It's Complicated..



Don't you sometimes get fed by the way some people use the phrase "It's complicated!" only in a messed up romantic relationship?

I do!
And I have a different interpretation...

It's complicated.. when a father knows he's going to lose one of his children because his pockets are not that filled. He can't do anything about it. Yet, he watches the walking moneybags get their treatment for free since they are VIPs. Ironic! How rich people get everything for free while poor ones have to pay for their least rights.

It's complicated.. when you know that a mother out there is crying for her son, and Vivian is crying for her fiancée, while we can still hold the people we love. We try to ignore that their blood was shed for our sakes, so that the guilt will not make our own blood freeze in our veins. We sigh, pray for them and then laugh at the joke our loved ones crack. And the laughs are followed by silence... in a time when silence becomes our own tool of oppressing ourselves.

It's complicated.. when you tell a friend a lie, fearing that you might hurt him/her, but knowing that later on life is going to show them the truth in the form of a blow in the face. Which is going to be more painful? Will they forgive you if you tell them now? Will they forgive you when they find out you were lying? And frankly, are you lying for their sake, or for your sake?

It's complicated.. when you see a 7-year-old child, selling. You wish to buy from them so that you do not disappoint those hopeful eyes. But then, if you do, you'd be encouraging child labour. You might be destroying his life with the few pounds you pay. And you have less than a minute to make a decision.

It's complicated... and it's not love that makes it complicated..
It's the combination of feelings that make us human..
Love. Hate. Happiness. Sorrow. Fear. Loneliness. Sympathy.
We're human.. so it's complicated.
