Relationships- A Matter of Convenience or a Matter of Commitment??

People come.. People go.. He comes.. He goes.. She comes.. She goes.. I wonder if anything or anybody is for keeps... It is not typical of anybody to dissect the relationship with friends, what they mean, why they crossed our lives, why some are no longer as strong as they used to be and why some still pass the rigorous test of time... It is not typical of me to do it either and probably thats why writing this article was kinda eccentric..

The inspiration for this article comes from "How I met your mother"... TOW they celebrate 'Slaps'giving... Ted points out to Robin the fact that they are just pretending to be (and are not actually) great friends because it would be inconvenient not to...  Rings a bell??... Honestly, how many of us have been friends with someone just because it is convenient in being so... As in, being friends with someone who regularly commutes with you... Being friends with someone sitting next to you in a random class... It could be possible to map many such relationships' root cause of existence to some source of selfish convenience... Modern day relationships are complex, have a fuzzy nature and often come with 'conditions apply'... Convenience can camouflage well within the friendship transfigurine...  Such a friendship will blossom, will grow, may evolve into one with commitment and may even last a lifetime... But also in many cases, the friendship lingers on only until there is enough common ground between the two involved parties...  Then it slowly dilutes into a hi- bye kinda relationship, the conversations get heavy, the relationship which once had so much to share has nothing much in common and nothing more to say...
