Sans REASON

At times I really ask myself that why am I friends with A? Even though I presume hat he has never reciprocated my friendship or has never been what I may have boldly called ‘My Friend’, yet I still call him my closest Friend! Doesn’t it seem preposterous? I bet it does. But I just can’t help myself and I keep calling him one of my closest friends. It’s been quite a long while that I have personally dropped the idea of best friends, perhaps because one rarely find such a person! I have had a lots of friends in my life, and have experienced the hard reality the being someone’s friend and someone being your friend are two different, poles apart scenarios. One actually cannot go on and make friends of his own choice, whenever he wants; friends! One, out of the blue, finda them and start going along with them without any particular reason. Therefore I am not choosy with friends; they are only very few that I myself approach and would always want to keep in touch with, and A is definitely one of them.

Now, I am not the only one who is facing such a problem, rather there are millions of people in this world who are doing things without a single damn reason. Such a characteristic seems to be endemic in mankind. For instance an idealists’ perspective of love is unconditional-without any reason a person may start loving someone very dearly. Owing to this trait of man, today we may find many physically, ethnically and religiously diverse couples.

When a man can harbor such an abstract feeling like ‘love’ without a reason then surely there are many other things he may also do without a reason. I have seen many people who use their left hand from the back of their necks to use a cotton bud in their right ear- isn’t that silly? Now don’t ask why! They themselves can’t explain why.

In the same way, why in the world would a person, attending a party, wish to spill a glass of coke on the extravagantly lavish and expensive dress of a lady sitting beside him and then receive a thousand-word speech redundant with exclamations? So much of the happenings but then again without a reason! Its just happens, unintentionally.

Even many celebrities, politicians and superstars around the world, remember Mr.Bush and our prestigious though sleazy politicians, do things which are utterly bizarre, mostly funny, at highly important and executive occasions, simply without a reason, and we call them ‘faux pas’. Although none of them would ever intend to put their honor and prestige on stake but then these things happen inevitably sans a reason. 

Having reasons for everything one does is not always a possibility; everything cannot be justified with mere reasoning. And sometimes we prefer being such.

 At the same time one should understand that there are some very important times in our life where we have to make rational decisions. Like when choosing ones’ life partner (miracles don’t happen every time), planning ones’ future goals, ambitions, careers and many such decisions where reasoning should be given utmost priority as there are no rewind buttons neither any sequel, written by us, that may rectify our wrongs.

As I have a reason for writing this article similarly you should also have a reason for reading it and if it doesn’t exist, not only for this article but for any composition you read then its better to get on sans reading!
