It is perplexing as to how a single planet can give life to billions of people with billions of personalities. Each comes with his or her own different personality, wrapped in a totally different pacakage altogether. Some love to bask in the company of friends, some love to lead a solitary life; some enjoy the limelight, some prefer to keep a low-profile and stay away from the glares of others. And the list goes on. Yet no matter how different and how ineffable these characteristics of people may appear to be, one thing that totally eludes my understanding would be the simple understated fact of how ignorant people can be. A demented man who batters his wife into a pulp at a moment of rage, a pleasure-seeking yuppie who flounders in the throes of sex and drugs (thinking that that would make him happy)… Those are huge instances which stand to serve my point. Ironically that is not my point. For they lead their own lifes, subjected to their own joy and sorrow. What I’m trying to point out instead, is how saddening it can be when a person close to you, eg your best friend, chooses to do something that would not help to fortify a relationship. I know I’m mincing my words. But forthrightness will not do justice here. It’s just that when you are with someone through all the ups and downs, through thick and thin (pardon the cliched phrases), you, as noble as you might be, hope that the other person appreciates everything that you guys have weathered. Not appreciate you in exact terms, but to appreciate everything that has transpired between you both. The experiences you shared. The sweet and bitter. Everything. That’s why when someone chooses a different path on the pretext of sloth, it may appear to be a small thing. Yet gurgling beneath the surface would a potent force which leaves you in a quandary as to how much a relationship means to the other person. That is something that you’ll never be sure of. As a consolation, you know that no matter what, that person still is, and will be your best friend. No matter what.
And oh yeah. A post is something you write which expresses how you feel. anything. yet copying and pasting other's contents and throwing in a random statement ( for eg. i couldn't care less) counts for nothing. Yet you know what? i couldn't care less huh?
