MUSINGS


Should you leave everything into Fate’s hands or control your own destiny? A thought that plagues many…
Is it better to fight for what you believe in or give into circumstances?
Courage is what you need to fight against the fates when they conspire against you but this you can do only if you have that desire within you to fight for what you believe in and love…
Otherwise sit back and watch your life spiral out of control…
EGO. That three-letter word that ruins friendships and all kinds of relationships… Why is it, I wonder? Why do we allow ourselves to be caught in a whirlpool of emotions that are so negative and only draw us away from those who we love? If we really loved them would we not put them in front of ourselves? And try and understand the other person’s feelings first instead of obsessing about the fact of who is right and who is wrong.
The article in today’s Sunday times as usual makes a lot of sense and sparks off a lot of thought-provoking comments… It’s beautiful the way relationships are portrayed and built… However I disagree with one fact they say… If it’s lovely to start laughing in the middle of an argument, I don’t see how any point is going to come across… The truth is anything can be worked out only if the other person is willing to listen… change is too much to ask for… but maybe… just maybe you could have given the other person something to think about.
A true friend is one who is patient with you. A true friend waits for you to come out of your crazy mood swings, does not allow him/her to be fazed by your hurtful comments and knows that in the end you do care for him/her. There is no ego between two friends. There is no thinking before who takes the first step… Likewise, it applies to a relationship between two people. There is no running away in times of difficulty and they stick with you through thick and thin. That is why we have families.
I take this opportunity to thank the people in my life for being there for me… No matter what I do, I’m always forgiven…
I also wonder at the relationships that have failed in my life… I am surprised that I have no regrets. No regrets whatsoever because I shared wonderful moments with them and as hard as I try to remember any bad ones, I come up with only good ones. Sometimes things don’t work out when you realize that the value you give to some people is not reciprocated and you come away feeling empty.
However, everything happens for a reason and the saying ‘This too shall pass’ has given me a lot of strength.
It would be nice if time machines existed though…
