Weaknesses

"We never get comfortable with people who don't have any visible flaws", The book I've been reading declared.

Funny observation. We always think the reason we hangout with certain people are their "qualities", but what makes us associate ourselves with them are really their flaws. We may not realize this, but this is what happens at subconcious level. The moment we meet someone, we keep them under the radar, scanning for their qualities and weaknesses. We don't really make a connection unless we find atleast a weakness in them.

That explains the concept of love easily. No matter what we say the reason we love someone is their attractiveness, sense of humor, caring, blah blah blah, cliché cliché cliché, deep-down, the real reason why we really love someone is not their qualities, but their weaknesses. The little imperfections in our personality are what makes us endearing to someone over the time. They keep us stay in love, and these are the things we miss about someone when we say we miss them.

Weaknesses are what makes us, should I say "Human" ?

    These are some of the quotes from the MAD magazine.

    "A business executive is someone who talks golf in the office and business on the golf course..."

    "If we really learned from our past mistakes, most of us would never get out of bed in the morning..."

    "Family reunions are when relatives gather from all over to be reminded why they scattered in the first place..."

  4. "హం ఆప్కే హై కౌన్" తెలుగు అనువాదం "ప్రేమాలయం"లోని ఒక పాట వరసలో దీనిని పాడుకొనవలయును: ఏమి రాయను నేను శృతి చెడే మనసంతా... నేడు శూన్యపు సొత్తే వున్నదీ నా చెంతా... :)

    రాయటానికేం లేదని తాత్పర్యము :P
