Whats you pick?

Yeah i do seem to be writing a lot about these since past few days ain't i? But then this is what life is all about isn't it? Its like we are given a clutch of colors, we pick out the ones we like and paint a picture for ourselves. Sometimes the colors look nice but when we paint with them the picture doesn't quite agree with our imagination. Sometimes we are aware that we might be given new colors but at times we are so disappointed with the picture we have colored that we fail to see the new colors appearing.. Sometimes we colors our picture so deeply that the new colors appear fade on the picture and we are stuck with the existing ones. Seldom do we realize that we can we can paint a new picture and not use the colors we liked previously and don't like any more!! or rather they don't suit the picture now!

Feels like i'm losing the touch with my analogies? or does it? ;) Anyhow this particular post was prompted after a particular discussion i had with a friend while advising on the issue of marriage (!) It made me think about the choices i'd made and the ones that people made about me as well.. I advised him the way someone had once advised me, and then it made me think more, everyone has bad points. A person maybe be a liar, who lies all the time, someone maybe be a murderer, the most untrustworthy person on earth, abusive, drunkard, short tempered, possessive, thief and any attribute you may consider as unwanted, unpleasing etc. but the same person also has something worth rooting for. So what matters in the end is what we are ok with! We first need to ask ourselves do we know that person well enough, do we know what he really is that what we see? And then what are we ok with? Are those bad qualities worth enough to let go of that person? Are we going to concentrate on the bad points and completely ignore what good the person possesses?
This is in case of a person who might be repetitively indulging in things that we feel are not acceptable to us.

In another case a person might make a mistake and act in a way that displeases us (now how many times does that happen these days?) Then, it might happen that we get so used to the person's goodness that the show of one bad point, that too out of mistake and not out of bad will, might make us lose trust, and that is where the question of choice comes in. So, are we willing to make allowance for that one thing the person has done wrong, (i'm assuming we know the person as far as it is possible to know and also the motive behind that act), will we consider the larger goodness in him or will we condemn for having committed a crime? It depends on what it is that matters to us? giving way for more bitterness or forgiveness? Another question we need to have answered, do we really know and understand the person. Equally important is the motive behind whatever her does. But the most important thing is- do we understand ourselves, to make the choices that we do? Do we think about the implications of our actions and how they affect the person we love, are those actions acceptable and if not do we take the trouble to change ourselves?

Whats your pick then? :)
