The Diary Game-Creative writing- Sometimes no one trusts their own shadow

How are you all? I hope you are all doing well. I am also doing well. Today I am here with a new blog. Today the topic of my blog is travel. I really like traveling. Although due to my busy schedule, I don't have time to travel anywhere. Still, whenever I get time, I try to travel somewhere. Because traveling calms my mind and also teaches me a lot from nature. And this is why we should all travel occasionally. And that's why I am thinking of sharing my travel stories with you.

Nowadays, one cannot even trust one's own shadow, — the saying may seem like an exaggeration to many. But when you look at the real life experience, the degradation of society, and the masked appearance of people, this saying no longer seems like a fantasy. This is a time where there is no such thing as truth, there is a vast difference between face and mind, and even the space for confidence is gradually becoming filled with doubt. This writing is therefore not just a statement, but a reflection of the times. Where we will find out — why have people become like this? Why is it that today even one's own shadow is not trustworthy?

Once upon a time, people trusted people. Friendship was of the heart, love was selfless, family relationships were a symbol of dependence. The word trust was like honor then. If someone said something, you could believe it even without written proof. But times have changed, and with it the definition of trust has changed. Now, when someone makes a promise, the first thing you think is that they will really keep it? A huge gap has now been created in the social, family, and even personal feelings, where uncertainty and doubt reign. Have you ever been in a situation where you doubt your own decisions? Your own feelings, your own desires, your own words are all making you hesitate? This is not just a mental conflict, it is a kind of loss of confidence. And if we look for the reasons behind this, what we find is: deception around you, repeated breach of trust, being deceived by your own mistakes, being ridiculed by the truthful in society, these experiences one day take you to a place where it seems that I cannot recognize myself. Standing in this situation, a person realizes that these days, even his own shadow is not reliable.

When a person loses faith in their loved one, a part of their heart dies. Love, friendship, kinship—no matter what the relationship, if there is no trust, it is just a fake connection. Sumi thought her lover would love her for the rest of her life. But when she found out that her lover was dreaming the same dream about someone else, her trust was shattered. Now, before she looks at someone or speaks, she thinks, “Will this one also be betrayed one day?” Such a breach of trust destroys a person from the inside. The smile that once filled her face turns into silence, and disbelief appears in her eyes.

Nowadays, there has come a time when friends can become the biggest traitors. If someone knows everything about your thoughts, weaknesses, wants and needs, then they are the most dangerous, if their mind is not honest. Many have gone through such experiences where they have brought destruction by trusting a friend. When doubt enters friendship, that relationship no longer touches the heart—it becomes just a remnant of memory. Today, lack of trust has reached such a point that people hesitate even about their own blood. Greed for land and property, jealousy, marital strife or property disputes—these seem to have taken away the light of trust from people's eyes. Many say, "If a brother is a broker again, then there is no point in blaming outsiders." There is a deep wound hidden in these words, from which a new decision is born—"Trust no one, only yourself." But today, even yourself cannot be trusted anymore.

This lack of trust has shaken the very foundation of society. People are now one thing on their lips, another on their hearts. They build relationships for their own interests and break them when they need to. The people who talk big about "love", "brotherhood", "friendship" on social media are actually the coldest, most calculating and masked. Seeing this reality, it seems - is my shadow also deceiving me? "Shadow" is symbolic here. The shadow never leaves a person. It is by his side everywhere, in all environments, in the light of day. But if there comes a time when one doubts one's own thoughts, and what one sees with one's own eyes is questioned, then that shadow also becomes weak and vague. Distrusting one's own shadow means - one no longer recognizes oneself. There is no trust in oneself.

This is a terrible mental state, the result of which can be self-contradiction, loneliness, despair, and even mental depression. No, faith has not ended. There are still some people who love with their hearts and stand by them selflessly. However, to find them, one must sharpen one's eyes and keep one's heart alert. Let's not have to tell future generations that "even one's own shadow is not trustworthy." For that, we must start now by standing by the truth and rebuilding the foundation of faith.
