nighttime reflection

!Hola!

Is it true what i just heard. Is love so fragile and delicate? We live in a very different kind of world today, where love is fluffy, light , steamy, ..ya, i know it sounds like a restaurant serving pancakes! But friends become lovers, lovers become friends, neighbours become strangers, strangers become enemies. Was the world any different than what we know it ?

Relationship issues have always been a topic for reflection and speculation. Anyone out there who has been in a relationship will know its dramatic shifts. The crests and troughs, highs and lows, deep undying love and orgasmic expressions. An intense relationship does bring the person closest to its true form, its true nature is revealed ;rather the mask is unveiled and true form comes to life. It does not matter what it shows us, jealousy, fright, pity, hurt, rage, hatred, compassion,happiness, emotions. It shows only us, us.

I think as usual, i am wandering from the topic..alas , my daydreaming..i mean nighttime dreaming..the main issue here was 'are relationships so perplexing to unfold? '  I must reveal the reason of embarking upon this journey tonight. A recent conversation with one of my friends revealed the bitter truth about relationships. Somehow I knew relationships do come with their share of extensive overweight emotional baggage, but we don't want to know about it or feel it. And that's how it should be, lest we be scared of carrying one.

A loving family, perfect house, perfect life, then what makes one stray? The lack of drama, lack of excitement of younger days, the responsibility bullshit talks? What has such a strong hold on oneself ? I don't want to be judgmental here , people make mistakes, we have heard that a million times, but what if the person makes the same mistake again and again, it becomes a habit then right? Then also who are we, as a society to lay down the rights and wrongs on how a life has to be led. A stray excitement turns into a ravenous appetite that eventually consumes oneself , along with everyone around. What should be the punishment of such a strayer? ( i refrain from using betrayer). vengeance? penance? ostracize?

For this post, we ll use vengeance. Revenge not with a rage, but vengeance with healing. What if at this point a helper ( we ll call this person helper) comes along. A helper, technically is a person who helps. Here a stray complimenter, a good friend, person with similar experiences comes along. You know its wrong, but if feels right to heal the hurt . 'I need to be loved too, I need to relive' is your mantra. So now you take care of your own affairs. Is it a vicious cycle that will consume you too, maybe in time. But right now, you know you are not wrong.

Only in due time will the story unfold and reveal its dark existence. You and I will have to wait till then. i do not have a set mindset or any opinion on how this will end, or how long will it continue in future. Its very easy for one to be judgmental and act like a chieftain and label 'affairs' wrong. But what would you have done ? What repercussions would it have on the generation ? Would it taint the lineage. But then how can we be so sure of our lineage? its spans back-across centuries ago.

Anyways the matter here is that of heart and hurt. For now, all the wrong things look right. The world just turned upside-down.

Adios!
