80-20 ratio!!!

...One of my good friends at work told me that I had not blogged for 8 days and hence this one. For days altogether, a lot has been happening around me, surprisingly not with me (!). Routine is boring they say, but sometimes, routine is what you need in life. Sums up my state.

Coming back to whatever is happening around me - I realize how complex life is at all times for different people. Isn't it strange how two people, once so very much in love, turn the worst of enemies. Suddenly for them, their ideas don't match, their dreams are different, they are chasing different directions, the faith once so deep goes in thin air, and their lives become a big mockery in public.

However, there is something that I have been thinking for last two days now, thinking really hard...why does it happen - is it availability, is it the culture, or do I blame it on the relationships that go dead? I think there is an inherent need in everyone to have that Mr Right or Ms Right who can sweep you completely off your feet and forever go on doing that. If you realize over a period of time that your girlfriend or your spouse ain't 100% perfect, will you ignore that 80% perfection in her? You may find the remaining 20% perfection in that one person around you, who suddenly fits into your 100% perfection bracket and becomes your soulmate you would readily die for. But, hold on, do you know if this person would have that 80% that your girlfriend or your wife had? The answer is NO. You don't know because you can't know that in the few hours that you would spend on this new person everyday. You have known the 80% in your wife/girlfriend only because you have spent that kind of time with them. You take them for granted. If you realize the fact that every human being would have that 20% missing in him/her, only to be filled in by 80% of rest other things, you will also realize the fact that a long relationship is worth a million dollars. Don't let go of those long relationships that you built over time, investing your emotions, your dreams, your thoughts, your time, your egos, and most of all your own self. We all have flaws, no matter how immaculate we may look.

If you are wondering what this is all about....this is all about the fact that sometimes you grow out of people in your close proximity and well, count your lucky stars for it can happen to anyone. Trust me when I say this - we are all puppets here, doing what God wants us to, at any given point in time. In addition to what I just said, one should always remember - life comes full circle. What you give to others is what you get. No matter who wins or who looses in life, we all will pay for whatever good or bad we did/do in our lives. Scary, ain't it, but a fact.

Am sure my friend at work would wonder what's got into me...well, nothing really...something that has been on mind for long, but did not get the push to write. Thanks for the push (even if it was a notification dailogue LOL) and will end this post with a note for you: " Every time you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a gift to that person, a beautiful thing.”. So smile a lot. And thanks for all your help today.
