Diamonds In The Coal

There are all kinds of people whom we encounter in our lives. Some good, some bad, annoying, happening and what not. All these judgements by the way are particularly personal perceptions. When we call a person annoying it’s not him but our perception about him or her. Some might find the person amusing too. It is just about how we look at things. Sometime you don’t give a darn about a person but he or she makes it a point to stand by you. Let’s consider our parents for instance. They may not like certain things we do or don’t but when in need they are surely the ones to stand by our side without any ado. It happens that somehow we start taking certain people for granted and slowly start turning a blind eye and a deaf ear to everything they do or say.

Not just our parents but many people in general who are close to us or, kind of, care about what we do and don’t with our lives. We do not like some people. The way they talk, live, behave with us or anyone. They might have some annoying habits which tend to keep you off them but then there is what they feel for you. How much every you blame them, repel them, say all the possible worst things on the earth to them but they never budge. They stick with you all the way long. They offer you help and say “I’m there. You are my friend after all.” No matter how bad you have been to them prior to this. Things somehow never tend to bother them. Of course they must get hurt but somehow they have the strongest will power and firmest belief on their friendship or if not a friend their relationship.

That person can be anyone from a parent, a friend to a partner in life. There are people or couples you clash in life and wonder “How can he/she bear this? I would have kicked the hell out of the so and so person.” But that’s them and here are you. They have a strong endurance and tolerance but what is important is that you need to understand this at some point of time and really need to treat them right. If they were stuck to you in your thick and thin without expecting anything then they definitely deserve at least something, be it even some little thing that you can do. There is no point telling them to back off. Instead, you need to make a move and understand why do you find them so annoying? Is it their love, constant care, interference or what? You need to point out and try discussing things out. In some situations the person is not even someone close to you but they still keep on nagging. Obviously if you are someone who doesn’t like to open up to everyone and share everything with everyone, you will find it pesky. But then you need to drag the line yourself and try to explain things and sort them. Mind you, you need them more than they need you.

I mean, look at yourself. Are you that perfect? Don’t you yourself have any annoying habits which others might not stand? Come on nobody is perfect so evidently you are not an exception as well eh? You need to remind yourself that when you show someone down you are under the depths for someone yourself. It is not everyday that you get lucky with having someone to count on no matter what you do. So next time before repelling them or hurting them in any manner think about how they stick to you with all your faults and be with you no matter what blunder you yourself are. Trust me you won't need a lot of efforts as they really don’t expect much. All they need is the same love in response to the love they hold for you. Affordable right?

Cheers to you, cheers to lyf…!
