Unnecessary baggage

We came alone and we will depart alone too. Isn’t that what is always said? Then in that case shouldn’t we live the world for ourselves? Why the complications of thinking of the society at large. And when I say society I not only mean our own family but also the milieu of our acquaintances. I purposely leave true friends out as they are the only ones who do let us live for us without any judgment.

Why are we relegated to always wondering what the entire social fabric is going to think if we do this or if we do that? Why don’t we think how we will feel if we don’t do what we long for? I always say that at the end of the day when I look at the mirror I have to be able to look myself in the eye without any hesitation or ignominy. Till date I have been able to do so, most of the time, barring a few blue moons.

I remember once a friend had told me that we can’t and shouldn’t even try to find all that we seek from just one relationship. We all have different needs which are satiated in different ways. And the toughest of them all is the cerebral connect. Rarely do we find that chord and since its so elusive when we do, we shouldn’t let go at all. Hold onto it with all that you have got darling. Don’t carry the unnecessary baggage of the traditions.
