“Oh… If you are that sensitive, then probably I should be
careful about what I say, when am around you! I don’t want to lose you, do I?”
This is what one of my dear friends told me when I said I
don’t talk to people who make me feel offended. I pondered over what she said
and replied.
“Don’t you think that’s weird? I mean, people going to
extreme lengths, pretending to be someone they are not simply because they want
to be a part of your life. I mean it is great, of course. Such care and love is
truly remarkable but don’t you think that if people don’t love for who you are,
it would be better to avoid the pretense and quietly move out of their lives. You,
as you are, are a fine person. If someone is lucky to have you in their lives,
then they should realize your significance in their life and value and treasure
your presence. But, if it doesn’t work, why the pretense?”
“It is me who wants you in my life, right? So it becomes my
responsibility! Simple!”
“You don’t get the point, do you? True relationships are
based on a very strong foundation of trust, love & confidence. It is deeply
entrenched in the heart and has no barriers. Such relationships are pure and
have space for no pretense. Life should be a quintessence of such relations
rather than sacrifices. Because, by pretending you are sacrificing the “you” in
you…”
“Okkkk !!! Thank you Ms Philosopher. I take back everything

“Glad you show no sign of changing!”
