CONDITIONS APPLY
We all are so used to these words
‘terms and conditions apply’ that nowadays we really just ignore the important
part of reading it and just accepting that obviously there will be some terms
and conditions. But here I am talking about the conditions we have started
putting on relationships. Just like we have accepted the fact that there will
be conditions on anything we buy from market, we also have started accepting
that any kind of conditions also apply on relationships.
And forget uncle, aunts and
cousins but even parent child relationship also comes with ‘terms and
conditions apply’; be it child’s studies, job, marriage or parents’ health and so on. Though obviously not each and everybody falls in this ‘The Conditions
Apply Category’ but yes, most of us do. It seems like we have become so used to
‘It’s a give and take policy’ that now we hardly care about the strings
attached with people around us; all we care about the work done, the thing
bought.
Just give it a thought, we all
have seen parents pushing their child to study hard, join a particular course,
get a particular job, marry a particular girl, have these number of kids and
what not, all this because they want to raise the kid in the way everybody
around them is raising their kids or ‘that’s what’s best for them’. And it’s
not just parents, but children also take care of parents in old age for money,
property and even so that they are able to baby sit their grandchildren.
Can we not just give it a break
and do all of these things because we genuinely care for our people; because we
love them unconditionally. We seriously have to take out some part of our lives
where ‘No Conditions Apply’, else we could even end up buying relationships in
future.
