We were born alone; we are going to die alone. Then why is that we struggle so much to maintain relationships between these two events???
This is a question I keep hearing from people time and again
Do we really need to answer this question? Is it not obvious that we have to live along with others in this world and we cannot live in isolation? – Most of the time this is the answer I get to hear.
But then if we read the question again, it never was about living alone or with others. It is about us trying to give that extra push to maintain relationships in life. Do we really need to do that?
My answer to this is YES. When we were born “alone”, we had some people crying (tears of joy). While dying “alone”, we will have people crying (tears of sorrow). Between these two events, its our turn to cry for those people. For few, it is to thank them for having cried when we were born and for few, to make sure they cry when we die. The choice is ours whether we want "tears of joy" or "tears of sorrow" between Birth and Death.
An interesting question there Tarun...very thought provoking!
ReplyDeleteBirth is not our choice and death is inevitable!!
Hmmm..'RELATIONSHIPS in between ' are the ones which make our life worthwhile to live. In the process of 'maintaining the relationships' we also learn about our own strengths and weaknesses.
Some relations are 'worth the squeeze'... while some aren't. So differentiating the two becomes a big struggle.
Blood relations are not our choice, but the acquired ones are of course our own choices!! So if we put that 'extra effort' to make them flourish, then only we can have 'tears of joy'... and we can also give 'tears of joy' to those who are in that relationship with us!!
wishing u 'happy blogging'!!
