Then, without any wrongdoing on your part or at an inconvenient time,
this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end.
Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away.
Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand.
What we must realize is that our need has been met,
our desire fulfilled, their work is done.

Very well put. Ok, i get what you were saying now...i think.
ReplyDeletethis is cool BUT very "i" centered. perhaps sometimes you encounter a person to be there for THEM. it may seem like its for you, but perhaps its really the reverse.
ReplyDeletedid you get this from somewhere or is it original?
ReplyDeleteeither way, it's great
Everyone: IT IS NOT ORIGINAL. It was a forwarded email, and though I despise forwards, it really spoke to me, and I kept it.
ReplyDeleteCheerio- I agree with you. So just switch it around. The same applies for you being there for other people.
When something like this happen, it’s a great consolation to think that you played a role in the person’s life and vice versa, and now it is time for you two to move apart.
ReplyDeleteBut then, don’t you feel like you used the person? And don’t you feel used yourself? (I don’t actually mind being used, but it does bother me to feel like I have used someone to move forward and then abandoned the person… even though it wasn’t seemingly my fault.)
I wouldn't feel used. I would feel like I fulfilled a purpose, that I helped someone when they needed me most. Ir's a good feeling to be needed.
ReplyDeleteAnd I can only imagine that someone who helps me would feel the same way.
And on a lesser scale, how about if you needed directions, or if you were in an accident and someone helped you? Would you feel like you used them? Okay ya it's their job to assist you.
I guess I don't have a good example. But I think it's okay to take help from someone, and in some cases, benefit from a relationship, even for a short time, and not feel like you are using the person. Just think how much they are benefiting from you too. And maybe YOU are helping THEM by giving them the feeling of being needed.
Think about it that way.
