Do we ever move on...?

It was one of those times when a question leaves you completely speechless and flabbergasted. But, once you come to think of it, you realize that given a chance, you could actually even blog about it. And that is what precisely i am doing.  

One of my good friends once asked me, if i have moved on and if i am completely over it? And as philosophical as i love to be.. I said, “Do we ever move on?” 

This is only the gist of my reply BTW! :P

I could only say so cos i have been mulling over the question myself and i hadn’t found the answer. I believe myself to be from a conventional-classic era. Hence, the modern terminologies such as ‘dating’, ‘boy/girlfriend’, break-up/off sound a little foreign to me. But, when i was asked the question, i had to choose a side, the either side of the fence. So, my answer had to be in a ‘yes’ or a ‘no’.

I asked in turn, that do we ever move on from what we really believed in and from something that we tried to make work with all our sincerity? I guess not. Cos how many of us are completely over with our past, a past that connects us to any sort of a great experience. Even those who have achieved great success in life remember their days of struggle and cry. Even those who have found great love, even more wonderful and love-ful love are revisited by the memories of a painful love.

So, for me it was difficult to benchmark the ‘Moved on Status’. But, i was glad to have been reminded of the state of mind, as all most of the answers lie there. I think that, pretty much defines our status. It’s all about how are we dealing with the memory of that past. Does the ‘ghost’ still haunt us? Or are we at peace with the experience and add it to the credit side of our Life’s balance sheet?

Every great feeling that came with a victory, failure, music, taste or any great experience tends to live with us. It may grow or it may fade. That is decided by the coming choices and experiences. But, if we can say that, that experience was required to complete our life’s story, means we are peace with it. 

And we are all set to, Move on...
