Friendships And Relationships Are Never Permanent
Two persons, Strangers to each other, Meet, Are polite, Eager to become friends, Know each other, Become familiar; Converse spontaneously for hours, Express concern for each other.
Slowly, as time passes, Encroach upon privacy of each other, Leave no space for the other, Believe friendship implies, Sharing 100% of each other's life, Become possessive, Express resentment, If do not get undivided attention, It results in, Degeneration, Partial withdrawal, Sharing selective information, Speak cautiously with each other, Slowly settle down to cosmetic conversation, Meet occasionally, With a polite smile, Gradual dilution in intimacy, And, Learn to live life once again, Without each other.
Searching for fresh greener pastures, Hoping in vain, For a better catch, A durable, permanent friend, Alas! We are all imperfect.
How can friendship, Between two imperfect human-beings be ever lasting? And the cycle has repeated itself endlessly, Since the dawn of life.
We are: Conceited, self-centered, opinionated, We are slave to our 5 senses, We want: To see every place, To eat every thing, To collect every artefact.
All these are mere coefficients of life, We work endlessly and unsuccessfully, To quench senses' thirst, Thus we seek friendship with influential people, Who can help us achieve, success in life, A successful individual implies, An individual with more money, Who can satisfy the never-ending thirst of our desires, But happiness may still evade us, For a satisfied desire is replaced by a new desire, If only we could learn to live a contented life, With what we have, Are satisfied with present, There after, aim for other goals.
We are never satisfied with present, We are under tension, pressure, For there is always, A more successful neighbour, With more resources, more assets, Better in satisfying the 5 senses.
We pay the price with high BP, diabetes and ulcer, Lack of harmony in our family.
In addition, We refuse to tolerate difference of opinion.
This is true for friends, For spouses, Between parents and children, Between siblings.
We are ignored by some, Our friends may stop communicating with us.
This is: 'Good Bye', When we are still alive, The remedy! Develop friendship with God, Who will not desert us, If we are poor, If we lose our social status, If we are not, as pretty/handsome or healthy, As we were once upon a time, He will never ditch us, Even if we are worthless, We are old and infirm.
God bless us, To realize the truth, At the earliest.
