Fading Memories...

When we were kids, friendship was meant to be pure, fight was meant to be fair and love was meant to be unconditional. As we grow up, though the theoretical definitions remain the same, the practice differs. We make friends to get benefits, fight mostly stands for back-biting, and love??? Well, that is the costliest commodity of the market. It literally takes everything from you, well, whether in terms of money or something else.

Why such transition? As we grow up, we make friends; rather new friends, every other day. We stay together as if we are bound by a destiny, but in many cases, people realize, later on in the life, that it is all a joke; that they were being used for some body's personal benefits. Many times, this remains true in the case of love also.

My mother once told me and I quote:

Any thing or any one who is there for you in the worst times of your life is actually worth having. Rest, as they say, "sab maaya hai (everything is an illusion)". 

Earlier on, I never realized what she meant by these lines, now I do. Having so much of pain in relationships all around me, I now understand what she meant. I am thankful to God for giving me friends upon whom I can rely upon, though not many in number, they are precious.

The question still lies in front of us, what makes us forget everything we are told or taught during our childhood in context of relationships and behavior? I can't simply believe that some people are born cunning, But if not, why do they do such things?

I just recalled a quote from Facebook:

Bigset problem in love:

Good guy gets wrong girl

Good girl gets wrong guy

They fall in love & Good 1st get cheated

Now the Good guy thinks all girls r fraud & Good girl thinks all guys are flirt..

when good guy meets good girl They avoid falling in luv and become just good friends

And when they continue 4 longer they come 2 know that they r in love n now they dont have guts to express as they r already been cheated.

And so the true love dies.

I guess this might also be one reason for such broken and incomplete relationships. Not just in case of love, but consider something similar in friendship too.
