The Ripple Effect

Imagine a pond.

The water in the pond is still.

There is no wind.

There are small floating objects on the surface.

Serenity and peacefulness everywhere.

Now imagine an object falling in the midst of the pond.

The falling of the object causes concentric waves.

The ripple effect of the waves is felt all through the pond.

Some of the floating objects get displaced.

This causes agitation and anxiousness.

I was once a floating object that had got displaced.

But this time, I am that object that caused the waves.

I somehow feel sorry for causing all the brouhaha but yet,

As many people wisely informed me,

“You gotta do what you gotta do.”
