Betting my Life
Yesterday as I was going through a magazine I came across an interesting statement which stated “There comes a point in your life when you realize- who matters, who never did, who won’t anymore and who always will. So don’t worry about the people from your past. There is a reason why they don’t make it to your future”.
I somehow disagreed with the statement especially where it said “don’t worry about the people from your past”. Question is why not? How can a person forget the individual that he/she has lost without any reason? If a relationship got sour due to some differences in the past then there is always a chance to tie the two wires together and complete the circuit. Similarly what if someone was not physically approachable, one can always try to locate the person and get in touch. Why one should just forget about everything? Satisfying one-self with the thought that there must be a reason so let move on.
Relationships take years to develop with the efforts of both individuals and it is not easy to just let it go in a second. I am sure it takes away a piece of soul of each person. I know it very well and can bet on it. Yes! I would agree that in a relationship there is always a straight line phase. One person may like to walk faster and the other a bit slow which does not mean that the relationship is broken. The link is always there with an invisible chain/thread whatever you call it. The only change is that the world does not see them walking side by side.
Now the question is why one wants to walk faster and one slower. There can be many reasons, maybe one person is going through a time which is tough and requires more attention which in turn is slowing him down but on the other hand the other person is in pursuit of a goal/objective that he wants to achieve as soon as possible. It would be incorrect to conclude in such case that the relationship has broken or the care for each other has decreased. Both individuals posses the care and are sensitive but now due to the distance it’s not visible. Now it’s up to them to rectify the situation. Either one can start walking faster to catch the person running ahead or the other person slows down/stop and wait for the one lagging behind to reach him. But how about the third option where no one needs to do so much, just a little effort so that the distance between the two is always there but within accessible range. In case one falls down then the other is aware of it. Well it’s just a thought. Practicability of such arrangement is still to be analyzed.
Humans have this ability that they are always thinking. Thinking about the ways they can mold their life according to their wishes. They make decisions that they see appropriate as per the circumstances in front of them and they subject these thoughts and decisions to the test of time. Sometimes the decisions are right at the target and sometimes they backfire. In case of success the individual is proud and on top of the world but God forbid if the decision backfires then what options are left in front of him. I think at that time he needs support of another human being and who can be the best person for this task? It’s no one except his friend, the one who is just behind him. Who can step forward and break the fall, put the person back on the track, gives the required push to again gain momentum and re-start the journey to reach what he/she was aiming for. That friend would always be there. I am sure about it and can bet my life on this.
