Its never so refreshing and rejuvenating than being in the midst of huge bunch of people and still alone sitting in a corner and exploring and analyzing every phenomena occurring.
I just forgot it was the Rose Day! People had roses with them gifted by their loved ones may be, happiness in their eyes. Just then I noticed a girl with a bunch of roses. I thought "Wow! She got so many of them", but no, she went into a shop and gifted one rose to the owner saying "I shop from here very often and thank you for being so helpful". I had never witnessed something like this ever. Often we talk so idealistically but when it comes to incorporating those ideas into practice we generally back off. But this was treat to the eyes.
Then a second angle was added to this thought. One of my friends' said "Valentines' week is just a money making trick, they sell an ordinary rose worth 20-50 bucks. Gifting a rose is not something bad, but if the girl had gifted it on 15th of February (after the D Day), those shop owners would still have felt over-whelmed".
I found "a little" logic into this argument.
I am planning of talking to some more people over this issue. Its important what a "Random Sample" thinks.
Sometimes ago whenever I used to look at someone sitting all alone in a crowded place I used to think how tough is his/her life without friends or without a good company. Now when I am experiencing this peaceful time all alone but with myself it feels a new energy has surrounded me which makes me think in a positive way.
Its not important that your friends sit around you all the time, what is more important is that they stay with you forever although veiled and come out of the fog whenever you need them. Those who sit around you every moment are the ones whom you need to survive, in this fast moving world and mind it, there is a thin line of difference between them and your friends in real sense.
My Dad says, "Lion never hunts in a group", you need to walk alone to achieve what you want, you cannot drag somebody with you where you want to go. But then when I see the reality, it tells a different story. Every one here has few people around them who would help him/her to surpass all the difficulties of their day-to-day life. Those who move alone are termed egoist or abnormal or "how he manages alone?".
Why do we need to socialize if this phrase is true? In today's age they say if you don't have good relationships with your counterparts and colleagues you'll be behind every time you need your work to be done. In short, those counterparts are taken as ladders to walk ahead and up. Now we can very well see the contrast between idealism and the so-called practicality.
I am pondering upon this issue for so long and hope to find the answer soon!
