BEWARE PESSIMISTIC BULLSHIT UP AHEAD…
Hi…!!!
Well it’s been a while since I posted…had my exams and all…so was keeping fairly busy. Anyways that’s all over now so I am back with another post. My last blog entry was pointed out as an incongruous bit of writing on an equally absurd topic :P.
Well then I’ll try and do better this time. Am dealing with something far more serious in this post…something which delves deep into our lives.
A couple of days ago during one of my numerous inane wanderings on Orkut…I came across this quote on a friend’s profile…
Newton’s fourth law — “If you run around a tree fast enough, you can fuck yourself.”
Now before the ethical ones stone me to death for such a corny joke…I beg of you guys to read till the end…at least I’ll be ready for any tomatoes tossed at me by then.
Well some of you would have recognised the aphorism incognito that it is. Yet there maybe many ways to interpret it (the more exciting ones being the literal ones), but as I sifted through them, I couldn’t help but pick the one i am about to dissert on.
Now I am sure that many of you, through the course of your lives, have been let down by people most trusted by you. People who you loved, people who you trusted. But then life is not a bed of roses and you have to descry your own share of thorns. Some of the most stinging gashes, are I believe residuum of betrayal by your best friends. But then what can we do about it, stop making friends…??? No I don’t think that is an option. But is it right to put so much trust in someone that you might falter in life, were you let down by them. No it is most bigoted to be subjected to such potholes in life. But then no one tells you what to do about it, alas they all say c’est la vie. Well one of the ways about it is, limit the people you trust. Let none be indispensable for you. And thou shalt not be disillusioned. But then is this way not too pernicious, too inhumane.
Instead of this one can take a more middle path. Don’t do more than you are required to, if you are bent upon being a saint, then don’t expect payback. All deeds done should be done without an expectation of having the tables turned someday. It’s best to not expect your friend to be as faithful as you are. You give your heart to the relationship but your friend does not reciprocate, it’s bound to hurt, no human being is above such feelings. Don’t do so much that you are disheartened, if your efforts go unacknowledged. You do not deserve to be treated to such agony (and believe me it really is hurting). I am not asking you to be treacherous; I am just advising you to not run so fast that you end up getting hurt. And it is a general rule in life, something which I have learned the hard way, don’t give anything so much that you are disappointed at the returns. I am writing this post in the hope that maybe you will take heed and not commit yourself to a life fraught with disappointments. Time runs short, I’ll take leave early this time, hope u can forgive me for the abrupt ending.

And before I leave, I guess to add my individuality lets say…don’ run ‘round the tree so fast, that u end up fuckin urself.
Peace…!!!
