“How people treat you is their karma; how you
react is yours.”
– Wayne Dyer
Two feelings that has the potential to take us on a trip to either hell or heaven, are, ‘ordinary’ and ‘special’. How do these affect us? When we have someone in our life whom we consider so special that we often go out of
character and do things just to be with them or satisfy and make them happy.
Human heart is designed to feel wanted. Yes! A person who’s always alone can only pretend to be happy and contended. We are social animals; we cannot lead an entire life without each others’ presence.
Mental dilemma occurs when we are faced with a situation where we give and give, yet, the feeling of special bond from someone doesn’t seem to germinate. To put in simple terms, the troubled situation arises when someone is really special to us, and we treat them in a special way too. But, if that doesn’t get reciprocated, when we think that we are also special to that person, and they treat us like ordinary, mind goes on a questioning spree. It is a difficult feeling, but, we have control only over our feelings and emotions and expressions, not on the other person.
There can be two steps to battle when mind is disturbed in situations like these. Know them well; understand and learn how close they are with us on different occasions of being alone, in a group, etc. If the person’s actions prove to be a demonstration of their affection towards you, then be as you are; and, if not, adapt yourself sooner.
Throwing every single person out of one’s life for these things can lead to mental mayhem. So, restricting the emotions and channeling them appropriately will help in smooth flow of the friendship or any relationship, without jeopardy.
Hoping and waiting that one fine day, the person might get to realize the true care and love that we shower, and treat us the way we have been treating them, is also not a bad thing to do, but, it also depends on the person. Blind love should undergo molding if it gives too much pain or takes away the peace of mind. Love is actually simple in reality. We just need the right amount of maturity and understanding to give it a better platform in our lives.
