“എന്നും നിങ്ങളെന്റെ കൂടെയുണ്ടാവണം. എന്റെ കണ്ണടയുവോളും എനിക്കു നിങ്ങളെ കണ്ടുകൊണ്ടിരിക്കണം.”
ഇതൊന്നും ഞാന് പറഞ്ഞതല്ല. എവിടൊക്കെയോ കേട്ടു മറന്ന ചിലതു.
ഞാനതിനെ ഒന്നൂടൊന്നു മനസ്സിരുത്തി വായിച്ചപ്പോള് മറഞ്ഞിരുന്ന സ്വാര്ഥതയാണു കണ്ണില്പ്പെട്ടതു.
അതല്ലേ സത്യം?
എനിക്കു ജീവിക്കാന് നിങ്ങളെ വേണം എന്ന അന്തര്ലീനമായ സത്യം. സ്വാര്ഥത നിറഞ്ഞ സത്യം.
——–
“Oh God, please don’t take him away from me as long as I am alive”
Such a lovely prayer, no..? What do you think..?
Here, someone is emphasizing that he/she can’t live without his/her soul-mate.
Can you see love there?
“No worries once your life is over, but what about your soul-mate? Can he/she live without you? Who will take care of him/her? Your life was safe as he/she was with you until your last breath. Now what will happen to him/her in your absence? You are least bothered on that as you are already dead. Isn’t it..? That’s why you are praying like “Oh God, please don’t take him away from me as long as I am alive”
Unfortunately my eyes could not trace the least bits of love over there. Is it not all about selfishness?
Instead I found this much thoughtful “I will never get over the grief of losing you as you are my life breath. But moreover I love you and can never make you alone. So my Lord, please keep me alive atleast till his last breath so that my honey will never be alone”

Beautiful Akhila, very thought provoking and touching. I would like to be the last person of those I love left on earth but I know this would be impossible as I will always go on loving. I hold on to the belief that we will meet again, those that go before me will watch over and continue to love me, just as I will continue to love those I leave behind. Your posts are always so wonderful and leave me thinking for hours 😊

True. it applies to the wives of pampered husbands like me.ln other words I’m his live wire,and he often says that he would be walking dead if not for me.But on the other hand I feel its kinda selfish to have a wish of that sort coz I believe that life has to go on as planned by the Almighty.And being steadfast mercy would be bestowed upon all his creations on desperate situation.
We as humans may feel insecure with over effection & attachments but life has to take its turn…as pre planned 😊

I don’t know if love is there because love can’t be selfish and love don’t decide fate for us, whether we’ll leave together or me before you. It’s just like love is in letting go that person and keeping that strength to go beyond the last chapter of your life. I may sound Gibberish so, excuse 😀

Love is essentially a selfish emotion. One loves because one wants something from… whatever or whomever. Love is about reciprocity: I give you, now you give me. Love says, “Why don’t you love me as much as I love you?” Love asks, “You say you love me, yet you do things you know are hurtful to me.” Love is a force of attraction for personal gain and mutual self-satisfaction.
There is a much better approach to all of life, and that’s to be a compassionate being. Then the above prayers become meaningless, unnecessary. The compassionate being is there for the other and puts the self last. Also, the compassionate being has no soul mate, s/he has no need of one for compassion makes one complete in oneself through self-empowerment.
