On a random bloggling (Googling blogs), I found a brilliant, soul-stirring and instigating quotation about Love. This is from the book, “Shantaram” by David Gregory Roberts. The quotation goes like this..
“Loves are like that. You heart starts to feel like an overcrowded lifeboat. You throw your pride out to keep it afloat, and your self-respect and independence. After a while, you started throwing people out – your friends and everyone you used to know. And it’s still not enough. The lifeboat is still sinking, and you know it’s going to take down with it. I’ve seen that happen to a lot of girls. That’s why I’m sick of Love.”
A toxicating relationship might not be worthy at all, especially if it constitutes
- Hiding your conscience from yourself
- Burying your soul in front of your eyes
- Stealing your own identity
- Shattering your dreams
- Making you fearful of everybody and everything…including yourself
I feel, the root cause of any disparity in a relationship revolves around a 3 lettered curse called “EGO”. If only, we can extort it out from our hearts and unveil the unconditioned love! One should experience the power of love to appreciate its greatness! Love is such a powerful healer which can ..
- Melt the frozen hearts
- Oxygenate the dying souls
- Make you look at only the lighter side of a situation
- Bring a nice smile for unknown reasons
- Indulge you in the world of HOPE!
****This can go infinite and I only mentioned few drop-lets!
We can either enjoy these positive aspects or get flushed away with those real tid bits! It is the choice that BOTH the partners in a relationship must consciously make. It need not be a happily-ever-after living… but how about an “egoless-ever-after” bond!
Good one. very well said.
