You cannot change the world overnight?

“The world is an evil place.
Because of their cruelty
I am a miserable person,
And it’s very foolish to assume that
It’s all in my mind
We everyone
Lies,
About the truth
The world
Decides
Who
I am
And I want to live this way where,
Sadness
Kills
Happiness
I believe that,
The surroundings are controlling me
And I will never ever think that
The world is a beautiful place. “
I thought to myself as I stared out of the window into the dreary scene. The clouds looked like airy anvils drifting under the gleaming disc of the Sun. Faint splattering sounds came from outside, hissing as lightning struck the sky. I could see the curtain of rain on the other side of the window.
My mind was behaving like a dragon, flying horizons in few seconds, breathing fire and burning down the few remains of optimism.
I don’t think, I am the only one whose thoughts races towards darkness, hatred or pessimism when he/she is a victim of heart-break or solitude or pain. There are circumstances which forces us to take some decisions, maybe right maybe wrong. I think these decisions which we make solely depend on how we perceive those circumstances, how we see the things.

I am not giving any dose of wisdom, I am just telling to turn on your indicators and change the direction of your thinking, and you will eventually experience serendipity.
Even this dude, Shakespeare once quoted,” There is nothing either good or bad but thinking makes it so”
This tells that the philosophical stuff which I am talking about now is being known since early 15th century. So, why people are still becoming supreme judges of their life and sentencing themselves to misery? Why people start relating the lyrics to themselves whenever they listen to sad songs? Why there is ephemeral happiness? Why the world is so evil? Why Why Why?
My mind was whirling with the storm of thoughts. Just then, the pleasant, dewy petrichor of the post-rain caught my attention. I could see the iridescent sky.  The sky was getting cleared up and so were my thoughts. I realised how oblivious I was all these years of my life. If only I could have reversed my perspective from the beginning, I would certainly have changed my last twenty-years!
