Its about the time when we all come to a conclusive thought, no, its not an answer but a thought!
As human beings we tend to form several relations over time. We tend to lose some and gain some over the period of life. We see life pass by, we see it unfold hidden secrets, we see it giving a hard time and what not.
At the end, we all fade, we are meant to be washed off, we are mortals! So what exactly do we leave behind? Is it the values that we carried forward through our lives? Is it the prejudices that we lived by? Is it the feelings toward our beloveds? What is it exactly?
I firmly believe its only relations that matter, we leave relations we had formed during our lifetime.
Some of my fellow readers might argue why not values or prejudices; after all we lived our life based on them. Simply put, these values and prejudices will hold no ground if it was not for a relation with your peers, colleagues, beloveds or just a being. We follow values that were passed on by our elders, some of these values were formed with due course of life, some of these values were adopted seeing certain people around OR just observing various situations. Reasons might be numerous but one common factor is relation – we had someone whom we relate to; which made us adapt these values; had it been our elder, society or just a group of people who were involved – directly or indirectly, in our real life situations.
Consider this, one is left out alone, he/she is secluded; will he/she have any sort of point of reference? No, there is no point of reference for him/her and thus, there is no way that the person can form opinions, values, prejudices, feelings etc.
Thus, at the end we leave just a mixed bag of relations. These relations will continue years after we are gone. Now these relations can be attached with various adjectives, feelings, values, prejudices etc. The whole point of living life, thus, comes down to one simple rule (atleast for me), how you carry your relations in life. How you value your relations, how you live them, how you treat them… how you choose to leave your imprints behind!
