One for good and one for bad

Dear reader,

Today two great people left me. One for good and one for bad. The one left for my good will come back to me with more love and friendship. And I am ready to greet her and hug her. She taught me so many things in life like independence and friendship. She is my dear sister. And everybody knows her.

Coincidentally another great person left for my bad. I will never reveal his identity as he doesn't like it. This is the person whom I used to revere a lot and take pride in. But slowly stupidity crept in and I craved for his friendship. Worse, I wanted to talk to him and be with the person. And when I found that these things are just dreams, I turned bad. I sent harsh mails and letters. Instead of finding a position in the person's heart, I broke his heart. The person never understood me and finally decided to leave me.

In the end, I had tears only for the one who left me with her warm wishes, the one who cared for me and supported me all the time. All I wanted are these warm wishes and if the other person could have understood it, the person would have never left me. But as great people said, we should help others and never expect anything from them. I utterly failed in following this rule. I always like to help others but sometimes I expect something, like I expected friendship from the second person. This is a great mistake and I shall not do this again.

I learned a great lesson today. I shall not be sad or happy as once Vivekananda said, these two are chains, one made of iron and another made of gold.

Thank you,
