A friend of mine had arrived early this morning for an interview apparently and he happens to be very close to me. After spending the whole day with him, when the time came to drop him at the location where he would get picked up by his intercity coach, he said something that was so profound that it still rings in my head - The KNOCK on my head that I keep talking about.
I had once questioned the ‘Act of God’ in one of our conversations when I spoke to him about my dad’s death about 12 years ago in a freak road accident. I had asked him the meaning of that event. I asked him if it had anything to do in shaping my destiny. Well, he had no answer then. However, he casually states today, that ‘One feels a lot more comfortable with happenings in life and gets to be a lot more practical when this person has lost something/something that had been very very close to the person’s heart. He would be more likely to let of Emotional attachments, human bonding and such like in this case.
I am comfortable with people walking in and out of my life. I don’t cry over petty things. I can come out of relationships at the snap of a finger. I love with a passion but I can let go of my love if I wanted to or had to. I can come to terms with my life and whatever it has to offer, with an ease which might make me look like a robot, lacking of feeling, humanity and compassion. Is it all because of what I had lost when I was just 13 years old? I don’t know anyway.
This is not a research finding and I don’t claim its authenticity. But It does sound like a distinct possibility. Doesn’t it?

Yes i agree that ppl become very practical.mind u.. not everyone.it depends on how u take it.coming out of the relationship wont help,u shud leave the sad memories too..then i can say u came out at the snap of finger.when u loved some one with passion u wont let it go.i dont think u’ll get a situation where u “HAVE” to let go of ur love untill u know it was a wrong choice. No it’s not all b’cos of what u lost at 13,it’s cos ur not leaving the sad memories..(shows how human u are)As far as i see…u have a thick shield around u which is talking all these look like robot,lacking of feelings,humanity etc..but inside, you are also a normal human beeing who wants to cry like a baby for all the tears u’ve been holding from the age 13 and u are scared of urself,lying to urself. Think again!
I thought..thought..thought..and so very thought…I conclude that being human is boring…all that emotional baggage makes us look sissy…eh? I admire machines…
Do u feel crying is sissy?!!I dont think so..every human has to cry n feel for everything around him one day or the other..its all in the package called birth! u’ve born as a human so accept the fact!u can admire machines but dont forget ur a HUMAN and u cant live ‘only’ with machines.
