my funda is this:
Every thing maybe evanesent n ephemeral,but the best thing abt life is tht it goes on.I feel, u r whole approach to this issue is tinted with some negative feelings,have a balanced approach.Mebbe nobody will share luv,thots n feelings with u r for eternity,but as u said,nothing lasts forever.Enjoy things while they last.The company,the times.It'll all be worth it.N u don't "expect" tht someone to share it with u,it comes naturally when u love someone.It's not a duty to which u feel chained to after sometime.
Tht,my dear friend,is entirely u r call.If u wish to,u will.The driving factor been,after some time in life,everyone feels the need of a stable life.Something to fall back,somebody to earn for,somebody to go back home to.
After marriage,between 2 ppl,luv n affection does count....but wat counts more is the compatibility n maturity in handling the relation.
From wat I make out,u r someone who needs a lotta space in relations,u dont like been tied down.So find someone who respects jus tat.
The biggest mistake anyone can make is generalising things in life.
U stick to a job,coz of some obligation.But trust me,in a marriage,if it goes beyond the ctrl of either parties,it's time to call it a day.Nobody "puts up" anylonger.
And pardon my asking u this,but as u said,u fall in love n then after a point move on.Is tht how impersonally u handle everything in life?Fallin in love isn't abt havin u r share n movin on,but wantin to give as much as possible n staying around for tht person.
Feel free to clear the air abt ur conception of love.
Imagine u r parents thinkin on the same lines abt u when u were a kid.To dump u in a hostel,n check u out once in a while,so tht u r 'value' in their lives remains the same.
They slog it out,n at the end of the day,when it's payback time,u shld b there,holdin their hands.Even after growin up,if u dont realise their value in u r life,wat chance u will when u visit them in the destiny's decided time interval.Here u r lookin at them as if they were some kinda obligation on u.
It's sad tht ppl realise the worth of something,after it's gone.I repeat again,enjoy things while they last.After which u jus can't help it!
And don't go by the notion tht everybody demands attention all the time n givin tht is a herculaen task.Nobody cares,frankly.But nothing gets ignored.Every smile u give to someone,shall come back one day.
And stop looking at things as an inv. banker.There isn't a ROI attached to everything in life.Somethings u jus do,coz they need to b done.And coz somebody rightfully deserves it.
