Question:
All star signs perspective: Life - full of surprises, the unknown, unexpected and not quite thought about?

Life generally in full of surprises, the unknown and the unexpected. In life you have people who will generally be in your life till the end or just passer-by in your life.

My question is:

Do you sometimes look around at the people presently in your life and ever wonder in they are generally the ones who will stay or passers-by?

If you have never thought like this...till now, has it got you thinking, wondering and cautious (as you never quite know what the future holds and you never quite no if the ones you love or your loved ones will stay regardless or let distances or an issue part you without trying to make it stay)?

What aspect has arose to mind when you thought about this?

What is your star sign?

Hmm, interesting...



I definitely think there are those that you simply KNOW will always be a part of your life and those who may drift away eventually... but I think they are all important on different levels you know? Every action has a reaction, right? Just as every person who enters your life will undoubtedly change or alter it in some way or another, whether you consciously recognize it or not. I think the smallest, most unconscious changes can be just as important as the ones you spend your thoughts on, so I guess I feel like yes, although some will stay and some will go, they are all completely necessary.



It's sad when you recognize a person as the "passer-by" type and you genuinely care for them, but sometimes losing them is almost inevitable. You can try and keep them in your life as best you can but sometimes circumstance is more influential than self action. This annoys me because it leaves it out of my control.



I feel like I'm rambling, but when I read your question that's what I started thinking about. Hope I was on the right track there. =]

Hi Unpredicatable,

I am at a point in life now where I have seen so many significant people in my life come and go that I don't really view anyone as being permanent. That's not to say that I act any differently believing this - I still care very deeply about the people I love and hurt when they slip away; but it is the natural order of things - imo. My dad used to tell me, "friends come and go, but your family is there until the end, ........." and then HE died. So, the so what is that we don't really know and can't control all the people that impact and influence our lives. People come and go; some stay a short time and some stay for a longer period of time, and that's just the way it is.

I agree with rach here. I find myself doing that with a lot of these questions lol. I too get attached to people. And I find myself wondering after a break up, when people go their seperate ways, and no longer speak to each other, where does the love go? How could 2 people who were so close to each other just all of a sudden stop talking to each other? I have never understood that and I never will. I also find that friends that I've been very close to, after I haven't seen them in a long time, if I see them again, I'm a lil uncomfortable around them, like I just don't know them anymore. It's sad. I'm also very guarded with my heart for fear of being hurt. I have venus in scorpio and when I fall in love it's deeply and passionatly and whole heartedly. I love that person with my whole heart and soul and I'm deeply commited in that relationship and if that relationship ends my whole world ends with it.

Interesting question Unpredictable!



I have thought about this many times, and have discussed it with my close friends. I once had a friend who expected people to always come and go through her life. She would say that people come in at certain times and that no matter how long they were in her life, what mattered was that you had certain experiences with them, and that she learned and grew as a person, even though they would not always be in her life. For me, I never understood why friendships would fall apart. When I let someone close to me, I never want them out of my life. I believe that true friendships are the ones that last forever, no matter how far apart two people are. Over the years I have had people that were once close to me, slowly distance themselves and leave from my life, and though it makes me sad, I have come to accept that there are only a rare few that will stay. However, one thing is for sure, I cannot go into any relationship knowing that it will not last forever. I am realistic, and I realize that we can never know, never completely expect things to go our way, but when I let someone close to me, I must know that I can trust them, so I will not expect them to leave. That is why I don't let people get close to me too easily. I have a bunch of friends and acquaintances, but the ones that I consider my true, close friends, and loved ones, are the ones that I know will not abandon me. I pick up on vibes from people, and I often know from the beginning which people are going to give me their loyalty. I have had a few friends in my life that have stuck with me for years, and those are the ones that I truly value and adore. I am currently single, because I cannot have relationships for the sake of having them. I find it very hard to fall in love or become attached, but when I do, I become so attached to that person, I feel that they are mine. I will never let that bond break...I have only fallen in love once, and though that person is out of my life at the moment, I still feel a bond with them that will never break.

Yes, I'm ALWAYS wondering that: who will leave and who will come and who will stay. Day-to-day, I never know and I always wonder. It's slightly disturbing for me, so.."unknown"...so, like an abyss at your feet...but that's Life, I guess, huh?



As to your comments about you giving "unconditional love" and getting back "conditional", it seems like you are judging and thus that makes "unconditional" love, "conditional". What I mean is; unconditional love is NOT thought "oh I am giving unconditional love" because when you think that, it becomes conditional. Unconditional love does not think. It simply is. It neither asks for something in return either, that's why they call it "unconditional" love.



A tuffy, I know! :-)

Cheers to you and your spiritual thoughts.
