There is no magic in this world..

Recently, I heard someone say, "nothing thats worth having in this world, comes easy". It took me a moment to understand what this actually means and then, all of a sudden, for no reason at all I mapped it to human relations. "We cannot choose our relatives, dats why God gave us friends", said a wise person and yet when it comes to mending relations we are always found wanting.

Human relations are based on likes and feels, so its no magic that you tend to be close to people whom you like and with whom you feel comfortable. This set-up has its side-effects too, it magically gives these very people the power to hurt you the most deeply. Like, Julius Ceaser got the most deepest stab wound from Brutus, we get the most scarring wounds from someone we hold dear. Yet, when the person comes back to you, you forgive and forget; setting up yourself to be hurt again. The funny part is, you never regret letting the person back into your life even if it means you will be hurt again and again.

When you find a person who cares for you, who makes an effort to keep you happy and holds you dear, always keep them close to you. There are very few people in this world who would love you for no reason, parents; siblings; beloveds and friends to name a few. So when you mess up with one them, make an effort to make-up because they are worth it. They are worth every cent you spend to mend bridges with them, for without them, your life will not be the same again.

This brings us to "how do we do it ". Well, there are many ways to mend a relationship and waiting for things to magically mend themselves is never one of them. Time heals worst of the wounds but not a broken relationship, so next time you are guilty of hurting someone who is dear to you, dont wait for things to mend themselves; get out and get working to mend the fences for there are no quick-fixes or magical solutions and because someone wise said, "nothing thats worth having in this world, comes easy".

So long....
