest. It comes into our lives for a little while, makes us smile, and then quietly leaves. We cannot keep it forever, just like we cannot hold on to a guest who must go. Rabindranath Tagore’s short story Athithi (which means "The Guest") shows us this idea in a beautiful way. In the story, a young boy named Tarapada comes to a kind family. They treat him with love, and for a while, everyone is happy. But one day, without telling anyone, Tarapada leaves. He loved being with them, but he could not stay in one place. He wanted to be free. Tarapada is like happiness. He came, brought joy, and left. The story helps us understand that we should enjoy happy moments while they are with us. But when they pass, we should not be sad. Just like a good guest, happiness will come again one day. This teaches us to be thankful for the joy we have, even if it doesn’t last forever.
