As the saying holds true, we cannot see the forest for the trees, when we are lost deep in our jungle, despite our own rational sense, we cannot see our way out except with the help of a guide - be it in the form of a higher power or more often than not, other individual persons. We need others.
Strangely when someone else is in the same position as ourselves, we can offer some consolation, advise. But we cannot see it for our own selves. It's easier to give advise then to follow. We need others.
When lighting another's way, some of that light is shed on my own path and I learn too.
No one is perfect. Not just love, but anger too is a natural part and parcel of our emotions, it lies dormant in us mostly, but the little aggravations that we face each time with minor conflicts and arguments with persons around us, lets us diffuse it gradually or in outbursts. If our life was too calm and smooth, how would we release that, like all forms of pressure it must soon find release and restlessness sets in. So non-congruent persons have a purpose too.
And so it goes on, the chain within the cycle of life, we move forward by affecting each other, we change, we think and move each other - in thoughts or actions. Every living being has a place and purpose. Each is a link that joins with another or forever breaks it. And then too, that break serves a purpose, to re-direct our course or to strengthen our path. A death we lament with memories and new life brings fresh thoughts, all touching us to lead us onto different paths.
We need others to lead fulfilling lives.
Who will I affect today ?
We most certainly need each other.

This is an amazing thought and I loved reading it BM. Actually I re-read it and found it so true.. Thanks for this wonderful blog. You make a difference to me...
ReplyDeleteYou are so right. We offer advice and comfort to others, but don't do it or even see that we need it for ourselves.

There is a balance somehow.. and you are correct in saying we do need others always, to fulfill our purpose and to give meaning to theirs'...

ReplyDeleteMy connection with you is the reason I could find a solution to my problem. I am glad I found your blog. You helped me because you experienced the system and no one I knew would have been able to do that. I was afraid but I am no longer because I took the steps.
