Relationships!!

Relationship is indeed something that has tickled me all my life-provoked me think over and reconsider many fact I used to believe. It has been sometime mortifying-sometime amusing and even sometime horrifying to me-watching how people go through this thing. Tell you a story-one of my distant friend Mr.X has been dating a girl since he has been into the university. Well, I hardly know much about the relation. All I could know is the girl used to study in a collage at a little town-far from Dhaka. Happy they seemed-with those night-chats over the cell phone for hours as I used to observe-romancing their way to some final destinations. And there came the crucial part then-they started fighting. I wouldn’t want to remember how disgusting it was to overhear those filthy word they used to each other-blaming what had been fallen upon them. Every alternative day-they had a fight-and the very next morning they were the happiest couple around. I was confused and startled-how could people so reluctantly and so abjectly move on with something like this for days?

There comes the evident question-why do we really get into a relationship? Is it because we want the peace of mind? Or is it just simply because of sex-that after those platonic stages we finally get the chance to get laid? Or is it just something that we just do instinctively-not with much thinking? Who has this answer?

Ah ha, touching..yet so scrumptiously vague :) Relationships are a matter of uncanny ambiguity, the very thing that makes it so irresistible, yet so angstful. Don't part with your illusions. Here's something I stole from a great post-depression era anarchist:

" Fiction is obliged to stick to possibilities. Truth isn't."

-- Mark Twain

That is why real life relationships are no where close to the melodrama that clouds our conscience. We are so used to seeing a cliché relation being developed between members of the opposite sex that reality often confuses us..for the better that is.


Also, that part about a special primal instinct is probably the only reason human beings (or any other living organism) dwell as creatures of this earth...except single cell organisms off-course, they follow the rule of mitosis :)

Have fun blogging.
