SSDD Demystified

If I ask you to remember and list significant days of your life, how long a list will you come up with? Fifty, hundred, five hundred? I sincerely doubt if anyone can list more days than that. So now what is your age? Let’s say twenty five years. Now tell me if you just remember hardly two years of that, where did other twenty three years go? Other twenty three years of your life can be termed SSDD; Same Shit Different Day.

SSDD is vastly misunderstood and is considered as a negative way of looking at life. However, I firmly believe that one agrees or not, SSDD exists in everybody’s life. Let’s face the truth; in life there are two types of days, few to live and rest to survive. It’s like they tell you in cricket, not every ball is to hit. You need to leave tough ones and hang on there until that loose one comes your way on which you can free your arms. Similarly in your life, you go through ordinary days in ordinary ways doing all the ordinary stuff, don’t you? So there is SSDD, isn’t it? However, you obviously don’t sulk and become full of pessimism when you are letting an ordinary day go by. So you see SSDD is not a pessimist phenomenon, its rather your way of telling life that you will not let ordinary stuff divert you from stuff that you are really excited about. So next time when you realize that life has thrown an ordinary day towards you and someone asks you how is it going, what are you going to tell? Tell the truth, embrace SSDD.
