Past, Present and the Future: 2

We are now outdoing each other, adding more and more 'friends' to our social networks. But really, how many of these friend are we really related with? When I say 'related with', I mean as to really connected - you know the feeling. There are few relation each one has - you cannot leave without. These are the relationships which just grow, these are the ones which are ' selfless' - which let us go but still always are binding. ----If you are wondering, where I am going. In to the Past. Brian Weiss's case study states that a number of relationships in our current lives do draw on our relationships from our past lives. No wonder, some of the relationships feel so intimate and then there are some strangers with whom we connect instantly. 'It feels like we have known is other for long-----'. Sounds familiar? And there are few 'connections' whom we hate - for no apparent reasons! 'I just can't stand that person' - isn't this familiar too? Why? I am convinced, the Past flows in to the Present. And hence I want to treat each relationship with love and compassion. Thank God and touch wood, I do not hate any one!

As to the number of 'friends' on social network, our daughter has 1355 friends. Couple of years ago, when we went to bring her back from an exclusive summer camp, I was speaking to a parent about these numbers and she said ' oh, if she has those many, guess how powerful her 'LinkedIn' network be!
