Relationship and complexities

I was going through one of the beauty magazines which had a separate section for relationship issues. I always ignore these sections in the first go, yet read some of the issues with great interest. Some of the people really talk interesting stuff. Here are few which grabbed my attention:

1. Girl’s problem, "And with online/long distance, I was getting what I was not desperate for and not getting what I was desperate for"

This issue actually made me look for the real meaning of desperate. What dictionary.com failed to explain was that what can be the level of desperation in human beings or there is no boundary at all. Is it grabbing everything/everyone that one gets and use everything as opportunity?

2. Man chats with his woman co-worker on camera after work sometimes also late nights. This man had a problem that his wife does not trust him although he maintains a very honest relationship with her and the wife is told about even if little bit hugging and kissing happens online.

So I started to wonder if this is honesty then what does it actually mean. Does it not mean to avoid such situations from happening in the first place, if it happens does it not mean discouraging the same? And do chat emoticons mean anything at all.

These are all tricky questions to answer and probably when people can’t understand the simplest things they look for a third person’s advice. This also keeps these otherwise useless magazines in business.

In my opinion relationships were, are and will always remain complex. As I was discussing with a friend that we don’t love what we have and we love what we can’t get. So the vicious circle of complexity is never ending in human nature.

Everything has its use.. even beauty magazines!

I think life is about balancing desparation with practicality.

We always should remain a bit desparate and a bit practical. Being a bit desparate keeps life interesting. Being bit practical keeps it stable.

When you end up being fully desparate you end up doing things which you regret later like saying/doing big things before thinking them through.

When you end up being fully practical then that relationship is more like a business deal.

That is my point of view.
