COWARDS ARE WINNER

The history of our planet “Earth” is full of heroes and heroism. There is long list of Knights and the stories of their chivalry and people always appreciate and seem impressed by these heroes and Knights. The braveness is considered the key of success and there is no doubt that power, courage and strength always appreciated.
After writing some words for the bravery and brave people, I would like to quote a poem “SUCCESS IS COUNTED SWEETEST” by: Emily Dickinson (1830-1886)

SUCCESS is counted sweetest
By those who ne'er succeed.
To comprehend a nectar
Requires sorest need.

Not one of all the purple host
Who took the flag to-day
Can tell the definition,
So clear, of victory,

As he, defeated, dying,
On whose forbidden ear
The distant strains of triumph
Break, agonized and clear.
The poetess is of the opinion that no doubt victory is very much important for the person who won the title of the battle and holding a flag of victory in his hand, but if somebody wants to understand the true explanation and importance of victory then he should concern the solder who lays down his life to achieve the title of victorious but inspite of all his efforts remains fail to achieve the title. In other words “victory” is much important for the dying solder as compare to the victorious solder.
We witness the examples of same theme in our daily life that the charms & Pleasures and our targets are much attractive, charming, important and appealing for us, until they are unachieved but as soon as we achieved our target, it’s importance started to decrease as compare to it’s previous status when it was unachieved.
Same way, its our part of nature that in one stage of our life (mostly between 15 to 21 years) we automatically start liking someone from opposite gender, in short words, we fall in love during our early youth and then always keep on thinking that how to disclose our feelings to over beloved, think different ways to express our feelings for her/him but again and again hesitate to express our feelings. Again the brave people never hesitate to express their feelings. They express themselves to their beloved, its other matter that they got positive or response from other side but they at least disclose and more than 70 % they succeed to win their love but there is different matter with cowards they hesitate, hesitate and keep on hesitating to express their feelings and at least they lost the opportunity and their beloved got engaged with someone other.
So, what you think? Are cowards lost in the field of love??? Again I will return to the Emily Dickinson’s poem and consider that the title of victory is coward’s beloved, the solider of the victorious army is the person whom his beloved got engaged/ married and finally coward is that dying solider of the poem who never achieved the title of victory. Though, he remains fail to express his feelings throughout his life and that’s why his love remains evergreen and fresh till his death and in this way that coward is winner over that brave person who find the love feelings in his mind and heart, disclose the feelings, and won his beloved.
Same theme is revealed in the famous Bollywood movie “DEVDAS”, as in that movie Devdas (King Khan Shahrukh Khan) remains fail to win the Paroo but she remains always in his mind, he always keeps her childish gifts along with him, and remember her with his every breath and at last lost his life. But still he is winner because paroo was with him, though not physically but her memories and her love always there, mixed in his blood.
