Mystic presence of Mr. Red (The Shawshank Redemption) in our life.....Unsung heroes....

Overwhelmed truth, life is unfair!!! So what!!!! It's unfair for everyone even if you are a millionaire, just the difference is then you will suffer from wealth-related problems.  No matter how unfair life is, we know we will overcome every adverse and traumatic situation. I am not going to write about the importance of a positive attitude, not giving up in any situation, and finding meaning in life (Man's Search for Meaning: Victor Frenkel). Today I want to write about the people who played a significant role in everyone's life and still remain unrecognized. And we think our success is just the outcome of our hard work, dedication, intellect, and fortune. Really :) It's an illusion, that our individual success cannot be achieved without the contribution of the most gifted people in our lives. By the way, my meaning for success is a career, success in social relationships, improved perception level, the art of understanding and communication, etc. In my opinion, these are the people who knowingly or unknowingly sacrifice their lives for others, enjoy happiness in each moment of giving, don't blame others for their conditions, and most importantly don't seek or better to say don't need recognition. Yes!!! These are the Mystic heroes in everyone's life, but we hardly identify and sometimes it takes a whole decade to realize their contribution to our life. Let's compare these heroes in our lives with very famous characters in the blockbuster movie "The Shawshank Redemption 1994". Undeniably, Andy (Tim Robbins) was intelligent, a good negotiator, an accountant, and a gentleman as well which helped him to come out of jail while securing financial independence. Do you think, all this was because of his mindful effort to persuade the jailor? Obviously, it was his excellent personality trait. But do you think it was possible without Mr. Red? I don't think so... Why??? It was Mr. Red who helped him to adapt to that environment, who helped him in networking (remember that small hammer), who selflessly treated him as a friend, and who gave him a dream even though in the end, he lost hope. In our life, we encounter very few Mr. Red, but do we treat them like Andy treated Mr. Red???? Giving them thanks, a hug, and if capable financial support. No...We just take the things they do for granted... These are the people who add value to our life. Actually, they don’t need our thanks or gratitude because no matter how successful we are, we can’t replicate their virtue of giving, they are born with. But if you miss the chance to thank them and tell them how important they were in your life I believe you will regret it for a lifetime. So, before it’s too late, find Mr. Red in your life, share your success, and tell them how much you appreciate them….
