The wise are instructed
by reason, average minds by experience,
the stupid by
necessity, and the brute by instinct.
Marcus
Tullius Cicero
“Everyone
needs someone” – starts from crib to grave and when ponder upon, it continues
to amaze and perplex mankind. For instance look at our universe, earth needs
the sun to revolve around to complete a day, a month and a year. Sometimes, survival
becomes traumatic when there is none to cling on and at the same time when we
gaze around, everything needs a bond and everyone owes something to each other.
A
child needs her mother to nurture, to help in taking her first steps, to grow
with her as her need grows, want someone to hold her hands for the first day
school. Wife needs her husband to love and to ascend with her when there are
tides in life. A hospitalized patient would long for the company of her loved
one, similarly wrinkles need a listening soul and a comforting hand for the
last steps; dark needs light, sorrow needs happiness, drought needs rains, and
everything goes vice-versa.
Every
step in life needs a ladder in any form. A teacher in school days, a mentor in
teen days, a guide in youth days, a listener in old days, reminds of the
step-ladder that lifted everyone in every single stages of life. Success, a
taste of blended efforts and people which needs a continuous someone to dangle
on. This also edifies survival with pride and honour that supplements the human
soul with loads of confidence.
Falling
in love never gets old for me. It is always fascinating to be in love and to be
loved. People say that love vanishes when necessities piles up, but when you
take a sneak peep, it is all about priorities. Love priorities amongst
necessities, but love always resides somewhere which just needs time and
togetherness to get refreshed at any point of time in life. As years pass by,
the intensity of love increases with intimacy and at the end of the day all it
matters is about being a right partner.
We
dwell in relations most of our life time and always look forward for a home,
where the heart stays. Being in a relation is required to fulfill each other’s
physiological and psychological needs, and to say good-bye to solitude. Necessity
knows no law and never made a good bargain. When we talk about necessity- it is
not about the poor who is in need of survival, it is dealing with the need, it
is about the want, the desire, the fancy, the hunger, the yearn which every
soul hankers for. Be it white or black, rich or poor, man or beast, everyone
needs someone. Everyone means the entire population which has you and me as
well, but who cares about the “entire everyone”. It is always dealing with our
near and dear, kith and kin, beloved neighbours and caring well-wishers.
It
is effortless to be everyone at all times, but being the “someone” needs lot of
whole heartedness with a tinge of love and affection. Finding someone among
everyone is indeed not a difficult task for a needy heart which tastes triumph
one day, because at all point of time in life - everyone needs someone.
A Someone,
