Blurred lines in Relationship
The relationships under the sun are never clear except between parents and children. Though we name it on various grounds: blood relations, workplace, dwelling factors and finally pecuniary. The list is exhaustive, and we can bind with anyone in our life, and it is not necessarily a human-to-human type. It could be a relationship with a pet or a materialistic one. Sometimes it extends with something that is never visible, but more feeling based.
We never think when we start a relationship especially with close people, parents, siblings, and closer relatives as we grow up with them. It is a natural phenomenon but why is it that these close relationships also fail sometimes or does not serve the purpose?
The reason is as simple as “Soul Connection”
The bond between you and your spouse or girlfriend is equally divine and long lasting as long as souls are connected. But your heart breaks because trust breaks and expectations are not met. Who sets these expectations and who expects is a part of a vicious cycle and switches like alternating current.
Among all of the above, a special relationship emerges: friendship.
We can say it is truly a wireless one but an effective one as long as expectations are in check. There is a thin dotted boundary line between friendship & companionship or live in relationship. There is a probability that friendship can be converted to any relationship but vice versa is seemingly impossible. The dotted lines are person specific, and maturity driven. We always look for a person who is close to our soul, who can listen to us with whole heart, who empathizes with our situation, who guides us patiently without many expectations and finally who stays with us in all frames of life screen. Is not the person we sought is a “true friend “and you have a relationship called friendship?
A wizard asked to define a friendship, and then I encountered this thought.
When you have no one to call or do not want to call existing relations, then you call a friend and he/she is an absolutely true friend who you scolded limitlessly, disliked for meager things but still loved from the heart with a dotted line in its place. There is an ongoing war in Ukraine and imagine the person who helped you “after you lost everything in life “is a stranger. Eventually you might become friends and start setting expectations for each other and living a clean life with souls connected. But it might converge further (closer) or diverge further (truly far) ….
The point where it starts converging or diverging is where the friendship ends for a good or bitter purpose in life. This is like a stage of “connecting the dotted line “or “wiping the dotted line” as elucidated in antecedent paragraph.
Ultimately a friendship is eternal because: This relationship is driven by soul factor instead of earthly factor or social factor or whatever…
“It starts from your soul when you are never aware of the future, it happens, I mean Just happens”
When someone still thinks why it happens, probably he/she has yet to encounter “an absolute connection”
