Dear Reader,
I came across this article today while browsing and thought of ruminating on it through this post. (Stop. Go read the article and come back to me.)
Now that you've read the article, you can relate to me better. Well, do you not think that we are obsessing over individuality and space a little too much now-a-days that I'm compelled to call these over-rated words? Weren't we taught in schools that sharing is good and especially with the one that you love? Love is defined as " A deep, tender, ineffable feeling of affection and solicitude toward a person" by www.thefreedictionary.com. Then why in the name of Lord Jesus Christ are we trying to veil some parts of our lives with the one we love?
Doesn't it strike as odd? In the pretense of having space, are we not estranging the person from selective parts of our lives? As human beings, we have this innate fear of being judged and rejected. We seek approvals of our actions, our thoughts and our personality at all points of time. So, are we afraid that not all parts of our lives will be accepted 'as is' by the loved one and hence we end up creating space?
I'm a firm believer that you need to feel as "one" with the person you are in love. Two people, as individuals, need to feel as "one" to make a relationship. Harping over individuality and space only deters this feeling. There are places where we need to establish our individuality and love isn't in the list. What do you think?
