Crossroads
12:36 PMAlo.
After a huge break.
It took me some time to develop an inspiration for a new post. Yes, if you had to barter your time for something else. Yet writing, again gives me that fresh feeling as it does every time. Looking onto a serious note here, it sort of put me into thinking a certain question: When does a person give up for someone he loves?
Let’s define a serious relationship. Two intimate people. Mom:Son, Dad:Daughter, Dad:Mom, Bro:Sis, Bro:Bro, Pakkathu Veetu Payyan:Pakkathu Veetu Ponnu, Guy:Girl, Sister:Sister or so and so. Imagine a situation you had to deal with. Some strong friction!
What if he/she did something morally or ethically or principally not approved by you?
Would you let that person have what they wanted? Or would you be biased to your principles.
If you let them do it, are you being too easy on them? Or is that how you tell them that’s how you love them?
If stood by your principles, are you being selfish? Are you instigating a drift between yourselves? Or is it how you think will be better for both of you?
You seriously need to do a lot of thinking here. And convincing too. It’s a cute issue actually. To see two people deciding over themselves. But delicate too.
What you choose defines you, and your way of agreeing of the relationship. Your way of making sure it doesn’t walk the plank.
The final verdict must achieve common grounds. Certain compromises are to be laid. Yet it has to swallow-able by both. Or else.....
But, I’d object saying, if both knew that something else mattered than just the issue that cropped up, no matter what the verdict was, won’t they live through?
Ain’t it?

Makes me smile :) "People are very different in close relationships than they are otherwise... its like switching from non relativistic to relativistic frame.... ego becomes bigger, insecurity reaches unsurpassed proportions... each day will be a roller coaster.... emotionally draining... the boundaries between right and wrong, good and bad... everything blurs..." - As a friend told..Fits here perfectly..! You cannot forgo your principles but you have to compromise to save the relationship as well (well, if you want to :P) Dedications galore? ;) Achu smile! :)
ReplyDeleteYup, he becomes Man The Unknown !! Achu Smile! :)
ReplyDeleteYet another piece of good writing.. Casual flow of thoughts put up in a nice and neat manner :) Good!!
ReplyDeleteI loved the lines... "if both knew that something else mattered then just the issue that cropped up, no matter what the verdict was, won’t they live through?".. Well,they surely would and that defines how much the relationship means to the two of them !!
