It is so important to understand a few
basic facts of life. One of THE most important ones is that "I" may
be extremely important to "ME" but not necessarily to others from
where one is watching. So often, this ignorance becomes a cause of great
emotional and mental suffering.
It is good to learn to say, "It is
okay" and bless everyone. In a world of time and space, we tend to measure
distances with our emotions. Emotions don't know how to rationalize or see
things clearly.
I have realized that distance and closeness
are mere illusory concepts. Who is close and who is distant? And what is the measure?
The measure is once more, nothing but our expectations. The other person may
not even remotely be thinking of you while you agonize over how close or how
distant or why close or why distant. Sounds a little foolish but we tend to do
this a lot.
Whether family or friends or acquaintances,
unless you need to measure the physical distance, and you can do that by
adjusting your spectacles, all "distance" is in our heads.
We also feel that someone who has not
communicated for a long time has "gone away" from us. Not true.
Getting involved in your life doesn't mean you don't care or that others don't
care.
There are many ways of thinking and
understanding. The one thing that works is living contentedly with you. People
know you are there. You know people are there. You have your priorities. They
have theirs. The heart is the biggest connection. If that continues, you are
okay.
