The falling Leaves or troubled Relationships !!


Nature tells us many things in its own way, but we are not able to understand what exactly nature is trying to tell us. Today, when I was walking on my lawn, falling leaves  playing with the wind and were trying to show their resistance no to go along with the current of air. The leaves were trying to stay on the lawn grass, suddenly a big gust of wind  came and all the leaves scattered here and there and some more fall down from the tree.

The wind was trying hard to carry them, the leaves were feeling pressure and  there was a sound of their resistance not to go along with the wind. However, after a certain fight between leaves and wind, some of the leaves stuck in a corner and some went away.

I was watching this ordinary scene very carefully , after some time I saw some more leaves start falling from  the trees, even though this time wind was very nominal.Some leaves were so pale & weak that it seems they were looking a reason to fall from the trees, even though, some were lavish green and still holding some life, but were forced to knock down due to wind power ,some were just hanging with tree to see their future that how long they  survive before winter will crushed them permanently.

The season of fall tells us sooner or later nature will destroy whatever it has created, it's just a matter of time when this will happen. The leaves have some define life, old leaves have to go to make a way for coming new leaves.

Nature tells us, once the leaves had been falling, it has happened for the permanent, there is no going back. Can you put back falling leaves back to the tree, I am sure, even a fool will not think to try this then why we act like such kind of a fool in real life.

Here, I am talking about relationships, it's an analogy with the leaves that whether it’s a human relationship or leaves both have a defined life, when life is over they have to lose their place.

However, we human doesn’t understand this thing, we want to carry old relationships forever, although we have got some new relations and in the future we are counting for more to come. We do not want to accept the basic rule of the nature that if old will not dispense their place them how new will take their positions?

Think about this, if the tree does not through the old leaves, then how new leaves will come on the tree? If newer does not come how tree will understand the change of weather and bloom again?

Same applied in human life, when we were kids, we have very closed relations with brothers, sisters, uncles, cousin etc.. However, as we grow older and move on in the life, some new relations come.

In the middle of the age, We have a wife, kids and other new relatives due to marriage, if we keep our focus on old relations how we will justify for the new. We can’t be  too serious forever for old relations. We have to be practical to accept this fact that our time and resources are limited.

Same happened with colleagues and friends, once you move on from one office to another, you gradually forget your old colleagues and established new relationships with new people. We can’t carry old relation with same way and energy what we used to do in the past.

Here time is acting like a wind, which is forcing us to go along, however, we have still some resistance to accept the brutal facts.

Sometime in the life we were forced to break the relationships due to unavoidable circumstances, if we keep reminding those mistakes which were the cause of the breakup, we can’t move further. This is also a fact, once the string is broken, whatever we tried to make it correct there will be a joint.

It’s the cruel way  of nature to teach us that  life is just like a season, once the season is over you have to depart and new will come.


Falling leaves keep on telling us life is fragile, it will be over soon and when the time will come all the relations will be useless.

Don’t cry for a loss of a relationship, it was made for to be broken, it just matter of time today or tomorrow.

If old does not go them new can not come and cycle will stop.

It’s the nature of the relations that some time we tried very hard to keep a string attach but could not succeed even though we have not committed any mistakes, however relation was meant to be broken. It could be our spouse, brother sister or friends.

Don’t waste your time to make the things batter at the cost of hurting yourself, your surrender will not change anything, consider it’s a cycle of nature and move on to new horizons…
