Relations
A Relation is not an emotion,
Mistily, it is yet an emotion,
It is never, transparent fully,
Mistily, it is yet a motleyed notion.
We have different relations with the people around us. Not to mention it is a fundamental need. At some age parents are most essential and at some age friends and a point arrives when a partner cannot be dispensed with. And later in life, kids and support and all the obvious relations that exist.
But every relation is finite and limited. For everyone want their own happiness from others and nothing else. Every relation built and mantained is for one's own pleasure or need, now or later. Kids are cute and adorable because they are so innocent and sinless. But apart from that, why do the parents 'love' their kids ? Isn't their an expecation hidden, that the child shall support us in our days of feebleness. I do not belittle this attitude, but I can also not neglect it. Why do we make friends ? For others ? Or for our own company and socializing... It is all a give-and-take. One may scorn such views as disparaging but it is the very basis of our kinship. Why do we cry when someone dies ? Is it for them ? It is for our own selves.
Talking of relations, sometimes I feel that the teacher-student relation has been much hypersanctified. Everybody works for money and recognition and that is for themselves. They claim students are not interested in studying or gaining knowledge rather passing away with minimal work. But think, why would someone gain knowledge ? For money and recognition... What else ? So why the grading of interests...
Not the forget the much exaggerated and fancied lover relationship. Unconditional love is much different from what we see or hear around us. It is too rare to be experienced rather seen even, by everyone. But the crimson red emotion has its own wonders.
Love. True when there is no expectation left and no desire except existance.
