Family ties...

Had a long travel today.. All by my own for a change.. 

Had an experience to think of.. That triggered my thinking cell and once again the thought of scattered relationships comes to my mind..

I feel we have so many relations around that we either forget our priorities or we conveniently don't bother as we have so many other options around.

It's weird but true.. I have seen many people know what they really want in life and what each person means to them.. I'm still talking about people.. This reminds me of an incident which involves no person but a dog who has stayed 2 years with them.. I know a person who with a group of best buddies is watching a movie and comes out in between just because he gets a call from his family saying his dog is unable to walk properly.. Even without a second thought he drove back home only to sit beside his dog.. Feeling the pain the dog must be going thru and feeling as restless as the dog.. Observing every moment and expression only yo gauge what he must be going thru at that moment..

Today's instance.. A family member was very upset as her dear one was hospitalized, unable to meet her due to the distance could only sit at home n speak to other family members over the phone and wonder what is really happening with her dear one.. All she could expect is some condolence and some support.. Her agony was considered less important in comparison to a dinner with a bunch of friends which whom an entire day was already spent.. Makes me think and gets me irritated. 

Lucky are the ones who have so many options around but how unlucky that they make a mistake while setting their priorities.. I am glad in have a small world with a small bunch of people and my own priorities, which come-what-may will not change. The level of concern at different situations may differ but the precedence will be the same.. Atleast i am hoping so because I do not want to step on floating stones, those which will make me fall if I don't balance properly.. I rather walk on a mushy land atleast it will think twice before leaving me as I take my every step..
