I remember a dialogue from some movie- “girls are like buses, they come an go… but of all those buses, there is only one which takes u back home”
Relationships are like home.. mother, father, brother, sister, form a person’s lifelong home. So why I’m I connecting it all to marriage….
Off late a conflicting thought occurred to my mind.. especially given today’s next gen ways of life …
people date unnumbered times and then make pick for a compatible soul mate . But once they choose one.. they go blind for others, for a girl, guys other than her beloved turns a “another guy” and not the ‘guy next door’ no matter how charming he seems or is.. same follows for men .. (talking of ideal situations 😉 ) Thus, marriage, which people say is a commitment, and which indeed is a commitment, actually is just a disciplinarian.. It teaches you to discipline yourself!
However, if one chooses to stay free, or had marriage or any such commitment not served the purpose.. what difference would have it made…
You could still be open to options, you could still explore, choose more further, but then … ’till when’ – that becomes questionable!!!
Hence, goes the old school thought – ” too much of anything is bad” even freedom..!!
Life is not lived alone, marriage is not a restriction but just a disciplinarian, it is like a home..
where you come back after a hard, or a good or bad day at of your life;
a place where u feel like getting back to after a enjoyable vacation;
like simple food, which you long to savor even after relishing the best spreads in the best best of the hotels
it is where you can be you, in totality, completely unmasked..
And nonetheless, your partner is your true best friend, the only relationship but one the most beautiful one, which you get to choose in life!
So cherish it, rather than cribbing on seeing someone’s else home’s and gardens of life.. coz the grass is always greener on the other side..!! 🙂
