Love and Friendship

Has it ever happened with you that the person you like/love doesn't like you back? If it hasn't....then you are missing an important part of life..."rejection". However painfully it seems...it unknowingly teaches you loads of things. I have learned a lot and keep on discovering new things about myself everyday. Actually...we all do that.

People have this pre-conceived notion about "Love = Friendship" after watching lots of Bollywood Movies. I think that Love & Friendship are the base for any relation. "Love" is a very relative term and each one has different views about it. But what I want to showcase is when these two things get mixed.

Love after Friendship-
This is where the term love is friendship comes. You CANNOT love each other if you are NOT friends..! I mean...you can't just see a random stranger and then say that I love him without even knowing him. Friendship slowly blossoms into love...it should be from both ends. Sometimes we know that it is happening...sometimes we don't..!

The other thing that again brings in "rejection" is if it is only from one of the person. This makes the people say that Love and friendship can never go hand in hand and many other things. Actually....both the people involved in this case or not at fault. I mean....you like someone...that someone doesn't like you back. Cannot get simpler than this! But these are some of the things in life....easy to say....hard to follow. But its like....the other person has committed no mistake and somewhere friendship is affected....sometimes till the person moves on....sometimes for ever...

But like all problems....this 'problem' does have a solution. But it differs from situation to situation...so wouldn't go into detail of those.

Friendship after Love-
This is the POST break-up period. You both loved each other. Now either of you don't...or you can't be together...BUT...."we'll just remain good friends" is crap. It never happens. If it was just a fling or not so serious relationship....it is possible. Coming out from a relationship and then being friends....seems difficult. If you both are MATURE enough....it is not a problem....but it rarely happens....those memories start haunting you. That is BAD.

Any solution for this....umm....STOP talking to each other. It will hurt...obviously...but then we humans have a beautiful ability called as "adaptability"......we ADJUST....we have no other option.

Lastly.....I can only say.......all of us run behind things which we don't get....and in that forget to value the things we have.....BUT....if we GET everything that we want...."LIFE" would lose its meaning......
