A Few Questions Today
Apart from having a sluggish day today (gawd it's becoming a daily affair of late), I managed several thoughts triggered by people around me...
Why do some of us keep getting into bad relationships?
I suppose many of us would expect ourselves to have the common sense to learn from the bad experience and avoid them in the next. Some of us do. We learn and remind ourselves what to look out for or to avoid in the next one.
Or so we think until "Hope" comes along. It is also "hope", despite all that we've supposedly learnt and known, that may cause the bad cycle to repeat itself. The "hope" that this time, it will be different. But do we really know? Can we ever really avoid it?
Why can't we just have whoever we want to have?
Finding our one true love is like searching for needle in a haystack.
If you are lucky, one step, the needle might just prick you and it gets stuck. Search is over.
If not that lucky, you might have to shuffle it a little, turn it over, spread it out, touch it and suddenly, you feel something...clench your fist...ouch! Got it.
If luck's out but you are determined to find it, you might have to, for days, stake out, camp, do the not-that-lucky process over and over, serenade, read and just one day, the needle will be the light in the haystack under the moonlit sky.
No luck and no determination will leave the needle in the haystack.
No luck, no determination but with money, just go to the hypermart and you can choose any shape and size, or in today's fasion, customise it the way you want.
Why are some friendships or relationships one-sided?
So many things in our lives make us "us". Every day we meet new people, make new friends, work with new colleagues and one day, they may become the ships that will anchor in our lives. This is all wonderful. Ever thought about what happens when it becomes or one realises that it is afterall, a one-sided affair, giving end of the deal...it hurts. Lifting the anchor is not as easy as dropping it.
Such heartache when love is no longer felt. Such hurt when empathy is no longer shared. It's all one-sided. You listen. And you listen. "Excuse me, can I...*interrupted - listen and listen*...but I think blah blah blah...*looks away uninterested* *silence*" You give. And you give. "Great job! *...* Should we go out and celebrate?! *no money* *dead tone*" Get my point? Well, to lift or leave the anchor as is? It's a tough one. And certainly not trivial. Meanwhile, I'll just get my champagne, perch on the deck, enjoy the sun while evaluating. What will you do?
