I was
thinking what to write, tonight. Life is like a marathon as I have engaged
myself into number of activities. Life is busy around yoga classes to writing
for another product portfolio and then working on my second book. Not to
forget, I just enrolled myself into art classes as well J.
But when I retire at the end of the day, I try to think and formulate something
useful for my readers from my real life.
What is
friendship?
For me, it
is like a journey with a person in real or virtual world where I accept the way
one is born. Sometimes, we look for like-minded people as friends as it makes
our life easy. But for me, it is opposite. I love my friends the way they are
born and gifted to me. I cannot be a ‘Yes’ to ‘Yes’ or ‘No’ to ‘No’ kinds of a
friend.
When two
people of different nature and attitude meet, there are possibilities of argument
and misunderstanding. In short, this is what makes a friendship to live. There
is no relation in the world that is sweet all the time. Just like, we cannot
live only on sweets. To satisfy our taste buds, we need to binge on sour or bitter
stuff as well.
The real
taste of any relationship is experienced when we have a combination of sweet,
sour and bitter. Life is beautiful when you perceive it like that. Similarly,
any relationship or friendship is beautiful or charming, if you perceive it
that way. If you give more significance to mere bitter incidents, you cannot
live your friendship. Every friend is unique and there is only one friend who comes in your life to change you or effect you or challenge you to
change to a better friend J.
Friends are
born to fight, love, kiss, hug and kick each other. All of them are true traits
of friendship. If you get confused, close your eyes and just think about what
all your friend has done to understand you as a friend.
Has he/she
not followed your terms and conditions of friendship (though there should be no
terms and conditions in friendship)?
Has he/she
not fought for you many times with situations or your people for you?
Has he/she left you alone when you needed him/her the most?
Has he/she left you alone when you needed him/her the most?
Has he/she
ever asked you a question ‘why’ to which he/she might be seeking an answer?
Do your
manipulation and when you open your eyes, if you still think, your degree of
bitterness is more than sweetness for your friend, just MOVE ON and never look
back for your friend. Meet new people and make new friends J.
I have gone
through a similar situation in life and maybe this post might help my friend to
understand that friends are born to love and fight. They call each other names
but they stand against the whole world to keep up their friendship.
Rest, at the
end of the day, nothing is more important to me than my friend’s happiness. I
will always pray my friends and my readers (who are more than my friends) should
stay happy and blessed by God.
So live the
sweetness and bitterness of your friendship. I wish, if any reader of mine has
lost his/her friend out of ego or misunderstanding, must reunite. Friends are
like diamonds – hard to earn and very expensive to lose J
Good Night
and Love you ALL!!
Cheerios!!
