It’s truly amazing how life works… How the values that you give to things swing like a pendulum… one day it’s the most important thing that you could ever have and the next it’s THE worse thing that ever happened to you... and how we cannot find the balance in between...
The question rises… are we giving the correct value to things??? What is the most important thing in your life?? Have you ever questioned yourself that?? Life can consist of so many things… your studies; your parents and family; your career; your friends; your relations; your love; your future plans; entertainment… each deserving equal amount of attention!!! But what do we do??? We cling on to only a few of them… forgetting and neglecting the others… not knowing or understanding what we’re missing...
We cling on to a love… as if it’s the only thing in life… we go against our parents breaking their hearts and creating huge problems in their lives.
Sometimes we cling on to a love we lost… neglecting our careers, wasting life, time and our self…. Where as the truth is that we’ve lost only one of the important things in our life… without realizing that we waste our time; neglecting the other factors.
After some time… you stop to think and only to realize that you’ve missed out some of the most important things in life…
I say that its lack of vision and being naïve to do that… life is far too much to be focused only one thing… and to loose everything else…
Its easier said... Much harder to go through.... but truth remains as an unchanging fact... it's one of the few things thats important in your life...

What is really important is something completely subjective and it could change through time. There is no point in regretting something on hindsight because what may seem stupid or/and trivial now really was important at some point and that is what makes life so fascinating. I think it is necessary for one to follow through with what is important to him/her because it is better to learn from one's mistakes rather than wonder 'what if' after not doing something important to you.
Call me strange, but there is beauty in the self destruction of clinging on to a love lost. Some of the most poignant poetry, prose, music and art we know of today wouldn't be here if not for that.
Someone (Ive forgotten who) said that to be a poet one must be in love or in pain.That being said its no fun to be both at the same time.
So Sach, thanx but no thanx.I did write some good poetry, by I can do without the heartburn :)
You never think of prioritizing these things when they come along.You think its beautiful so its all you think about all day all night all through your life.Whatever happens with the relationship, if thats all thats there in your life, you'll be the deer caught in the headlights.You'll have nothing beyond that.Nothing to make you strong and independent.Nothing to make you less of a burden to anyone else, including your love.So what I say is life definitely should not be focussed on one thing,I totally agree with Thackshila.
If you look around society, the REALLY successful relationships are when those involved don't live "for" their other, but live "with" their other (im speaking in the abstract sense here, not physical.Don't go getting any ideas now).Mutually independent individuals coming together just for the sake of love.Each having their own life, their own ways of going about the world.one supporting the other but not dependent.Together but independent.Thats what I think a relationship should be.
(Id love to say Brad and Angelina as an example,but....I wont cos i really dont know enough about them.That being said, I really cant imagine Brad Pitt or Angelina Jolie dependent on anyone:emotional or otherwise)
a very vast subject to talk about.....
i think it's what perspective you work for...it's how you deal with things in you life...and what you prioritize....
Yes, there should be a balance between things.. but I think many people just 'go with the flow' and don't pause for a min to think....
Life sometimes just happens.... and u don't make enough effort to steer along... and instead, just ride..
Sach/ DIl and LD: thanks for your comments...
true i agree with your point.. importance change over time... and we do what we think is right at the moment...
I'm talking about holding on to them.. and messing everything up.. truely THAT cannot be right!!! see humans are emotional beings and we do mess things up over emotions.. but that is something that makes us human...
but like Dil says... we cannot hold on to just onething and be "the deer caught in headlights" I love that one mate.. good one...
going with the flow is not all my idea of life.. i'd be better off being in control.. atleast up to a certain extend!!!!!
