Being a circle
Have you heard of the story of the circle?
We have been brought up to believe that we are un-filled circles, circles with a slice missing in between. Stories of princesses finding the one true prince who would outshine them all, stories of knights in shining armour who will outwit the most evil of sorcerers to save us from our dreary existence.
However, as we move along the road of life, we begin to find that the people we meet rarely fill the hole in our hearts perfectly. Once in a while we tend to find those lucky people who do find the perfect fit, but how rare is that? It is like finding a needle in a haystack.
As the day wears on, we begin to fill the hole with other things which we find more important to us. Hobbies, friends, family, etc. Things that actually make us more individualistic, more fulfilled, less worried over the small stuff. We begin to forget about the need to find someone to fill the hole in our heart, as we ourselves are overflowing with love and the zest for life. Only then do we begin to live as we the solitary circle begin to fill up and walk down the road by ourselves without qualms.
I believe that is the way to live. And then should the day come, when we find someone who is walking the same path, in the same state of mind, we may find a companion to share our happiness, to share our enthusiasm for life, as happiness is best shared. But if it doesn't work out, then so be it. For there is nothing in the world we can lose from this unless we choose to. Such is life. :)
