Reflections On Relationships

Met up with some of the falcons last night, just the five of us over a pizza dinner and then drinks at Loof.

We talked about FYPs, relationships - old and new ones, careers, starting businesses together in future. Half the time was spent on sharing experiences on how best to sustain a relationship and the obligations involved in one.

And of course, those conversations were peppered with random reminiscence over the good old days of training and scouting.

Was reading online and came upon this quote which made me sit up and ponder. I guess unconditional love in humans is technically impossible, until the day comes when you can rid yourself of selfishness, every bit of it. But ultimately its an ideal to work towards. Some say ideals are just dreams, but dreams bring hope, and hope keeps us alive.

"It is explained that all relationships require a little give and take. This is untrue. Any partnership demands that we give and give and give and at the last, as we flop into our graves exhausted, we are told that we didn't give enough." - Quentin Crisp
