Some wise man once said that you don’t choose who you like or love. Agreed
it might not hold true in today’s time where people often seek more material
aspects for a relationship than the person they are in a relationship
with. However, apart from this a basic question still remains – yes, you can
fake feelings but can you deny them?
You might like a person and be aware of their limitations but
you still end up caring, what happens then? You choose to accept them for who
they are right. But then what happens when at one point you feel like you are imposing
yourself on them. Some respect your feelings and turn you away gently, where
some are harsh and make things crystal clear. Whatever said, feelings should be
respected if not reciprocated. You, beyond your logic truly want to see a person do well
or stay happy and more importantly want to make them happy. Somewhere amidst our
insecurities though we seem to have forgotten the respect those feelings
deserve. How do you know you are making a person happy by pushing them away
towards someone who might not be good for them? How do you know that they will
be happy without you? Maybe they will be, but that remains a mystery. Life stops for no one, there are a plethora
of people who come and go. You take each instance as a lesson.
We often tend to seek our worth through people. Some may
agree or disagree but most often it is built on a sham of fake or genuine compliments or sometimes
on the veritable views of the other person about you. But then, isn’t that
person’s perception true since you displayed that. Does that mean that you
falsified your character and personality? If not then it sure as hell confirms
that you are who the other person thinks you are.
How many times we see people with jaded pasts, the number
is increasing rapidly though. The innocence, the thrill, the excitement and the
charm of being with a person is disappearing. Just like music, everything is
turning artificial. We have forgotten how to fight, to love with intensity and
with sincerity. Some thrive on the memories of the past, not looking ahead.
Some look ahead and not cherish what they have right infront of them. Who truly
loves then? The use of all motivational quotes is only left to read and forget.
When do we apply the logic? But what logic can rationalize emotions. Vicious circle
this.
It is an unbearable feeling to not say what you want. It’s
almost like you are gagged and refused to speak or think or feel a certain way.
Then why do we complain when people turn bitter or harsh or change or isolate
themselves. They were never allowed to speak, to express to let the other know
what they feel. This is what people do to each other – they cut tongues,
clip the wings and force the heart, attune the brain to speak, fly, emote and
express respectively. What do people mean when they say they want you happy? Who
defines what makes you happy? Isn’t that for you to recognize and voice? In the
end I guess it’s only a ploy by some good people to let you down easy. To let
you understand on your own that you don’t deserve a chance. To push you away
and into a future unknown where who knows what you get.
But ofcourse, it’s all
done to make sure you are happy!!
