I'm gradually learning not to get attached to people, to manipulate things, to pretend like a chameleon..
no, not like chameleon.. like a human instead.. since the later kind seems much more skilled in that..
attachment is bad. i always knew it. but then that's human nature, to pretend, to act against oneself. i thought i am more than what i am. consequences...
that's what people call "fraud", "ditch", "breach of trust".. etc etc...
that's what people call, "taking advantage"
but then, are we not always told to, taught to do just that? take advantage?
the whole human civilization progresses on that..
progress.. such a funny term!
do we "progress" in love? affection? relationships?
does relationships "progress"?
at what point do you decide that you don't need someone? something?
what do you decide to do after that?
with it? with yourself?
burn it? throw it? crush it? forget it? ignore it? REPRESS IT?
IT will Return.. for sure..
yeah! psychoanalytic crap!
what did you expect?
Intellectual debates?
you know what, i have realised that if we can stirke a balance between what we call being politically correct, manipulative and being unpretentious, candid, expressing warmth; things are not too bad! come to think of it, the old bengali saying of 'sthan, kaal and patro', is extremely crucial. once we can categorise these three things then life really becomes simpler.
ReplyDeletewhat say?
well, I see, you've fixed the first and the third quite nicely. I on the contrary have always been trying to beat the middle one. haven't succeeded as yet! I believe that may bring the balance!
