Its you and you only

Its you and you only

When we say that I have so many friends and so many colleagues can you really say that you know everyone 100%?, even if not all can you ever know a person 100%. I would say it is never so and this is my experience.

One day I was sitting in the office, the person sitting next to me suddenly resigned. I got to know about this when he is writing his goodbye letter. I was completely surprised, I had seen Management giving extra attention to him, good increments, support and fast promotions. He was performing well, in few days time he had come close to my level. All of a sudden he resigned, when I asked him about it there was only one reason better prospects. We used to have lunch together, share our achievements, talk about bad days etc and in 1 day all was over. I felt bad for the Company and the complete team working around him. I thought I knew the person but you really cannot and not in the corporate world. The days when people used to stick to 1 Company are not more true. I would say that corporate friendship is not true, but how can a person keep so much hidden in ones mind. You are around these people 80% of the time and all of the friendship is just a show off. ...

I was talking to a very close friend and I knew his secret from an acquaintance, I tried to give my friend couple of changes but the story did not come out. I was really hurt, then I though to myself there is not point in finding out the truth if my friend doesn't want to tell. Couple of years later I get to know the same secret from my friends mouth himself, I was surprised, I asked why after so many years, the answer was, I thought you wouldn't understand. To which I coolly smiled and ended the topic. If I think, there are many secrets I have not told anyone other that the people with whom they have happened, so should I really get angry on my friend for not sharing?

You can never know the person truly. There are lot of things hidden in ones mind. Parents dont know their kids 100%, Kids dont know their siblings 100%, Spouses dont know each other 100%, if this is the reality I keep on asking myself which is the person in this world whom one can trust fullest. The answer I get, Its you and you only...
