The Great Battle

One of the greatest battle we fight is the one between our heart and our head. Often, we are conflicted when our heart wants one thing but logic says this is wrong or vice versa. This is a battle between emotions and logic. Let me paint a picture, imagine a scenario where you have a friend, and your friend is in a relationship with someone, your friend’s partner is nice, sweet, lovable and ticks all the right boxes you could think of, as time goes on and their relationship as well as your relationship with your friend’s partner progresses, you realize you started developing feelings or some form of sexual attraction towards your friend’s partner. After all, one cannot control who they love.

Hmmmmm.

Side Note

I believe everyone is different, with their unique persona and a person’s character is a result of some factors such as personal experience, morals, upbringing and the environment which they grew up in. In essence, I am saying everyone would handle such a situation how they think or feel is best which is based on their personal judgement, and that is subjective to each individual.

Continuation

To buttress my topic, let me highlight the choices of someone who is selfish, but values the relationship they have with their friend (This is merely a one sided analysis). Said person is now feeling some type of way towards their friend’s partner, and they know pursuing this would be betrayal, at least in the eyes of a third party. Said person is at a crossroad Do I pursue my personal interest not minding whose ox is gored? Or Do I ignore my feelings?... These questions in the person’s mind will spark an inner conflict. The Great Battle

General Questions:

The questions are for two situations

1. What would you do, if you find yourself falling for your friend’s partner? How would you handle the situation?

2. If you found out your friend has genuine feelings for your partner,, how would you respond or react to that scenario?

Many of us fight different forms of this great battle within us. RIGHT AND WRONG is subjective, barring all what can be classified as universal right and wrong, right and wrong is like sands on a beach, and everyone has a line drawn in the sands to differentiate what is right from what is wrong and while some lines meet, some lines drawn are parallel to each other and like sands on the beach, right and wrong can be washed away, lines drawn on the sand can be erased by waves from the ocean.

Conclusion

Often, our judgement or opinion about situations are as a result of several factors coming into play, factors that make up our personality, that make us who we are. So, before we are judgmental about another person’s opinion or judgement, think about factors that may have influenced them to have such an opinion, factors that are different from factors that influenced your opinion or judgement.
