Us humans are a very strange specie if you come to think of it. There are times when we let go of our possessions so easily that it may baffle an ascetic but at times there is so much of possessiveness, so much of affinity that the mere thought of disconnecting is unsettling and unacceptable. This further translates into translation loss between definitions of Self Respect and Ego. And translation loss between individuals when it comes to such definitions viz - my self respect is somebody else's ego and vice versa. And the whole concept of Trust per se. I have all my life believed in Trust being a non-negotiable function and not subject to any interpretation. Its Black & White. It is there or it is not. If It is there, then it is there. Almost forever, till it is broken. Broken by an act of default in the relationship. And never by circumstances or distance or discomfort or introduction of new relationships or random vibes. Trust once established is there. Or it should have never been there. People should then accept that there was no trust in the first place. It was possibly an idea of trust. A fancy, malleable idea of trust that was suited to the need of the hour and very surfacial. The moment relationship started facing heat, it started melting. That
"Readers, please note. In any relationship, under a normal circumstance, if things start getting heated up, Trust is the last metal to Melt. If it is not so, please step up and accept that there was never a thing called Trust in the first place"
Coming back, what is important is that people are patient. Towards each other. People should relax a bit and let the tide of emotions pass before taking decisions that may leave a dent and at times an irrevocable vacuum. People should hold onto trust and take cue on next step from there. Absorbing the negativity for a while and then just let Trust be a spongeblob, soaking it all in, post-facto. Or just letting Trust bear the accusations upfront and keep their souls light and sans-retribution. People should believe more in the power of Trust than they believe in their own understanding of situations. People should let intuitions run their course before actually reacting. People should be more considerate. People should always put themselves in their people's shoes and then feel the impact of their words and heat of their arguments. People should always Trust their People, indefinitely. Or they just should not believe in the concept of their People.
Time, this Time, is such that we respect 'Now' more than the 'Past'
Inability to see future clouds our vision, our decisions
And haste of taking decisions makes us achievers but losers
In Long Run, and in Short.
And that worries me. And perturbs me no end.
Because figment by figment, we will end up chaffing out the layers of relationships.
Layers that protected and nurtured it, over time and tides.
And which now lays naked, on the ground, crying hoarse, for respite.
And that worries me to no end!
