OF RELATIONSHIPS......
Poetess Shaiqua Murshed
Relationships,
to a large extent, make up our lives. Whether with the animate or the
inanimate, there is a feeling attached to them all, some positive, some
otherwise.
While many of us try to keep our lives clean and balanced, live it the way we wish to with our ethics, morals and principles intact, people change them for us. And we have to juggle lies, deceit, cunning and all other nouns and adjectives that sum up Man’s depravity.
We are victims of circumstance, yet we have to survive, and to survive we have to overcome and accept so much in life, the negative and the positive: broken relationships, divorces, expected deaths, untimely deaths, failure, humiliation, heartbreak.
The positives sit easier, we accept them with joy.
We can overcome the negatives if we wish to and if the circumstances so demand it.
Life is one of concessions, of coming half way, but trust is such a component, there is no compromise. Once trust is broken, it cannot be built back.
