Just like everybody else I live amidst a plethora of relationships - familial, friendly, intimate and more. I am nearing three decades of life but to understand what relationships actually entail is far beyond my grasp.
There is definitely the notion of security and someone to look up to when we are connected to a large pool of people, when we are in a relationship. But I always find individuality losing its essence and unavoidable obligations on the rise. To top them all, relationships always have the "selfish" factor stamped on them - especially when we are expected to or when we expect others to be what we want them to be and eventually rob them off of their true persona. Stunted personal growth is what I call this!
People do co-exist in harmony. But never without expectations, disappointments and betrayals that can shake the very sanity of a person. Not to sound like someone immersed in the lake of absolute negativity, but this is life, ipso facto. It hurts to get hurt and to hurt someone. Relationships at some point in our lives tend to go complex and confusing to the point where they can eat us inside out. Quarrels, fights, jealousy, misunderstandings and loss of peace ensue.
On the flip side, there is so much mirth and belongingness amongst certain clan of people. I am simply amazed at those who shower their love on others selflessly. No holds, entirely unconditional and so very comforting. How do they do that? What is it that keeps them giving without expecting nothing in return? Is that not a trait that every human should possess? To glide through problems at ease, to maintain that invincible smile always and at the same time being the real us, loving, giving and sharing. Now that is a valuable and worthy relationship.
It delights and excites to have fruitful connections in this ephemeral mystery called "life". Why not we be a part of this selfless spree?
