Relationships....

relationship....a very complex thing....can be of different types.....as immortal as that of a child with its parents, as natural as the one with your friends, as topsy-turvy as that in a marriage, or as fragile as that between 2 people in an "open" relationship....
this is an interesting topic, these open relationships...u r not answerable to any1, not even 2 the person that u r having the relationship with....why does not every1 choose to be in an open relationship then if it is so convenient?...why do people still opt for commitment in a relationship, years of togetherness, or for that matter marriage?.....is it that the bindings make them feel secure?....but being an independent person why would u be asking for security all the time?... is it that in his heart of hearts every1 is so insecure as to want to be cocooned by the feeling of being loved, needed and wanted all the time?....these r questions I've asked myself and found no definite answer to...so now I'm asking my readers 2 help me out.....
why do relationships break then?...is it that people grow out of this need for security all of a sudden or they get bored of it?...some of my friends would choose the latter, I know...but is there not anyway to break the thaw in those frozen reltionships?...one should at least give it a try....but still if everything fails people should break up in a civil manner...without calling each other names....

I hope this is not sounding as sermonising....

Who am I?

Who am I? Or rather, who are we? Does anyone of us know who we actually are? What is the purpose of our existence? What is the purpose that nature wants us to serve?
Do we ever stop by to ask ourselves these questions? Well, most of us don't. Many would reply that in just 24 hours a day, they just don't have the time for such luxury. But believe me, this introspection can do each of us a world of good.
I believe we should spend half an hour each day talking to ourselves. Just think about what you have done in the whole day. Which of your actions do you deem appropriate or otherwise and why. If you can face your conscience with a straight face you are answerable to noone else in this world.
Not only daily introspections, we should actually take some time off to think how we have nurtured our relationships. Have we been honest and loyal to the people we think we love? Have we ever hurt them when they didn't deserve it? Did we apologise for such inappropriate actions? We need to be honest in providing these answers as these are the relations that will support us throughout our lives.
