Well, before I start, I admit that I was extremely scared of Cockroaches. So, much that I used to freeze at the sight of them. But, then something happened at the age of 18, something that blew my fear away out of the window.
It was late at night, 12;00, I think. I went to my drawing room and saw a half-dead cockroach lying on it's back. Seeing the cockroach lying on it's back, I was first overwhelmed by fear and hate. But, then something rose from my Heart, a surge of feelings to save that cockroach's life. After a huge amount of work, I managed to straighten him and it moved. Happy, that it was fine, I left the room and went to sleep.
In the morning, I came to the drawing room once again and I saw the same cockroach lying on the floor dead. At that moment, I was overwhelmed by emotions and I started crying. What made me cry even more was the fact that "The cockroach, a vile insect that is useless and the thing that I hate the most has died even after all my efforts to save it. Yet, I care enough for it to actually cry for it".
After that day, three things happened :-
A) My fear of Cockroaches completely vanished.
B) I realised that Humanity is always greater than Fear and transcends it.
C) I realised that the emotions I had during that moment was like a Divine Revelation, a feeling that I had never felt in my life.
Thanks for reading my Life story, I was just inspired by someone (Sach) to share this.
