Relativity.

March 21,2007.

Theory of relativity is something i never really had the time to go through. Still, my mind made an attempt to apply it to something which I havent quite thought of. I know many a times there are things we really dont understand or atleast we try not to understand them.We often find it the best to skip through unfavourable thoughts. Here are some thoughts that accompany me these days.

The other day, i asked my friend why did he/she consider me as a friend. The obvious answer was on its way, cause i was a nice person, that i was caring, loving and blah blah blah.......This is not a place to discuss if all or any of it was true. The question that really struck me was, "What if I was bad or I was made bad by circumstances?"May be here comes the theory of relativity.

Everything/Everyone in this world, probably friends too, is relative, i thought. If due to reasons unknown, i become really bad, behave in a bad way, then i might lose all my friends and i am quite sure most, if not all, wont ask why i behaved the way i did. They may just find my behaviour or abuse the sole reason of ending friendship which has been nurtured since years. It further means, i am your friend cause you want someone nice,someone who can please you,impress you. So are you being selfish? Ofcourse you are.But then, who is not?

So what to do when you are caught in your thought? Think , think and think, only intelligence is not enough, my sir used to say. Friendship is something not defined. You dont have to refer your rule book to figure out how to react or rather respond. Its the "feel", the "bond", that keeps our friendship alive.

Friendship is more than that.
