Out of sight is out of mind.

Saying goodbyes or departing from a nears and dears ones is never easy.

I have seen many tears rolling down the cheeks at departure terminals including mine..

I always had this fake illusion in mind that no matter how far physically someone is, as long as they are in hearts and minds, this distance does not matter.

Over these maturing years, time has proven me wrong. So much has changed now. The changes are at such a fast pace that its difficult to catch up for sensitive thinkers like us..

Practicality, rationality, being there are the new words. We cannot blame anyone now. If we are not available for someone at a particular moment, it means that person no longer exists.

Given the scenario of unable to reach at the hour of need:the demands of situations and times have become so bitterly cruel that one cannot escape on even a lame excuse or just by saying:

“Sorry I couldn’t make it!!!”

Sometimes some issues might not require those who are far away from us but those near by. Even if they can’t make it….They are out mind like a smoke…

I agree that unnecessary expectations kill a person’s dignity, both mental/physical health but thats where empathy comes. If two or more people living together not even at same place but let’s assume locality and are not able to help each other out at hours of need :There remains no reason to carry on with that someone anymore.

Despite blood relations, this is the lesson time teaches us. It’s much better to learn through other peoples’ experiences rather than being yourself a victim or the sample for dissection on a pettry dish like in a scientific lab!!!

This observation causes less damage to minds and souls. The sole key to sustainability.

Our relationships perhaps might not die if we understand this new formula of life. That the ones who were there at the hour of need are the only ones who would have come anyways at any cost and ones who were not, maybe were not there anyways even at first place.

We cannot blame the ones who have left us but we can stay true with our relations while they are around. Cherish, protect and take care of those smiles around us. 😊💞
