Well its something that may have happened to all of us, more often than not we just don't see it coming. We are blinded by either love, faith, friendship or hatred. Sometimes we are with blinkers on and just don't pay heed to the surroundings and circumstances building around us, we are ignorant to the signs. Ignorant to facts and on a single track.
More often than not we are hurt by people who are close to us, people whom you love unconditionally and expect nothing but gestures. Yeah i know, you must be wondering how can i talk about 'unconditional' and 'expectations' in the same breath. Well i guess expecting gestures is a bit different than expectations. Its intangible, its not seen, cannot be held, cannot be quantified.
Sometimes its something that can jolt you back to reality and bring you to your senses and tell you who you really are and what you might mean to some people, especially to those who mean a lot to you. Its just that you feel cheated, you feel disgusted, you are angry, you don't know how to actually react. Its not jealousy that does this to you coz unconditional love doesn't see any barriers of hatred, jealousy, unpleasantness, dislike. Its just so beautiful that you become unaware of what it might be leading to. Sometimes its better not to express things and just be quiet about everything you feel.
A lot about us often goes misinterpreted, we are taken for granted, the pain we suffer increases by a degree or two, in the does it all feels as if it just wasn't worth it and all the efforts that you put in, time, money, initiative, were all were not even the 2 pence it could have been. U think like someone who has been trampled upon, used, be led on!
But then thanks to some 'angels', sanity prevails and you come back to life and realize that its time to move on and maybe it was your fault in expecting even that little gesture. Its not the investment to time that has gone waste coz someone once said that if you give someone your time you have given them the most precious thing, its never going to come back. And the best thing about expecting the future is that it comes only one day at time. So you exactly know how much we are capable of handling, it too is within limits of control.
A wise man one said, 'don't expect! Expectations make you fall flat on your face' and someone also said, 'its not the big things that matter and make an impression, its the small gestures that matter the most.'
i'm someone who bases my decisions and judgements about people on the way they behave with me. I'll go out of the way to tickle their funny bone in an effort to leave my foot prints. But for me its a thread, the fine silk thread. Its there, difficult to see but it exists, and will continue to exist for eternity, but its delicate and can be broken at some point in time. It can be repaired too but the knot too will remain for eternity.
Peace brother!
Thanks Bud & Mitesh!
You guys are the best, and true for life.
