Pairs! I was thinking aloud by repeating the word teams in my mind, and suddenly my slothful daughter from the couch in front of me – thanks to quarantine, all of a sudden screamed ‘Mamma do you know how many pairs we have in our living room’?
Raising my head from my laptop with surprise, I asked her What? She, utterly bored in the afternoon, got up and started explaining to me in the most confident manner like – have conquered the highest peak of Mount Everest in replying to me back. See Mamma, we have
- Two same photo frames on wall
- Two Same Chandelier on roof
- Two same Stickers on wall
- Two Rabbits
- Two Show Piece
With this now, she started joking around after some serious talk that also we have two doors, two windows, two chairs and much more… Innocently, she has touched the topic with essence to think over for all of us. I had no choice left but to agree with her. We both then laughed our hearts out! She filled me up with pride about her observations skills. Staying more than a decade in the same house, I never thought this way and today, when I wanted a write-up on Pairs, she not only saved me but gave me my article!
But this definitely left me with deep thinking about how important Pairs are! Was this a coincident or mistakenly coincidence that happened with me! Is this indicating me further to think of for my personality, that how important it is to have a pair – a Soulmate! Now, partner, I don’t only mean married couples! No! It could be anything or any relation. Friends, siblings, couples, parents, and so much more! We are often in pairs with someone for emotional ground and others for spiritual.
In reality, on a border scale, aren’t we all pair up with something or other in our lives. Emotionally, spiritually and in many different ways, we depend on a partner! To make us feel complete, confident, the reason to be happy, look forward to and much more…
The word “Life” is as deep as it gets. Life is a tough place to tackle, and conquering all the battles on your own is a big challenge. However, given that we are human, it follows that “doing life” is made more accessible if it is “Shared” & “Paired”.
