Mind Matters

When perceptions count for little, never mind what matters! Nonetheless, it’s on my mind and it matters , if only for the present. The subject that’s taken refuge is the art of relationships and it’s artless corollary of understanding the modus operandi. Does it have to take perfectly like-minded people with similar traits to hit it off or can complementary qualities be the deciding factor in striking a bond? Haven’t you often wondered how two diametrically opposite personalities could possibly be what it takes to get along without so much as a petty squabble ?Are we then, undermining the quintessence of a compatible pair and delving into the realm of a complex emotional psychological state where logic and reason are dispensed with?

The mind is ironically attracted by a distinct sense of sameness and disparity. Sameness ,in the sense that we often want people to be on the same page and disparity in the way of a complementary quality that completes us. What then, is the overriding factor that tips the scales? Or are we just deluded into a sense of an ephemeral hypocritical well-being? Is stability then a far-fetched euphoric state?

The complexity of the issue calls for a sense of acceptance and understanding and tacitly bears witness to a course of events unfolding almost seamlessly. It’s an inexplicable bond that can at best, be only shared, if not experienced. A number of factors and a concatenation of circumstances are at work and no sole attribute can be the yardstick to determine the underlying feature .The laws of attraction and it’s nuances bring people together, who remain true to blue, come hell or high water ,their disparate ways notwithstanding. It’ s a connection on a level that knows no boundaries ,a code of ethics that speaks a language like no other, hurdles surpassed at the drop of a hat!

Exploring how this relationship works is indubitably one of those unfathomable aspects of life. It’s ascribed to a large number of attributes and a conspiracy of time, space and the Gods. I’ve got to let the matter rest and divert my mind to matters that really matter! I do this as a thought lingers on: How people as different as chalk and cheese , can chalk out a life together, look into the camera and say Cheese!
