Make Or Break

It takes so much time to make something and just minutes to break it. All that goes into it becomes naught!

That's a sad truth of life. Be it relationships, buildings or a business. Relationships were more on my mind when I thought about writing this post but now that I think more along these lines....it applies to everything in life.

It took minutes to bring the twin towers down. An accident could totally smash to pieces a brand new car. A business gone under becomes impossible to revive. Relationships once broken can never be the same again.

So much effort goes into a relationship. Time, energy, love, affection, and sometimes it all ends with nothing left to show for it. Just a bunch of memories. This is true for every kind of relationship...friends or lovers and sometimes even family. A word, deed, greed or worst, lack of feeling, unravels even the strongest bond.

I wonder why we are so helpless to prevent things like this from happening in a relationship. Is it our fault? For being blind and not seeing what's before our eyes or does it change suddenly.

You can know someone for years and suddenly realize that you don't know the person at all. You don't even like the kind of person he or she has become. You watched it all happen and still didn't see. At that point of enlightenment the thread snaps and that's the end. Gone forever.

Can we do something? Probably not. I'm a fatalist and believe it's all in God's hand. Everything happens for a reason. A lot of you will disagree but that's my personal point of view. So I do my best to make and if God decides to break.......I just go with the flow.
