Staying Connected

It is said that " The Stronger my relation with my Critical Relations would be, the stronger I will be" Everyone knows and understands that..agrees but doesn't believe. In my opinion your beliefs reflect in your personality. If you really believe in something it is clearly visible in your personality, a dominant part that seldom changes.

We stay connected to those who normally stay connected with us, but prefer to stay connected with those whom we consider necessary. In this preference we lose connection and also our importance in the eyes of those whom we considered less important, in our preference list and then sometimes, we realise what we missed in this process and regret it all our lives.


Staying connected is always a two way process actually, the preference we give to one relationships is reciprocated and bounced back to us. We do not understand that staying connected is absolutely necessary for us not for the others only. We start feeling like someone special, like a celebrity and pretend like one, giving an impression that connecting with me, is more important for others not me.

Actually it works the other way around. Why only others should always be trying to stay connected to me? It might look like that they need me more than I need them. But this is only a temporary situation. Humans tend to adopt quickly and learn how to live without something that is not available or less available and they soon find alternatives because there is nothing called indispensable in this world. But we even pretend to ourselves that everything would still be the same when I return as i left it.

We always think it is not my duty to stay connected, and we lose a lot silently. Then sooner or later we realise that the loss which doesn't seem to be noticeable during the time of feeling like a celebrity is not recoverable now.

We all agree that staying connected and supportive is beneficial. For this we join parties, social forums and networks, buy expensive devices,  just to stay connected with those we don't know and forget those we already know. We are on our phones, PC's or in front of a TV while our critical relations are sitting around us, waiting for us to pay attention. But we are busy texting, talking to someone far away or using social networks and sharing information to get to know someone new and never realising that happiness is not having what you want, its actually wanting what you already have.

Don't you think there is a need to re prioritise our connections? We love to have a large connection list on social networks but we hardly even communicate with most of these contacts. Even God says to the humans that He remembers those who remember him. Remembering means staying connected, why do we try to stay disconnected in this world from our creator when we know its the most powerful unbreakable connection even when we keep ignoring it by never communicating when the easiest of all communications is the communication with God.

How do we expect not to be ignored by Him when we keep on ignoring  Him? And still try to figure out reasons of all those problems we face in our lives that exist just because we are being ignored by our Lord.

Profound thoughts so simply put an achievement in itself, Congratulations.
Yes in today's fast paced and gadget world making connections in thousands is the in thing, internet has made the world a very small village but, immediate family/friends several connections apart.
“buy expensive devices, just to stay connected with those we don't know and forget those we already know.” So true that we only realizes the reality when time is long gone.
Another aspect of too many connections is that we, while trying to keep up with them all, loose true perspective of the one’s that do matter more than just being another contact on your list. Yes we do need to prioritize our connections, especially the ones we think important enough to know that they are there for us, with sincerity, loyalty, faith and straightforwardness.
Every contact we make is for some selfish reason of our own, even with The Creator, we want to gain something be it monitory, social, psychological. In this race to get something we usually forget that there is, some things that have to be done to get what we want.

Very nice thoughts
We all seriously need to think about setting the preferences in our relationships.
