"The power in a relationship lies in the one who cares lesser" - By Unknown.
I think I heard this sentence in a movie? Or maybe in a book I read. Can't remember now.
Is it true, I wonder? I guess when the person said this, he means the person who cares lesser has it easier when it comes to walking away. He won't have to deal with that much emotions, sleepless nights, intoxicated moments or boxes of Kleenex.
What is happening to this world now? Have we all gone heartless or has society norms pushed us too far till we need to feel that we have power in everything we do? And that includes the power to break someone's heart?
Recently, I have a few too many friends going through divorces and break-ups. And when we speak, more than often I hear people saying that they are leaving everything behind because they can. No longer is staying behind a choice because they want to. People are leaving because they can and so they are doing it.
I wonder, when you are the person who chose to leave, are you happy? Do you really feel that powerful? And what happens when the dust settles? One day, down the road when memories starts to fill your head, do you still feel powerful knowing that you had once broken someone's heart, turned her world upside down and lost something that could have possibly been the best thing in your life?
No one dies because of another's departure. But we all know - especially if you have been the one that has been abandoned behind before - a broken heart can heal but the scar remains. The tears may have dried but that feeling of sadness can surface easily again. What is over may have been over but the memories can never be washed away. However, this is when power comes to the one who cares more because this is the one who had the heart broken yet braved all storms, wiped away all tears, stood up taller than before and walked on proudly.
Well, well, so the one who cared less - do you really have more power?
Or are you powerless actually?
