Paradox.. oxymoron
Saturday, September 30th, 2006Our lives are full of paradox and oxymorons… and may be i can explain this through the following sentence:
"the strength of a weak tie"
It fits perfectly for friendships. I was relunctant to write this in detail, but for the sake of anyone reading this, i had to create a situation where this comes to play its part.
Say, for example, there is a person who wants to find a job. According to the statistics, most ppl get recommendations of jobs from their acquaintance, not their best friends. This is very true when most of your closer friends have the same interest as u do and your acquaintances are probably good in other sectors that u are not familiar with. So, it is clear that there is indeed a strength unforetold/unseen/not noticed in a weak tie. I dont really know how to explain this, but u may just take a few minutes to think about your life, are there such situations? i am sure there are, at least one.
Here, i am trying to stress that sometimes we somehow neglete our acquaintances, but remember, they are the ones who are most helpful, although not always, when u face a crisis. Nevertheless, a weak tie is never as strong as a tie between good friends. And it takes us effort and commitment to keep that tie strong. However, when compared, it’s the stronger tie that will hurt u more when something happens between the two subjects.. and i am sure, no one hopes that a strong tie deteriorates, more so broken.
Same applies to the tie between us and God. We must take the effort to continue an intimate relationship with our Lord Jesus Christ. Let us not take God for granted and remember that prayer heals…
take care everyone. All my acquaintance and my caring friends. thank you so much that at least, u were part of my life. Once. thank you
