LIFE - COLORES INFINITUM (44)
Increasing chances are if you are the old school, if you are of the breed who believes in building and following a relation out of your family honestly, going by the puritan ethos of commitment, you will be betrayed.
Increasing chances are if you are the old school, if you are of the breed who believes in building and following a relation out of your family honestly, going by the puritan ethos of commitment, you will be betrayed.
It is not specific to any particular
relation or any set of particular relations.
Yes, but it hurts more in cases of
friendships and its extensions and variations because it then involves innocent
expectations and informal elements of relations that exist in a family.
Who is right, who was wrong, is always
perceived and assimilated individually.
Be the individualist to the core, be
true to your heart, in handling your sentiments whenever you feel betrayed by
someone you thought was on the same page as you were and you felt for the person as
you feel for your ‘self’.
You have no right over anyone but you. You
can be manipulated, your emotions can be exploited, but never let them take you
down to the level that you start misunderstanding your ‘self’.
It is cliché but true that honesty and
commitment are misunderstood if followed in totality. But can they be followed
selectively, opportunistically? That is nothing but debauchery.
Whatever that your acts are taken for,
stick to your viewpoint, follow what you have been doing.
Never compromise the purity of your
thought process because of someone else. It will be a double whammy. The other
one has already betrayed you. Now you will be betraying your ‘self’, the raison
d'être of your ‘being’.
Yes, it hurts but pain can be a very
good friend, a blessing in disguise.
''Pain always makes the space for a
good friend. Its resilience lets you go deeper within you, connecting you with
YOU, giving you the language, to communicate, with your SELF.''
Remain honest. Keep believing in
totality of commitments. That is a must for you to remain honest to your ‘self’.
Life has to be about you. It’s better
to look inside than to run aimlessly when pain afflicts you. Handling it
positively is the reminder that you are still in the league of independent
souls, and have not become the mere pawns of fate, destiny or compromised
existence.
Remain committed to your value-system. Learn from betrayals. Learn from the
pain they cause. And come out to be the stronger, better and a more humane 'YOU'.
