A Conversation

‘’The more the merrier” is an oft quoted phrase, but in reality “Quality Matters Over Quantity” is becoming a market tag line. Either business or everyday life, I believe that the latter sounds more practical and enduring. I am 19 and I have been growing up meeting and encountering different people belonging from different social and economical structures. The one moral drawn from each story is, how people constantly change and evolve through different phases and time. This evolution always comes along with innumerable people running around and within.

Personally I had met few people who I hoped to be with in years to come, but have eventually chose their own paths to walk by. Such diversions are not always easy to accept but as time goes we meet new people and make new memories, replacing the old. Amidst all these peaks and valleys, there will always be few countable heads who never ever leave our side no matter whichever way we had choose to behave. Life choices are not something that must necessarily originate from only external factors. Few dilemmas are based upon our conscious thoughts and choices we make. Being able to realise and understand the value of those who stays, including family , we begin our journey towards maturity.

Struggles come from environment as well as within. But all of them are completely based on our self-take and perspective. Struggles are meant to be challenging and of course cannot be mistaken as easier ones. But choosing to tackle them smartly and yet gracefully is what ultimately counts. One thing to note is, we should never ever judge and weigh other’s struggles to ours. Not even identical twins go through the same changes and phases of life. So attempting to standardise a subjective concept can always turn fatal. Instead of trying to balance and disbalance, we can be a better listener and a doer by understanding a situation from the subject’s perspective and then placing ourselves in their being to relate better. But discounting what others go through and laughing at their tough times, is a nincompoop act. Who knows that my struggles are the everyday encounters of someone else who has just passed by?

This article is not meant to target any specific group of audience. It can be read as words pertaining to our everyday life and everyday choices affecting our behaviour. Respect should not be bind only in case of gender talks or sexual assaults, but in a quotidian space involving me, you and all of us, all the time.
