One life,many phases,hundreds of friends,thousands of memories....But how many of them are still in touch? In today’s world we say oh it’s so easy to be in touch...we have facebook,we have twitter and so on...but if we ask ourselves honestly ;how many true friends do we have? One,two or may be none....today’s competitive world has taught us to be fast and furious,to be edgy and smart..but at the same time it has taught us to be unforgiving, selfish and self centred.I was reading a status message in a friend’s update that it is very hard to let go....and this has become so true!
I can take examples from my own life where my so called “friends” became so competitive and self centred that they effortlessly forgot all the wonderful moments we shared together. They just want to remain ahead of each other in the race of life...a better job,better looks,better dresses,better status and in the attempt of doing so,we are loosing pace with ourselves. We are loosing our emotions and turning into mere stones....
But why have we become so unforgiving? How are we gaining from this kind of behaviour? Why can’t small things of life give us happiness? Why are we so jealous and self centred?
Well.... I don’t think any of us have the answers . The only thing we can do is go back into our past lives and think of the innocent and beautiful moments we shared with our loved ones,the unselfish attitude we had towards the society,the unconditional love we once shared with our friends .
Perhaps we all can try to be little more accomodating,a little more understanding,a little more sacrificing so that we do not loose out true friendship and love while climbing stairs of success and status in our busy lives!
i loved this one...i still remember in classX mohan sir told us before our borad exams that once we are through the school we wil not be able to get together as whole class again... we laughed at it and said " no we will keep in touch" we were so wrong and he was so right...
