Ramblings Again!
Consider a situation where you are signing a pact with chariness, lack of authenticity and selfishness. You might ruin, in fact poison the relationship even before laying the foundation stone. People with whom you are dealing with will have a hard time in the face of your incredulity, they won't be disputed to rise to your level of expectations.
Over the years, I've learnt one thing. One should prefer concentrating on the goodwill of mortals who are doing work with you. No matter what you do, where you go, you are bound to encounter those handful of people who will try their very best to disappoint to you but eventually you'll understand that is their sole purpose of life.
One thing, which I've understood during PG course is the importance of an open mind and an open heart but that just increases the vulnerability. Maybe, one should give others a chance to live up to our trust and others should not be on a hunt to try to cultivate trust in spite of knowing the fact that it won't work on every single soul.
I read a certain version of these in reader digest couple of years back and interestingly all are true:
- One should not waste time in initiating those relationships whose outcome wont be positive for both the sides. If there is an advantage for one but the other doesn't see it that way, then the relationship is bound to fail. #abort it
- Any relation which needs some productivity requires trust which is reciprocal in nature. One cannot think of understanding a person whom you don't trust
- There are certain things in nature esp. relationships, which I believe exist only if there is commitment from both the sides instead of one. If a person doesn't want to provide such a commitment, it is better to leave the thought of starting a relationship.
Somewhat similar are the sentiments in the lines..woh afsana jise anjam tak laana na ho mumkin use ek khoobsoorat mod dekar chhodna accha..from the Gumrah song.
ReplyDeleteTrue that sir!
DeleteMadhur Sir,Irony is that the core of the love"feelings" has been replaced by Thinking.If we have been without minds "love would have cherished better"
ReplyDeleteI disagree Madhav, Love is not only because of hearts..mind is constantly involved.
DeleteI won't argue much Madhur sir but if mind is involved, it can't be selfless and if that's what one looks for. It's present at every corner.
DeleteAll true but certain people are doomed by their own nature...they are propelled towards tragedy bcuz of who they are...no amount of rationality helps then.
ReplyDeleteAahh..Kaavishism! No amount of introspection helps them..the only option left is - ignore such "blessed" mortals!
