"The art of living is more like that of wrestling than of dancing. The main thing is to stand firm and be ready for an unseen attack."
--------Marcus Aurelius
How true are these words .... life presents you with such mysteries , such complications all the time even when you are least expecting one!!!!
Words are so powerful in shaping ones relationship with people, for words make people understand us,admire or hate us...... but are we always in control of the words we utter... is it always"we"who end up saying such nasty things to not so nasty people..i seriously wonder?????
Yesterday was an eventful day of my life. It made me realize a few important things as to how important some people are to me and how vulnerable i was in losing them. i started my day on a happy note..my sun sign prediction said something extremely happy and something I've long desired would happen:-)
With three consecutive fights with three of the most important people of my life...i seriously don't think the sun sign prediction fitted the bill..!!
These arguments made me introspect..u see three fights cannot be a coincidence..am i really so nasty with the ones i love and care? am i really BAD?
The answer can be an affirmative. Most of them would say that but as i sat down thinking i realized that it was not me but my attitude towards them that was wrong. It was because of the fact that we tend to take people who are extremely close to us for granted..thinking that come what may,whatever we say ,they are always going to understand that it was not intentional. so are we giving them the due importance in our lives? i have noticed many of my friends walking out on their parents after an argument but running behind their girlfriends after a petty quarrel?is that really fair? lemme ask you one question......
When was the last time when you went to your parents or your siblings and apologized after an argument, when you had lost your cool and didn't quite speak nicely to them??Compare it with when was the last time you apologized to your friend or lets say maybe your colleague???
i hope you got your answer.My mom always tells me that we as humans have a tendency to run after things we don't have and thus forget the wonderful things we already have.Isn't that an irony that when we can be careful enough to see to it that we don't hurt some people, we simply don't apply it to all those people close to us?? i guess our dear ones deserve better things.... for they are the ones who come to our rescue when our ass is on fire!!!!
so next time before we say something to our parents and our close ones lets remember that its true that they will understand our intentions but the flip side is that they too will be hurt atleast momentarily.....so lets not give them that pain..they simply deserve only love and happiness....
i'm sorry mom....love you loads!!!!!!
Quote: ---- be careful before you give your heart to someone because wen you do so you not only give the person the right to love you but also the power to hurt you...... How true!!!!

very true...while apologizing to ones who aren't so close to us seems so easy, i wonder why it feels so awkward to apologize to the ones who really matter.
thoughtful post!
when i read it again and again, then i think about what you said, i think its all true... i finally realized that apologizing to someone closer to us feels more awkward... but thanks a lot, because of your post, i wanted to apologize to my parents for everything i've done to them... i just got a quarrrel with actually... tahnks again!!! :)
