RELATIONSHIP is pretty abstract yet tangible in our "journey". I treat it as a "bus journey " where myself as the bus driver. And the "journey" which is tantamount to our life is a cycle from a depot to another and come back, and go forth again for a whole day. So lets enjoy and start this interesting JOURNEY ...
Commuters aboard my bus: people that come into our life. Many people
will put the minimum amount of fare like 60 cents wherever they go:
these people are those friends who are always desiring to make
use of people, to squeeze every drop of "usefullness" out of us.
Some will just walk pass u without a single nod and alight in the very
near stop: people who are like strangers to us ; we see and we forget.
Some will sit at one corner and travel for very long distance: people
who we always see but didn't get a chance to know them. Some of them
will travel with us for very long distance but eventually will also alight
upon their destination: they are normally our very good friends who we
know for many years and will finally lose them if we don't make an attempt
to bridge the gap. Some will travel for a distance then alight
and board again in our return trip: they are tantamount to
friends who come into our life and leave (due to reasons like quarrels,
other commitments...) and they come into our life again.
In some time , we may be attracted to some of the passengers but they
will alight the bus sooner or later: we may be attached to someone
but normally these relationship won't last long. Furthermore,
it'll be an disillusionment after the facade in them are revealed.
Sometimes our vehicle may break down and different passengers will
act differently. Some of the passengers will use "eye-power" when
our vehicle breaks down: these people are prevalent in our
society where they will only talk but no actions; if trouble
comes in our life, they will certainly "run off".
Some will even go to the extend to blame or curse us despite our bad
situation and effort to deliver them to their destination: these
people are those people who are so insensitive and selfish despite
the efforts we had helped them in the past.
Luckily there will be minority passengers that will come to our aid:
they are those true-friends, parents, mentors, brother and friend,
who will come to help us when we're in trouble and always stand
by us.
At certain time, we may be more courteous to some commuters but they
just "bo chup"; these are the people who sometimes take us for granted
despite we're nice to them. During the last few trips we may be tired
and look a bit unfriendly to some: the victims are those who we take
them for granted despite their sincerity. A few will really
travel with us till the finishing: so only a few true friends will
really accompany us throughout our life. And can u ensure who
are they???
