Relationships

If a bitter gourd does past life regression, it would see itself taking the form of human relationships. And in this lifetime, it has completely accepted and embodied its true nature, and it's on the verge of enlightenment, very capable of writing its own jataka tales, documenting every single human relationship that ever existed on this planet. 

Are relationships always meant to be filled with conflicts and unexpected twists and turns like a tv serial? 

Life experiences sharpen our vision to see straight through any conflict, acknowledge the truth hidden within the conflict. Which is nothing but the other person feeling equally petrified of life. But they let their fears and insecurities do a ramp walk in fancy clothes. 

But to witness this requires laser sharp vision and a heart full of love for someone who also stumbles just like you but in a slightly different way.. 

Why do relationships always bring unexpected twists and turns? Why can't we seek stability in a relationship? 

When we see through all the shaky layers, have patience and persistence, to be carried through the rollercoaster ride, as we eliminate everything that doesn't resemble stability, whatever is finally left turns out to be what we have always needed. 

Two hands and one heart wouldn't have been enough to do all this at once. That's where partnership steps in offering a helping hand. 

Sometimes, two people can also choose to hold hands and let the light within their hearts shine brighter together on the path forward..
