October


"October is the month of falling in love"

"Or maybe you associate the 'falling of leaves' with 'falling in love'?" 

"Maybe"

"October feels sad to me"

"Why?"

"See, leaves are falling down from the trees. It's the detachment! The trees used to be green once..."

"They're now becoming leafless? They seem to be dead?"

"Yeah! As if someone has taken their lives away! Moreover, the leaves, which were green only because they were attached to the tree. They're lifeless now and the saddest part is, they'll never be alive again."

"But the trees will grow new leaves and get back to life soon after!"

"That's what detachment is about! Initially, both become lifeless but one of them moves on with time finding new ones to flourish themselves but the other one completely loses its existence."

"That's sad. And how weird of us that we get happy seeing someone's departure right?"

"Indeed!"
