The mind is at unrest. An online profile evaluation told me that I am cursed with some abnormality in my left-brain, which allows me to analyze human emotions through even the twitching of muscles on a person’s face. More often than not, unbelievably I have managed to home in on the darkest corner of the mind of a person. And it is not pleasant, revealing secrets that deserve to be left alone. But it is not in my hands. I can’t do anything about it. It happens unconsciously.
People talk about loyalty and commitment. But can even one human being on this earth tell me that he/she has not been emotionally unfaithful. The same applies to me as well and here I am, stuck neck deep in a dilemma trying to reason out my follies. But I do believe one thing that people deserve what they deserve. Contrary to popular belief of me being God, the logic above is simple and do not need divine intervention.
A relationship is actually bondage of need. To explain a bit further, a relationship is a dichotomy. It is not only about handholding, it is about trying to recognize one’s existence and give it a form. Once, a need is fulfilled the inevitable happens. Not every relationship is based on a need theory though. The flutter of a shy eyelash, the fleeting smile- almost surreal, the sudden rush of warmth on the left side of our chests are also relationships, too short to be given meaning to. But these are small jigsaw pieces, scraps that piece our day together. It would be wrong to say that I don’t believe in them, the problem is that I am not alone in my thought.

some realtinships, too short to be given meaning to.
jigsaw pieces....am not alone in my thought.
I think the title is apt- 'Handicapped'....
Life would have been easier and less complicated if relationships were based on the Theory of Need... and if that was so then it wouldn't hurt as much wen a relationship would end... and yes u are right it is about trying to recognize one's existence and giving it a form...
