Relationships: An Unpredictable...

Two days back I got a call ..it was my friend's call. We are talking to each other after couple of months. She has spoken to me with great difficulty because she was depressed, shocked and very sad. The talk was continued for 10-12 minutes. she is dear friend of mine. After talking to her I was very sad. I was just thinking about love, life and relationships..have these golden words lost their "real" meaning. Now a days each and every relationship is starting from selfishness, greed and ending at same note. We are always in hurry, we don't have time to understand anyone not even ourselves. We don't know what we want from life, where we are going. We are just keep on going and loosing everyone one by one.
Now a days "I" has become predominant and this is the reason for all kind of sufferings. to be very frank we are living in most unethical society, where "trust", "respect", "friendship" and "life" has no value. They are meaningless, valueless. I feel mankind is going into self destructing mode. People are thinking that each and every act of theirs are for their benefit but actually it is for none.
You can be son/daughter, sister/brother, father/mother, friend, husband/wife for someone in this world. One day you will find that in reality you are alone....and this is because you have lost all the atributes of humanity..you are dead ....you "died" before your death. This is one of the ugly face of life..which no one understands But.....they are keep going in the same direction - A directionless journey.

Hi Shalabh,

Your thoughts are just SUPERB!!!the article really forces one to stop the speed at which we are going and think for a sec to look around ourself and question ourselves as to what we have achieved in terms of relationships , happiness and peace at the end of the day .....

Some one has truly said ....

You are Rich or Poor in life by..
Smiles around you.
Friends you make .
People you are with.
Ideas you have.
Dreams you chase.
Love you spread.

How Rich are you now....?

Hi
Nice thoughts but out of sinc with the world around!Yes people are very mean today, in fact the most but human nature is such! If one can overcome this then nothing like it! People will think,sympathise, have eampathy but again will do the same thing.This is typical animal like behaviour,sad, so plaese do mind that humans are also animals, may be a social animal!We the social animals have made our rules and scales to gauge every thing.So at the end how you have performrd as a social animal on the set gauges matter to the society (jungle)around! We get entraped in our own vicious circle and then blame ourselves.Let us change this..why not start today! Can we train our next generation that is our children not to be materilistic,lets not gauge them by their relative success as per our social scale.Do we have courage to pat the back of our child who though understands english,maths and science and can apply in general day to day life but fairs badly in the school exams!I think no. Forget your pat,the society will not accept this. Here lies the fault.We encourage our child to do homework and study well for retured favours like gifts and other goodies...are we helping them to learn or changing their mindset as per the requirment of the society(Jungle),that all things should be rewarded and weighed in terms of achivements...we really have to start from the scratch..in fact change the rules of the game....then probably we will get the human touch back which is eroding like our ozone layer very fast!

This is very depressing and very unlike you. I must say that I've always found like-minded people coming together and hence there has been for no reasons, any so called "ugly faces" pooled into the crowd at all. That happens very rarely only during testing times when we are thrown into the fire altogether and even then(!) the power above pitches in, to give his mighty arm to pull us out of the fire - my few thoughts!! So what remains is whatever u do, do it with moral and spiritual biding and let HIM take care of the rest!
