Life is a delicious ambiguity

“I wanted a perfect ending. Now I have learnt, the hard way, that some poems don’t rhyme and some stories don’t have a clear beginning, middle, and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what is going to happen next. It is a delicious ambiguity.”

−Gilda Radner

As a child, the most fairy tales I read had a king, queen and a bad person. The hero and heroine usually managed to get rid of the bad person and then they lived happily ever after. However, life is not like that. It may be a continuous struggle or a proportional mix of ups and downs. If you want something, you may have to fight for it and still you may not be able to get it. Life is about not knowing what is going to come next and dealing with it. 

When life appears out of control

If you try to hold the flow of water with your hands, it will break off from your hands and find its own way. It you let it flow, it shall find its own path, sometimes even by craving out the stones on its way which try and obstruct its flow.

Life is similar to the flow of water.….

Life is full of both ups and downs. When life seems out of control, all looks lost and there appears to be no way out, just watch patiently and let life flow like water. In most of the circumstances life would sculpt out its own course. Don’t resist the series of natural and spontaneous changes which the life presents to you. Before you have actually realized, the life would have carved its own path.   

love is blind

"Love is blind because my mother started loving me before seeing my face." 

Love is a beautiful feeling, but love is often blind. We might adorn our love on a person who does not deserve our love at all. Loving such people would only emanate much pain and sufferings. Some people don’t deserve our love and bestowing such feeling on them may in fact result in back-stabbing and hatred from their side.

Have you come across a situation in any relationship which has led you to believe that the love is blind? 

How far can you go in love?

How far would you go for someone you love?

Let’s start by answering the poll on the right hand side of this blog.

What would be your answer?

I will do anything for love

I will do most things for love

I will do only things as per my convenience

I will not do most things for love

I will not do anything

Though it is not possible to measure love, the extent to which the person can sacrifice himself or herself can serve as an indirect measure of the depth of their love. True love stands beyond the boundaries of sacrifice because true love never asks for sacrifice but at the same time is never afraid in even sacrificing everything for the person or thing they love.

Does this kind of love exists in reality or it occurs only in stories? What are your views regarding this?

Expectations: source of all frustration

When expectations arise in any relationship, it is likely to result in much frustration and despair. One must try to love life and people around them without having any expectations from them.

A beautiful thing is never perfect

Anything beautiful is bound to have imperfections. This is a rule of nature, nothing in this world is 100% perfect. It may fade with time…. It would be associated with its own flaws…

No doubt love is a beautiful feeling, but it is associated with its own negativities. One such major defect is expectation. One is bound to have endless expectations from the people they love. Expectations can sacrifice any relationship.  Besides that, like every other relationship love too can be marred with feeling such as anger, jealousy and even hatred at times.

Can love take you places?

Love is a beautiful thing, not a substance, but a feeling, something more valuable than any material substance in this world. Even if you are penniless love can make you feel like a king….It can bring about that joy and happiness which no money can buy.

Love is not to be confused as lust or mushy feelings. True love is always pure, transparent and lies above all the worldly barriers. Love is also not to be sought as an emotion between man and woman or a boy and girl. Pure love lies above all that. love can be described as a feeling which gives you a sense of belonging... someone to look upon when you are in despair, grief or joy. If you have someone to share your feelings, your joys can magnify by several folds and your sorrows can divide by several folds.

What are your views? Do you think that love can really take you places or otherwise. Do you think that love can help you climb the tallest mountain and cross the deepest sea...
