This is something about me which i really did not want to put up here…. but well what the heck.. this is my space(or so i think). This is nothing other than Just for your information material. So kindly ignore it if u feel like. This contains my view on love and friendship.
This is the part of the e-mail that I recieved from one of my friends a few days ago:
Hey laks,
I have been seeing your Blogs abt Love ..
What has happened to u? Have u gone crazy?
You should love only two things ur passion/Innovation and India.
I can smell whats going on ..
Focus on ur job, write on what u have observed, ur experiences etc so that we can gain from it.
Remember u have a following, who want to know abt ur experiences.
Hope u take it in right spirit
Well i took it in the right spirit allright… and went for a small analysis of what exactly i was searching for.
Needless to say that my friend was right about me.
There is a BAD news and a GOOD news to be announced today.
I am in love, that is the bad news for all of you. The good news is this: Its with a charector in a book.
Her name is Dagny Taggart, she comes from the book Atlas Shrugged, by Ayn Rand. ( WARNING If u read the contents of the link the plot of the story gets spoiled… if u are interested in reading the book get it from amazon and read.. they are one of the best books written)
My state and my philosophy can be contained in three quotes from the book The Fountainhead also from the same Author. It goes something like this
Every loneliness is a pinnacle.
The only thing that matters, my goal, my reward, my beginning,
my end is the work itself. My work, done my way.
Nothing can be reasonable or beautiful unless it’s made by
one central idea, and the idea sets every detail. A building is alive,
like a man. Its integrity is to follow its own truth, its one single
theme, and to serve its own single purpose…
My philosophy is simple. My passion is the passion to produce. The passion to create. It is this happiness through creativity that gives me joy, because i love to create what i want to create. The basis for the philosophy is that ratiocination is the only way a man can live and that his nature is to seek happiness from what he creates.
The question that i ask myself is not “To be or not to be?” it is “To think or not to think?”.
The people whom I love are the people who have the integrity and depth of understanding my cause. These are the only people whom I can relate with. They are my only friends.
To me love and friendship kinda mean the same thing. I think friends are united in the values that they hold. They may be doing lot of things, and they may be a hell lot different from each other, but what gels them together? The answer, i suppose, is only one simple thing :Values.
A person of strong charector won’t copromise on the ethical values that he holds. He will do justice to them. Come what may.
An emotionally mature individual gets emotional for only the right reasons. He gets sad when he has a reason to get sad. Gets happy when he has a reason to get happy. Cries when he has a reason to cry. Sadness, happiness, anger and any other emotion is a not a sign of weakness.. its a sign of a mentally healthy individual. An individual of perfect mental health would get the right kind of emotions for the right kind of situations. Wanting a shoulder to cry on(or someone to love) is therefore a personal choice, it does not make u weak or strong by any comparison.
A friend is a person who understands ur cause, and ur means to achieve the cause. One who understands and appreciates the fire in you, one who appreciates that you are fighting for the cause with the same weapon as she/he is… i.e. Rationality. She/he is the one who can relate to your values completely, she/he can understand what you say and more importantly what u can’t say.
Such a friendship will last for a lifetime. Coz what she/he likes is something that will never die out in you. It will be there till u end. And till that time she/he will be your friend. Same is the case with love i guess. If u love another person’s reason and cause. And also love the way she goes about it. love the fire in her. then that love will last a lifetime.. the last thing that it will depend upon is looks, which are temporary. When u ask for a shoulder to be lent in order to rest on and cry, ur real friends will willingly do so.. coz they know what you are fighting for… coz they know what struggle is…. coz they know what integrity means… and more than anything they know that u are crying, because there is some reason for u to cry.
The strongest friendships are forged between those men/women whose integrity knows no bounds. The men/women of steel.. like Dagny and Roark. They may chose to cry on another friends shoulder, but it does nothing to their integrity. They are strong and if they cry for the right reasons.. i would say that they are emotionally strong as well.
This is the summary of my justified true beliefs on friendship and love.
now we come to my predicament.
The Problem in me
Now here is my problem… I am feeling lonely because i have not found even a SINGLE woman who is worth enough to be recognized as a friend yet. I am at a pinnacle of my philosophical beliefs, there is no companion to look to, and talk eye to eye. There is not a single woman whom I have met who understands what i live for, and who i can relate to completely… Its soo lonely up here… I NEED SOME COMPANY.

Until I find her I am happy being alone!!!!!!!
But its ok even if dont get her in my whole life….
life goes on
) i can always be happy by following my passion
