Talk about meaningful lyrics

This song forms the closing piece to one of the House series episodes. Have been listening to it for a couple of days now. I've realized that it makes enough sense to qualify to be here. 
Its called "Desire" by Ryan Adams.

Tranquility expressed through song

A Reason, a Season or a Lifetime

People come into your life for a reason, a season, or
a lifetime. When you figure out which one it is, you
will know what to do for each person.

When someone is in your life for a REASON . . . It is
usually to meet a need you have expressed. They have
come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you
with guidance and support, to aid you physically,
emotionally, or spiritually. They may seem like a
godsend, and they are! They are there for the reason
you need them to be.

Then, without any wrong doing on your part, or at an
inconvenient time, this person will say or do something
to bring the relationship to an end.

Sometimes they die.
Sometimes they walk away.
Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand.

What we must realise is that our need has been met, our
desire fulfilled, their work is done. The prayer you
sent up has been answered. And now it is time to move on.

When people come into your life for a SEASON . . .
Because your turn has come to share, grow, or learn.
They bring you an experience of peace, or make you laugh.
They may teach you something you have never done.
They usually give you an unbelievable amount
of joy. Believe it! It is real! But, only for a season.

LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons; things
you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional
foundation. Your job is to accept the lesson, love the
person, and put what you have learned to use in all
other relationships and areas of your life. It is said
that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant


It should be known that the poem above is not originally mine. I would have given the writer credit, but it was attributed as anonymous.
After I read this poem, I realized that it formed the most fitting conclusion to my previous post. That's the reason its here...

Change cOgnition proGress "The Light"

Over the past few weeks I've had the privilege of interacting with this very interesting person. Its been a great experience intellectually, philosophically and personally.

Its interesting how in a conversation he could completely rip my life apart, but then in the next instant help me realize how through my past experiences they piece together to form this amazing masterpiece of my "past life". Its amazing how I could feel so much not in control but at the same time also in control in a conversation. Just interacting with this person involves a roller coaster of experiences {staying true to the title of my blog here...:P}.

I've read a ton of inspirational quotes to date. But the one that stands out is the monologue from the movie "Coach Carter" about being afraid of the light as opposed to the darkness. It forms one of my past blogposts'. So this friend shared his with me and after I read it, it seemed quite similar to the one I associated with.

Its from the series "Everwood" and this is how it goes:-

The more things change, the more they stay the same. I'm not sure who the first person was who said that. Probably Shakespeare. Or maybe Sting. But at the moment, it's the sentence that best explains my tragic flaw, my inability to change. I don't think I'm alone in this. The more I get to know other people, the more I realize it's kind of everyone's flaw. Staying exactly the same for as long as possible, standing perfectly still... It feels safer somehow. And if you are suffering, at least the pain is familiar. Because if you took that leap of faith, went outside the box, did something unexpected... Who knows what other pain might be out there, waiting for you. Chances are it could be even worse. So you maintain the status quo. Choose the road already traveled and it doesn't seem that bad. Not as far as flaws go. You're not a drug addict. You're not killing anyone... Except maybe yourself a little. When we finally do change, I don't think it happens like an earthquake or an explosion, where all of a sudden we're like this different person. I think it's smaller than that. The kind of thing most people wouldn't even notice unless they looked at us really close. Which, thank God, they never do. But you notice it. Inside you that change feels like a world of difference. And you hope this is it. This is the person you get to be forever... that you'll never have to change again.

In conclusion, I now truly believe "..." --> please refer to my next blogpost titled "A Reason, a Season or a Lifetime"
