Came across this image on one of the sites that I visited sometime in the past. Does it sound too cliched? It definitely sounds familiar!
We tend to remember forever the times when we were being used. How about the times when we used others? Intentionally or otherwise? That would be rather difficult to remember, right?
When I sit back and recollect such instances, and when I visualise myself in such a situation, I can't help but get an overwhelming feeling of being helpless. May not have been exactly mean or manipulative or even aggressive but essentially helpless. It's almost like an excuse, a factor that justifies putting someone else on the block. We use others. In simple unobtrusive ways. Not debating whether it is right or wrong. Only wondering what it does to oneself.It definitely leaves a very bad taste.
I don't want to be used, but what can I do about it? Try not to do this to anyone else, maybe.

People are used more than humans coz our behavior is more of negative thoughts than positive ones. When someone lends, they expect in return. We all are loved by the same human who uses us for different reasons. Life by itself has become a purpose isn't it. A machine is used as long as it survives the good and bad weather and so we are.
mmm..that's quite a thought, Priya. Thanks. Hope you are doing great.
