Surviving Changes

I wrote this post some time ago - with pen and paper, which has become kinda luxury these days. I must admit, my head was not quite at peace at the moment, and now I wonder if it is alright going through all the trouble of typing this whole thing. But this blog hasn't had a post in along time, and though I now disagree with some of the things I wrote two days ago, there r still a few I agree with. So I guess, I ll just go ahead and type it - without any editing, coz that ll be another soul searching exercise, something am not quite feeling like just now. So keep reading....

A positive anything is better than a negative nothing. (from J.M.)

Relationships do not survive changes - change of place, change of job, change of plans.......well just about any kind of change.
Coz changing times are replete with a lot of pressure, crisis and truths untold or hitherto unknown.

It is the churning that gets the cream to the top - and in the grind of life we have to keep churning and re-churning ourselves the find out the truth about us and those around us.

In a comfortable day-to-day living, there are a lot of lies (it's the lying that makes life comfortable there) ; relationships also are a lot of lie ; but then the top layer is the first to be blown with the coming of a storm.
Lol!! I am loving Charles Darwin right now, coz he said long ago said only the fittest shall survive.

Another thing about changes is that they are propagatory in nature. One leads to another almost inevitable, and overall it is like a big cascade effect. Also even when it does not - people sort of assume that it should or it would.

I am trying to figure out some changes in my own life. Why, how, what, where - they are big enough questions at the moment. And to top it all, I know the world around wouldn't remain the same.
Relations, emotions, associations all will need a re-looking at. And I might not always like what I find.

Yes, it does look scary and unsettling, but then cleaning up is a dirty process in itself.

So , if I have let a lot of dust accumulate over the time, just to keep myself - or rather the appearance of me - clean, it is high time that some of it comes flying at my face.

I will be prepared then.

Relationships do not survive changes.
I've seen relationships which seemed the best, crumbling because of slightest of change. but i've also seen relationships weathering all changes and overcoming against all odds - only to get better.

relationships also are a lot of lie.
Thats generalization!!!
A relationship with 'lot' of lies would surely not survive test of time, but then i hv known relationships which did not survive because there were no lies in it, but only plain cold truth. Strange but true.

Why, how, what, where
there'd always be questions which would be big at any given time. and some of them might always remain unresolved - so there's another change which is involved here - which is changing yourself and making urself indifferent to the answers(which might or might not come) to these Q's.

but then cleaning up is a dirty process in itself.
Get Dirty!

Change is all about change!
And Relationship is all about being related inspite of the change!!

I believe that the strength of any relationship would be decided in time.. whether it withstands all such changes over time or not.

Time is a test of the Relationship.
But then, the strongest/loveliest relationship is not a function of time.

And in the cleaning business, I think, is more important to know that I let the dirt to accumulate. Then comes, the act of cleaning. I guess you are good at the former, you just need some practise on the latter.
