make or break ?

In this fast paced world ,this is something we hear more than often -the "make or break situation" .
From trying to get into a good college to landing good projects at a work place. In fact it all starts from a period before our birth ..from that 1 sperm out of many which battles its way into our 'making' !!
But what saddens me is that we are so adapted to it that we are now capable of only the extremes . We just cannot handle the average or mediocre or simplicity in anything . We make it worse by applying the same rule to even relations .
There is a beautiful old saying that is there to show us the difference in impacts of choosing the extremes : it says "If our nails grow long then we just cut the nails and not our entire finger or hand" .
Why can't we act accordingly? If there are misunderstandings in a relation then we need to cut our ego and not the entire relation itself !

We are now becoming capable of being someone's best friend or their worst enemy ! What happened to the concepts of acquaintances ,just friends, good friends ,mutual friends,associates etc .. !?
Even with the advent of the latest technology and communication means to keep people connected ,all I see and personally feel is that people are least connected these days and even when they say they are , it is very superficial .
A personal touch is replaced by a touch screen, a letter filled with heart and soul is replaced by emails containing bold dark block letters ,a face-to-face conversation is replaced with a telephonic conversation where you cannot read a person's eyes and the voice you hear is also tuned ,amplified to fit it to certain frequencies etc. !

So when we ourselves have brought some machine in between us and our dear ones ,is it not expected that these machines may also bring along certain other elements with it, such as .......... misunderstandings ??
And since it is expected ,should we not be prepared to face it and rectify it ?

But what is it that we are doing ?? We keep these machines as our back up to mistakes that we commit.. It is convenient for us to blame the network when we forget wishing somebody on their special days ,it is easy for us to put on a "busy" tone for somebody who is desperately trying to reach us without having to spend a word or a minute on them. We even end relations by just dropping a message !

Is this how casual relations have become to us ? Is this the net worth of moments we spend with someone ?
What happened to the good old civilized way of meeting a person , telling the person of the reasons as to why you no longer can continue a relation , thanking them for all the good you got from them and then parting ways ?Why is it always a sinusoidal wave where either we keep 'poking' a person the entire day throughout the year or we once and for all 'block' them from our lives.
The only effect is that we build negative vibes around ourselves and we get so caught up with the trivial issues that we forget to see the beauty of life which is above all of this.
We end up saying horrible things to people who don't deserve it and we cannot even measure the intensity of how much it might have hurt them. We end up saying (read 'texting' or 'mailing' considering we hardly 'say' literally !!) things which we may never take back and God forbid if its our last day on earth or even worse ,if its their last day on earth !!Our last memory with that person will be of this fight and we may regret our entire lives for not getting a chance to correct it.

So all i'd like to say is .... for the few days we are here , let us not fight for things that wont matter after a certain period of time and let us spread the laughter around us :) For who knows, all our assumptions that we base our theories on might prove wrong from the start & may happen to be just the play our mind .
It is left to us to decide our priorities and the worth of everything or every person in our life.
We might have already made mistakes ,let us at least be careful with the people left .....

Keep smiling :)

P.S : This is also a dedication to few people in my life who despite all my wrong doings, rude behaviors  arrogance and ignorance showcased by me have corrected me, forgiven me time and again and still stood by me and showered me with the same love, care and affection . Thank you from the deepest bottom of my heart :) I love you all to the maximum extent of love that my li'l red heart can pump out :)
And to those who chose to walk out too , thank you for being there for the short duration that you were :)
