Game of Ego and Sorry

Have you ever noticed any friend of yours,who is angry at you for something,sometimes not talking to you for days?

Then one fine day you walk upto him or her and say sorry.

And wao! suddenly all the anguish disappears.That seemingly very grave,complex matter dissolves within a fraction of seconds .

This phenomenon ,which is even more wierd than a paranormal activity has only two explanations.

1. Either the matter was insignificant.
2. Or suddenly love sprouted in any one of the 4 chambers of your friends heart . This sprouting took place immediately after hearing this magical word sorry. As soon as this word knocked the door of their ears, everything was alright.

Aren’t you now curious to know the goddamn magic done by this word ‘sorry’?

This magic is called ‘ego satisfaction’ and every single person who says this in a quest to save the friendship is THE MAGICIAN.

Wait!

I think ,I didn’t correctly introduce you to the magician.

The magician is every single person who says this in a quest to satisfy the ego.....of the ‘other person’.

Now don’t bring my attention to the fact that in the beginning whom I was referring  to as ‘an angry friend ‘ has now metamorphosed  to become ‘the other person’ .

It’s because your friend has lost the deservence to be referred to as a friend.

Like a coin has two sides,this whole thing has one more aspect too.

 Many a times,people unnecessarily apologise to avoid a possible quarrel, even though they know it wasn’t their fault. 

And then unknowningly the other person gets a habit of it . Eventually you accuse him of hurting you or disrespecting you or ,any other favourite accusation of yours.

But how can the smoke blame the lungs if they get diseased?

Had the smoke not entered the lungs ,they would have been healthy.

After attending dozens of such magic shows,I have arrived at the conclusion that we should never crave for the  people who knowingly use their relationships and friendships as a means to satisfy their ego thirst .

It is absolutely absurd and impossible that someone who loves and cares for you ,will utilise your bond as an ego satisfaction tool.

They are not your people,and it will bring you good fortune if you let go such people from your life. 

Maybe at the end you will be left with a very few people.......but those few will be true.
