Time to Draw the Line

There are some moments in our life when we feel compelled to ultimately draw the line
Our emotions gets charged up and even a passing observer can sense that things are not fine
It is not reflective of an impulsive change of mood that one gets over after a one time whine
It is suggestive of some symptoms that have been conveniently ignored over a period of time

It can occur in one’s professional relationships where people dissect each other thread bare
It can occur in one’s personal relationships that one is deeply attached and tends with care
It can even occur in a social setting when you find one intentionally intruding into your lair
It does not differentiate across barriers of age, race, gender or religion daring you to care

One may think that one has an appropriate working relationship with colleagues and boss
One may not realize that unconsciously you have been doing work that has gathered moss
One may realize that you have been taken for granted and you begin to desire to cut your loss
One may get disengaged with one’s work without even evaluating the effects of the root cause

One may feel that one is spending time with family be it children, parents, siblings or relative
One may consciously make time to attend all functions just to please and be socially active
One may stretch and do all that is required for one’s near ones beyond one’s comfort zone
One may get the true measure of man when in times of need you discover hearts of stone

One’s experiences may urge one to strongly spend time with children to develop a bond
One may realize that many a time it is a one-sided relationship that meets its end in the pond
One’s observations may urge one to spend time with elders to help revive their memory
One may realize that many a time they prefer to avoid changes and prefer life without hurry

One needs to truly identify your own motives when you aim to do something for others
One needs to be honest with self whether one is satisfying one’s desire and calling it a bother
One needs to be candid whether you lack the courage to walk away from the relationship
One needs to prioritize one’s daily life and avoid constantly moaning about the sinking ship

There are times in life when one needs to be decisive in taking action to further your cause
There are times in life when one needs to bear the brunt of going against societal norms
There are times in life when one needs to fight one’s own battles when no one seems to care
There are times in life when one needs to learn to be smart and fight back for your survival

It does not mean that being assertive in handling situations demonstrates your intolerance
It does not mean that consciously satisfying your needs demonstrates other’s irrelevance
It does not mean that when your choices are different you need to crave for acceptance
It only means that you need to communicate your true identity without fearing the consequence!
