Between People

I am constantly amazed by the relationships between people. How a simple word, a shrug, an unbidden smile can signify the beginning, or the end of a beautiful friendship. The dynamics between two people, be they friends, family, or lovers is never a linear path. Often, we find it to be a twisted path. At times narrow and bleak, at times showing the beauty of this world.

In relationships, I guess that it is a most edifying and enlightening experience to be on the receiving end of forgiveness... And, I would imagine, to be the one forgiving others. We all make mistakes. Often, it takes but one party to make the first move, and a beautiful relationship is preserved. Often, in our anger, pride, shame, we forget that there is no 'right' or 'winners' in matters relating to others. And this often signals the end for many, whom fate has brought together.

I would like to live to see a world where people would take pains to treasure their friends and loved ones... Keeping close those who are true, rather than those who are 'better', because there can be no one better, than the one who is true to you.
