Hi !
This is my first write up of the year. Well 2010 was fairly good for my blog space as I feel I did much better than 2009.
What I am thinking about these days is - is price only limited to currency? So many of us are rich with currency but bankrupt of emotions or compassion. We assume that all that can be deposited is in banks so that one can withdraw but for everything else we feel there is nothing to deposit. Especially when it comes to relationships. Do we bother to be just there for our loved ones or are we there only at our convenience? Are we really, really there for our friends when they truly need us or are we with them only during celebrations or milestones. Do we find ourselves around them just for nothing, just being there……….giving of yourself, investing yourself? :)
Relationships of convenience will always be shallow, superficial and exist at 2 feet level and expecting it to give a harvest of 200 feet depth is foolish. Depth is only cultivated over time with much more giving than expecting. Its more of loving selflessly, unconditionally without being judgmental which is tough. We are kind to a friend last couple of times and want that they remove blemishes in relationship of the last 10 years. Is it really fair? Do we really, truly invest ourselves in our relationships without any motive?
These are the thoughts passing my mind these days and I am stirring myself to realize and not replicate the Utilitarian model of material world of use and throw to relationships.Building relationships is key and to some extent key differentiator in keeping one grounded.
There was a saying i had read, i value friends who have time for me on their calendar but i cherish friends who for me would not consult a calendar.
Lets see how 2011 unfolds :) wishing one and all the very best !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
