How much do we care?

" There's one sad truth in life I've found
While journeying east and west -
The only folks we really wound
Are those we love the best.
We flatter those we scarcely know,
We please the fleeting guest,
And deal full many a thoughtless blow
To those who love us best." - Ella Wheeler Wilcox

Which are the most important relationships in our lives?...In my view,it must be the relationship that we share with our mom,dad,sis or bro...not withstanding our friends,life-partner and children!Have we ever imagined a life devoid of these relations?...Unimaginable,right?...
But how much of love and care are we able to show to these prima vitae people in our lives?Most of our time repository is so divided between the trivial incidents and sojourners in our lives that often we strive for a moment of expression...!Again at times, so engrossed are we in our work and other social commitments,that words do not suffice in venting out the latent emotions leave alone actions.Thus,finally all the love and care lay securely buried at the abyss of our heart...struggling for expression!
But,can their importance ever die?.....
Never!!!.... because....
"You can kiss your family and friends good-bye and put miles between you, but at the same time you carry them with you in your heart, your mind, your stomach, because you do not just live in a world but a world lives in you." - Frederick Buechner

hmmm, don't know what made you strike this cord, but this unheeded theme, indeed, deserves a serious thought.
our absolute endeavor towards the hallucinating pleasure lands us nowhere; and looking back, if not too late, reveals all the compromises with 'prima vitae' people of our lives! But no worries... one as 'repository manager' can fix all such issues with time-repository, after all its better late than never! kyu?? :) :) cheers!!!

Wel,ritely said.in d long run of makin a position n stand independently in dis competitive world,we often forget 2 care 4 ppl bcoz of whom we exist...4 whom wat we r 2day.we often tak them 4 grantd.and blv me its so vry common phenomenon 2 tak ppl grantd who lov us more than nybody else in dis materialistic world.bt i thnk 2 som xtent it varies 4m 1 to 1.wat we gv more priority n 2 whom...wether d imp relations in our life or jaz fake relations,relations dat r made 4 d sake of it...its better dat we analyze n realise these facts as early in lif as possible.
