I suppose in the scientific sense it 's a bit out there that even if you attempt to avoid
meeting that you are "contracted" to have with someone , it will eventually take place.
However there is an ingrained belief in destiny! This is an old story from the east called "Appointment in Samarra" A master sends his slave to Samarra for an errand. While in the village the slave encounters the figure of Death and is so frightened by it that he runs to the next village, Samarra to hide. On hearing that his slave disappeared , the master goes to town and confronts Death. "Why did you scare my servant?" he demands!
"Actually", Death replies "I was not trying to scare him. I was only surprised to see him here , because I'm scheduled to meet with him tonight in Samarra!!! From a symbolic point of view no one is in your life by accident. Some people weigh dramatically more in it than others. Intimate relationships in your life - family, friends, partners and even our adversaries are all part of an agreement to learn certain lessons on earth.
When our buttons are pushed by family, friends and petty tyrants what are the lessons in it for ourselves,- what is it that we most dislike about ourselves and what can they teach you about yourself that you cannot learn from anywhere esle.
So true Nicky.
ReplyDeleteHow true is this story, I remember 1st seeing you at pre-school, you had such a friendly peaceful face and I wanted to meet you. I was shocked when I started at a new playgroup and you walked through the gate,best of all you came one day that I most needed a hug,you bearly knew me but you hugged me that day anyway. This is my favourite story to tell about our friendship, I know you have heard it many times, but It was the moment I knew I had meet a great soul in friend in my journey. XX
ReplyDeletePS, good to see you writing again :)
ReplyDeleteWell I think we all take something away from every interaction we have, it's just that sometimes what we might get out of something is how "not to be" or an in your face "why we should or should't". xo
