Few are too busy with their lives to acknowledge it and few already have plans for their weekend!!! Either way, they seem to have more important things on their mind, than you. People are too busy earning their dimes the entire week and when the weekend comes, they plan on how they are going to earn the next dime starting next week. Friends don't drop in or call anymore. Priorities catch in and calenders fill up. But the fact remains that we take out time on our availability, comfort and requirement.
So if you are planning to die on a weekend, think again, people around you don't have much time. Unless you have scheduled an appointment and have asked people to keep their calenders free. Well, this situation is not too far off I guess!! You might even find a "like" status on your Facebook profile for such a status update.
Hey, lets catch up for a coffee?
Not today...weekend? If you are free...
I have something important to talk...
Oh is it...Ok I will call in the weekend.
Enough of this...our relationship is not working.
Not now baby...can we discuss this in the weekend?
Hey, I am dying..
I am in a meeting now...can you wait till the weekend? Lol
Why do all important things need to get to the weekend or scheduled to the end of the week? As a kid I was taught "do it now" and postponing a work is procrastination and its not the answer to be a successful person. Over a period the saying changed from "do it now" to "plan it now'
In a recent conversation with a friend and argument surfaced about what "concern" means to each of us. One said, concern is about caring about the person wholeheartedly and distance or boundaries were not limited. The other side of the argument was that a concern should also be acknowledged at times by showing it at the right time and with a right gesture. Too much of concern when not required was far more less important to that shown when required and made at the right time. Both had our side of the argument which none of us won. But later, when thought about the discussion, it felt that it was not only about how much you care about a person but it is also about letting the person know that you care for him, timing is definitely the key.
Out of our busy lives with day in and day out of work load, our pursuit for happiness is only left in planning. I don't know if I can generalize the situation elsewhere but people around me have become so busy with their luxurious daily survival struggle which at times keeps me thinking if they would be able to take out time on someones unscheduled death, out of their planned schedule, if it is ought to be so.
Funny, were the days when I reached the skies.
Funny, were the days when I counted the stars.
Race is the way of life today,
Funny, that I need to plan my days now.
Funny, were the pranks I played.
Funny, were the lies I made.
Time seems a distant travel,
Funny, that I need to plan my time now.
Funny, what money meant.
Funny, how gestures were spent.
Coins replaced the pockets,
Funny, that I plan my numbers now.
Yes!! Things around us do change with time and people. Most valued people in our lives live the farthest. I do admire the fact that the values of these relationships have not diminished, yet the argument still remains that there is always a sense of hollowness that occupies when the right shoulder is not found at the right time.
Essence of reality need not always be shown out in profoundness but taking the essence itself out of the reality is something that needs a thought on. There is nothing more important than to take out that time out of our busy lives to acknowledge that fact that we value the people who mean a lot to us and letting them know that it does not matter when and where they die, you will always be there for them!!!
