I think we get to a certain point in our lives that we understand about when people should stay & when they should go. The thing is, it's rare that the other person agrees on which that should be.

I've read a little about Hinduism. Each faith has a different take on it. I feel the important thing is we learn something from our interactions. To improve ourselves & more so, to be able to help others.

I think of those one time encounters as being with an angel on earth. One of us was there when the other needed someone.

I took it to mean it could be us to them as well. The thing about ending a friendship or relationship, both people don't always agree. Sometimes people stay in an abusive situation (I know from experience), for example, because it needs to play out a certain way. Hopefully, with both people leaving with their lives. Which, unfortunately, doesn't always happen. I also believe there can be more than one reason or season with a person. Lifetime doesn't necessarily mean you'll be connected for 50. Sometimes you go in & out of each other's lives. I thik the important thing is, we try to learn from each of our interactions to make the best us & even more so, to be able to help others.

We don't know how long they should be in our lives...for the moment etc. There are times though that I have realized it is time to cut the cord. Sometimes that is harder than keeping them in my life.

Good post.According to the Hindu religion we meet or interact with people in accordance with our Karma...the give or take is all scripted, we act our part and when the account is dealt with the person moves away, departs or simply leaves.Lifetime relationships perhaps have a fixed deposit in the Karma Bank.

Re:

I totally agree with Sea_Gypsy. We can be the difference to a person and vice versa just by one simple meeting.

This is very true. But it’s also good to remember sometimes people don’t come into our lives for a reason, but rather, we come into their lives - and why, we may never know! I think deep inside we all know when it is time to let go of a friendship and when it can stay on.
