Commitment
A long lost commitment that I made to a long lost friend… this blog is all about commitment… I was talking about commitment to a friend. He was very much afraid or rather didn’t want to commit because if he would fail in keeping the words he would hurt the other and thus spoil the relationship and our discussion went on with it… he came up with an idea that I would write a blog on a topic of his choice and he would do the same with the topic of my choice.
I was planning about how should I put my views on this particular topic…. I planned that I would write my views first and then my friends view on this topic…. I wrote the blog in a word file and saved it But my computer crashed and I had to re-write it this way as the way I’m going to now…
Commitment… According to me is a determination to do something, it is not forever, it Ends when the determination to do that particular thing dies or either the objective is attained. When I had a few conversations with my friends about this, they based their views on one thing MARRIAGE!!! Anyways I don’t wanna discuss that why did they talk about marriage when I wanted to know what they feel commitment is.
We make many commitments in life, knowingly, unknowingly and some which are imposed by the other or yes you can say forced… If you can understand those lines above in that picture (yeah I know that picture doesn’t look good but that’s the best I interpret my thought ;-D), that’s exactly what I think this word Commitment or what part, does it play in ones Life… There are So many commitments that we do in life!!!! Marriage, Studies, Work, God…. These horizontal lines are the different commitments that we make in the different aspects of our lives. The red line is the way how atleast i want to fulfill different commitments, commitments made to my family, work, studies and other things... Either we be determined about them till we attain it or loose interest and it ends the matter. My brother said that priorities change in life, at one point of time it is studies then something else and after that some other thing… I do Differ a little on that one, yes priorities change but when you are working its one aspect of your life at the same time you are married and you pray too.
Being Afraid of commitments… My friend was afraid to commit to something just because he was afraid what if he wouldn’t be able to do what he said… But sometimes it is necessary to commit because if you don’t this would also hurt the other and if you are determined and you care enough you would fulfill the commitment that you made. Yes I do agree sometimes it is difficult to keep the words (for which you can always explain the Reasons) but because of that you stop or just deny from making commitments is just so wrong!!!
