As the moment of parting nears, a morbid feeling to escape the circumstance develops, forcing even the staunchest of hearts to bleed emotions.

Living in the cocoon of safety, its difficult to realize the importance of being loved and cared for even at the cost of tolerating idiosyncrasies. It is with great cost that one realizes the mistakes of wanting to rebel without a cause. Experience always teaches with utmost care, ensuring the learning is not lost. It first tells politely and only when there is failure to listen and learn does it opt for harshness. There is unfortunately no choice offered in terms of whether there is a wish to learn.

So be careful what you ask for, you might just get it exactly!
