Train of Thoughts-4(FOREVER)

The train of thoughts-4(FOREVER)

Why do we even talk of ‘forever’ when someone eventually has to leave us?

I read this on someone’s status today and as usual the train of thoughts started. We all in our lives use the word forever as ‘forever love’, ‘forever alone’, ‘best friends forever’ etc. and while saying this we visualise an infinite time, a time which we can’t measure, maybe the time till our last breathe. We try to paint the perfect picture but one day the forever ends, and we are left with the bewilderment of thoughts, a huge burden of pain, a psychological trauma. We think that people leave, they go away, don’t want to be with us anymore.

Let’s explain this by an example, we all have cell-phones, rather smart phones, we all have used the cameras to click hundreds of pictures of ourselves and of the people around. Let’s just say that you are to click a picture of your friend there’s another friend of yours standing next to her sipping coffee, but she just wants her solo to be clicked, so what you do? You put your other friend out of the frame. The friend standing next is not the picture. Now for another picture you click your friend who was standing next and not the girl you clicked earlier.

What did happen? To get attention to a particular thing, you put the rest out of frame. But its frame, that what changes everything. Consider life a big album of pictures, these pictures are in the form of thoughts, in the form of things that you see, in the form of emotions, in the form of people you meet, you be with. When you love someone or like someone, the person is in your frame, when you find someone else your frame changes, you don’t forget the person but just crop him/her off the frame. It’s just one example, but there may be as many examples as there are perceptions to see the thing.

Sometimes I feel maybe, ‘Forever’ is not time, but an emotion to be felt in the numbered days. So, let’s just try to find a forever in whatever we have, there might be something worth missing after it goes away.
