Bonds

Welcome back. Thank you for reading my constant ramblings till date (even if this is your first time on my blog). But do read other posts.
Today I want to talk about Bonds. What bonds are and which one in particular I am talking about. Well if you have read this blog for long, you would know that I'm talking about the bonds between people.
Well, you might have heard: "United we stand, divided we fall" and what not and that is exactly what I'll be tackling today, so hang in there. But first I want to try to categorize bonds or at least summarize (which is impossible).
Bonds forged over time. The most common among all of us. The major reason why your mother is your mother (yes, it's true). I would also say, in my personal experience that it is the most frail (especially if you don't know anything about that person even after spending years together).
"You've know you parents all you life but they know you for only a short" so you should know as much as you can about you parents and or children to avoid as much friction as possible. I currently face serious friction between everyone in my family because our bond is solely the time we spent together.
Bonds with an external connection. What I mean by this, is, a bond you have with someone because something connects you two. It's usually children, but, it can be anything else from not being able to survive alone, you bear one sided love and what not. I am personally not a fan of this, but if someone were to have a bond with me solely because they have something they want from me it would still be better than not knowing why you have a bond with me.
Bond between relatives. If you ask me this is the combo of the two previously mentioned types of bonds (bonds with an external connection and bonds with an external connection). Some people only converse with one another on the sole reason that they are related. This bond, to me, is the most frail because relatives tend to neglect the need to understand one another and instead develop a kind of stereotype towards you (i.e. They have a glorious and or not so glorious image of you in their head)
Bond that doesn't need words. Ever watch Anime? You know those characters that somehow know what to do without ever actually opening their mouths and saying anything? That is a concrete bond. This is prominent in people that confide in each other and warriors (regardless of whether you fought a war or not).
The beauty of this bond is that in may or may not include all of the bond types I previously mentioned.
If you think you have a bond just because you are together or if you believe in "united we stand divided we fall" then you should know, being together with people you have no real bond with, will make you nothing but Styrofoam. (that white...thing used in packaging).
Now that I'm done with my ramblings... what type of bond would you want and which is, in your opinion, the best and or most ideal bond type for any good relationship?
Thank you for reading.

The Life Of A Dropout: Day 7

Today was extremely, somewhat, probably good. I met a brother of mine, which we will be addressing today as "A". I chat with him frequently and I have asked him his view on what has been happening in my life and thankfully he had somewhat the same answer I thought he would give (I can't really say, I'm not in his head). He said "Me... I don't care whether you're schooling or selling fish or maybe stripping.... everybody's got his own life to live...."  and then he sent a really long message which, not that I wouldn't want to write, but, it's a pain. Oh what the heck. I can at least summarize it. He said he didn't care whether you gave him the "I don't care" attitude (which he was guilty of giving everyone) or what people thought about him neither does he have time to worry about someone else's problems when he's got his own life (and problems). That's basically the summary. I was vaguely happy to hear this...

The Life Of A Dropout: Day 2

What to talk about today. Ah. My school life. Fitting in wasn't easy for an 'introvert' like myself, and being that we were only allowed to dress corporate or go home. The school was downright screwed and whats more they believe that they can become one of the top ten (10) Universities in the World in 10 years. Anyhow that's their stupidity. A lot of things happened when I was there though. I resumed Gaming and Anime. I had this dude on my floor, Alex, he watched, and had, A LOT of anime. At the time I was only watching Naruto. And I had a really fat really strong roommate and his name was Daniel. He was the 'importer' (if you will) of our games. My laptop wasn't that bad so I managed to play games like Devil May Cry, Call Of Duty and FIFA 14. Not to impressive and not too disappointing. First semester was really fun and interesting all through but when second semester came it was the end game. A friend of mine got an MSI prestige, I was the primary user ...

The Life Of A Dopout: Day 6

Siblings, the weak point of any older brother and or sister. No matter how much they annoy you, betray you and whatever else they could do to you, you still forgive them. (although there are a few things that I personally cannot and or will not forgive, particularly, Betrayal). So today I will tell you about the reaction my siblings had and the way their current treatment towards me. I am the first of four (through my mother), after me comes H (a seventeen year old girl), followed by M (a soon to be ten year old boy) and then finally S (a five year old girl). I am Nineteen today (June 17). So, the reaction of of H, the eldest of my younger ones was quite annoying. She was the primary course of all the malice my Father showed towards me. ANY story she fabricated and told my dad, he would believe (without caring about what I had to say), which in turn made me more distant than I already was. And it still happens till date. Any who, she kept bearing about theush when I asked her some ...
