Whats new

My comments on my life have been bullshitted by a close friend, so I will shift to something acceptable but hopefully interesting. Alright, I do not care for anyone's interest, just want to write for myself. Even then lets discuss people, relationships to be specific.

I want to know what the beginning of a relationship really is. Whats the need? Is it social or biological? My understanding is every relationship is a kind of a barter system, its a give and take. People say parents always have selfless love towards their children. I say there's nothing selfless in any relationship. Every person in this world has this innate tendency to constantly be in association with things as well as fellow beings. Everyone wants myriad worldly connections wherein each of these is different in content and form. As a parent he wants to take care of his child, as a wealthy person of his money, as a company owner his company and so on. A very insensitive engineer's generalization will be "Every one works for the bond that attaches one to the obect of that bond".

So, where does sacrifice, considered to be one of the highest charateristics of manhood come into picture? I think it too is a manifestation of this tendency only. The sacrifice of life for a loved one means the object "loved one" is more important than the object "life". Thus, this yearning/love for objects is IMHO the answer to every question. Is this nothing but the philosophy of Gita? I think it is. But if the philosophy is so simple then why is life so complicated?

I think the conflict arises in interpreting this yearning. For some, not to yearn is the solution; some others want to yearn judiciously. But what should I do? Does anyone have an answer?
