All Good Things Come To An End.
Well the first thing that comes to your mind when you hear this is "Why the hell should it?"
I mean really what is the logic behind it. Its certainly not something anyone is going to appreciate. Who would want to let go of anything that's even remotely good when the chances of anything good happening is almost always zilch. And what really comes out of it , the good thing that comes to an end ? Nothing really. It just makes you feel down in the dumps and takes you ages to get back to normal and again you have bouts of bad times. So really whats so good about good things not lasting long ?
Maybe its because then you really appreciate the good things that happen to you later on. Well you know the getting perspective thing.Well I thought about it and then decided well that's crap.Why would we want to lose something good to realise that it is good ? Well I am missing the point there.And also assume we appreciate the goodness later on, so then what ?Are those same good things going to zoom back in to our lives patting us on the head and saying "Oh baby finally you realised i was good" ? Not really right. So really what is the point?
The other school of thought is of course the "you are destined for better things". Well obviously anyone who has a brain the size a little larger than pea will know that this is a statement fabricated for the sole purpose of making you feel better about whatever that went wrong. And really every time they say that, the little devil in you pokes fun at you saying "Deserve better things, my sweet bottom, you could not even nail this " and as you guessed it right, it makes you a feel a tad lower.
But I think personally I will take the "deserve better " thoery simply because it would give me the eternal elixir of hope and will help me out of my bed every morning.It would enable me to look down upon everything that did not happen to me and well give a stifled laugh thinking "Laugh all you can.. better things are happening to me". That's really a boost ain't it?
So ideally, if the world I am living in is anything like utopia then I would never want the good things to come to an end. But shockingly as the world we live in is not even remotely related to utopia, like not even great grand father's niece's husbands' uncle's really hot cousin, I prefer to think that I am destined for a better things , a better life.
So the motto is Good things move aside, Grand things are on their way :-)

Very thin story-wise,
nice one to read,
something to ponder upon the next time i rest my back on the greens,
some masala elements would have made it a perfect 10...;)....
Verdict : Above Average
Rating : 9.00
I donno why but i seemed lost...till I read the last line.
Always believed the same :-)
hmmmm so i can safely say this is not in the romantic genre :-)
'Are those same good things going to zoom back in to our lives patting us on the head and saying "Oh baby finally you realised i was good" ?'--very funny :-)
This is exactly what i would like to believe....there are better things coming our way!!!
Good one !!!
Wow.. this seems to have been written with a looooot of thought and just flowed. Can’t agree with you better man. It really makes us think?.. after all what in the name of freaking hell does this statement “ All good things come to an end” mean? and hey I cant help but notice the difference between the heading and the last line.. it was a nice way to rewrite the statement “ All good things come to an end”
Its not nice for the good things to end and maybe that’s the unfair part of life which one just has to go ahead and chewing the crappy cud like a cow, the worst part being you can never swallow it.. And coming to think of it I would also take the “deserve better theory” solely for the zest of hope we should carry. After all that’s what life is all about right? And lets just say we should let by-gones be by-gones especially when the good things are actually gonna drive is further into a dark bottomless pit then they are not “good things” actually they are things one shouldn’t be thinking about and forcing themselves out of the whole issue.
I loved the ending where you clearly drove the very point you were trying to make throughout “I prefer to think that I am destined for a better things , a better life”.. there is one helluva hope here. Well written buddy I liked the way you dealt with the whole issue. You drove the point straight without beating around the bush and gave us the naked truth. Really well written..
Good one...but better blogs are possible! lolz..kidding...
he he...
Of all the pessimists I have seen so far, you have got to be the first person to make me smile.
Generally, I put up an argument at all these places, but, you have pretty much summed up all the arguments I have could have put forward. Will come bk with more research info later...

A thought provokin one!! "All gud things come to an end". Well can't agree much on dis..
But i like d way u went abt d whole thing!! Summin up in d end was good..My two cents fr Good things move aside, Grand things are on their way :" Absolutely true n dis height of optimisim s very much needed.Right on d nose niv!!
I felt d start little bit contradicted some points u went on to mention..Otherwise d whole shebang was a nice walk !!:)
very nice post...and quite funny too...
1> good things give way to gr8 things is not quite rational for obvious reasons like they are not mutually exclusive etc...
2> i dont understand y U(of all ppl) insist that there shld be a reason. things are the way they are bcos its jus that way....
3> my take on this is....good things come to an end bcos bad things do... ;-)
Deserve better things, my sweet bottom... ha ha ha.. funny..
Well someone is clearly in love with their bottom..
Hey I guess almost all of us missed that title huh?.. I kept thinking of it as "All good things come to an end".. Yours !(not)(Forever).. Boyy I didnt relaize it till now.. Nice heading man.. it takes a lot of thought to come up with such a creative heading... especially with the usage of exclamation mark.. awesome.. :).. Maan we are so dumb.. I dont think any of us figured it out..
Accepted that things seem bleak when shit happens. However consoling is not an option. The reason being nothing in this world is worth your tears. The things that matter will not make you cry and the things that make you cry will not matter.
However when there is a situation where a person is told that there are better things, this is just to make the person realize that this time it is not worth the effort. When they say that better things are on the way, all they are saying is that i have nothing else to say and i do not know what to say. so i say this. the best is to let the person discover it for themselves and then let them find out that shit happens. it need not have to happen for a reason. but it does happen. however one cannot lose sleep over it. one has to take the broader picture. one cannot miss the forest for fear of the trees.
Not sure what i am trying to say as usual.
@Aditya
Is that not consoling in itself ?THat one souldnt lose sleepver it. Just that its not from others, rather from us.But thats the only way out. Tell yourself to not cry over spilt milk and move on. ruddy life moves on.
From my rather limited understanding of whatever we call 'life', it's not a straight path; you walk, but you do not lay the roads on which you walk; you get the food, but you do not get to choose it, it's your life, but it is affected by so many parameters that setting up the equations and solving them is not exactly something you can do on a sleepy Sunday afternoon. Good things don't last. Bad things don't last. Nothing lasts. Don't ask me what is good and bad next, that something you define.
It's true that when someone tells you 'you are destined for better things' most people say it to make you feel better. They don't know you well enough to know, but they care, and that makes them to come out with something so cheesy.
But when you say that to yourself, what's talking is your faith in yourself and your ability to grapple with whatever that road of yours has in wait for you. It is real, it is true. So, that is something which ever a dyed-in-the-wool pessimist like me thinks and believes in!
PS: Very late comment, I know, but I'm reading a lot of your older posts only now, and thought this one needed a comment!
