Relationship in motion

During yesterday's lunch, I observe several relationship in motion. There arr several pairs of pairs of couples eating together. Of course, there are several group fates in progress but I want to focus on couples because it is more personal. For me, I am doing business lunch in three.

There was a couple in their early twenties sitting in the table next to me. The female partner look restless and uptight while waiting for the food while male partner was using his ipad and doing something with it. There was barely any conversation during this whole time at the lunch. What is the use if sitting together for lunch when the heart don't syn? Or why are they together in the first place if their passion hve cool off?

It is not necessary to talk during a lunch or when two people are together and it is often a bliss to be quietand aware of our own action or observation. It is in fact a joy to be focus and aware. But,if relationship is not in harmony, it will be a torture and everything will be in discourse. Why I'd the need to force the situation or attempt to hold to the relation and force it to work? Is this necessary?

People are afraid of loniness and it is a general opinion that it is socially unacceptable that you eat by yrself. The more social you are, the better is your image. This thinking is wrong because when we are alone, we giving full attention to ourself which is the most important to us. We need quiet time for ourself to handle our affairs, emotions and thoughts. if we have a good internal condition then we will have a wonderful external. Don't be shy to be alone with yourself but maintain a compassionate heart to all. We should remember that if we cannot help others, we should not hurt. This is another charting to re-affirm our vow.

There arr other couple which is busy chatting away and there are those fast food eaters trying to finish their lunch within the shortest time and rush back to work. It is a matter to fill their stomach with food without knowing the taste and enjoying it. Why bother to come to such eatery for food ? There is no differmce between an abalone or a piece white bread. The purpose is to fill your stomach.it is more economical to stuff your self with a simple bun and eat when you are working. Anyway, there is no joy in the food.

Of course, there are wise people who eating the right way and enjoying themselves. These are the greater people who choose their life journey. I am not saying that by one observation ,these couples are not happy. But, for that particular momen, they are not.

Hope you will slow down and enjoy your journey. Be aware and blissful and capture every moment with zest.

Namaste.
