So many things I can’t explain
I am not that naïve that I’d think there is an explanation to everything that goes on around us. Gosh, till I read Dawkins , I wasn’t even sure about evolution and I thought I knew my science well (people who disagree can do so without letting me know :-P ).
It’s not the facts and figures part that is past me. I mean, one can probably understand rocket science if you read enough books and journals. It’s the subtleties of our relationships and interactions that are sometimes a little hazy.
I have a weird love-hate relationship with my dad. People aren’t always around and some don’t last as long as you’d like them to. It's made me realize the importance of having a good bond with the people you care about, talking to them and getting to know them better. Telling them that you love them or showing that you care.. geez. I don’t want to end up writing a third rate sappy card. The point is, you can’t look back and wish you’d have done things differently. So it’s best to make amends when you can. I’ve tried to bond with my dad many times. I’ve given up off late. I guess there are some interactions that can only go so far.
Technically, it’s not that hard to get along with another person. You’re holed up long enough with someone; you’ll learn to appreciate them. Of course there are instances where you end up hating them too; for reasons you’d usually forgive others for. Guess the tolerance level lowers down, even though you understand and imbibe some of their traits. Actually it’s hard to not become like the other person once you’ve enough spent time with them. You use their catch phrases, adopt their sleeping habits and even pick up personality traits. Though all this happens ‘cos of the love, some trivial stuff does make you very testy.
I wonder why we get irked so much about the inconsequential stuff. It’s not ‘cos we don’t care. I think it’s ‘cos we want more and we get mad when we don’t get it.
Hehe. I can’t imagine me having an actual theme while writing. I guess my whole “I want more in life” is causing me to come straight back to that time and again. But at least I know now why I feel the way I do sometimes.
I just need to feel happy with what I have. Contentment with regards to monetary stuff is very easy. It’s much harder when it’s to relationships.
Is there such a thing as unconditional love? I exclude my love to kids and friends there. I am totally capable of showering my love to them without expecting anything back. It’s everywhere else where I have a problem. I wonder about this ‘cos I expect more from some folk than others. Wonder why there is a disjoint in my needs? Love is love and should be the same no matter where you get it from. Isn’t it?
