In the life long journey of being human we need to share what we are learning to further each other's journey. Here I share my musings, learnings and convictions.

Limited Lives and Loves

I am never quite sure why people do not take the risk of telling others what is in their hearts. (I am not referring to telling people off in this blog but the emotions that we harbour).  Life is so short and unpredictable that it is surprising in some ways that we persist in making bargains with the moment to keep our feelings secret. I guess that it is because we do not wish to risk the status quo for an unpredictable response. We do not want to lose what we have for what we might gain. The problem, of course is that we stay in the less than satisfactory place that we are in rather than roll the dice for something better or at least clearer and more honest. We prefer a sort of limited peace and tranquility to an honest conflagration which could destroy more than we are willing to risk.

This leads us to very limited lives and loves.
