The weirdest thought

Relationships have been bothering me for quite a long time. Not me exactly, but the people who matter to me.
There are relationships which have been covered with dust and suddenly, like the nostalgia felt when seeing your coloring book of kindergarten , has made us emotional and made us rethink.

There are relationships which have become a little volatile and all the energy and the disturbances which have been arisen , may be due to an internal or an external factor, has made us emotional and rethink.

And so when I was pondering on ways to waste my time efficiently , I just drew a co-relation.
Imagine relationships to be water. And our life to be 'climbing a hill' task; which actually is so, But relationships as water?
We climb up the hill and want to do it too. That is life. Increase our horizon.That's what is and should be task high up.
Water.
The natural tendency of anything is to have the minimum potential energy.
So water would naturally try to settle at the bottom of this hill.
But then we want to climb up.Who won't?
And we survive on water. A few days without it can make us die.
But then does that mean that we stay down the hill and just drink the water?
Absolutely not.
What comes to us as an answer is to carry a water bottle. And make it a point that we don't scurry up the hill and be careless enough to break this water-bottle. A balance has to be made to carry this water-filled bottle for the path up the hill is too rocky and harsh.

This bottle is our heart.

And so we won't then be like a reckless mountaineer who has climbed up the hill and has forgotten to bring water in his bottle , and standing at the top wishes that he could have had some water , but cannot.
Nor we would be like the mountaineer who is midway and has been careless to have broken his bottle.

Beacause, it is on relations ultimately that we survive.

My god!!!!
The limit to what you can think and the way you relate things i am totally flabbergasted. u'v got the power of imagination and hence hav co-related things so beautifully. Its all so full of meaning.
Relationships are the water of our soul. water can keep our body alive but if the water of the soul is not there ,we are no less than dead bodies.
Relationships are the fuel to go on in life.

thanks @ ashesha , pawandeep sir and dee.

In continuation.... if you just store the water(relations) and don't let it flow( not express it , have a communication gap ) or fear the dynamism and the energy that the water(relations) may possess, the water will wilt.One , then has no option but to throw it away.

One does not have to fear these currents in the water(relations) , rather be a rafter and enjoy them.
