Attrition? Not really.
Adaptability is a gradual process. We often tend to misunderstand the effect it has on various aspects of our lives. It is something which, though often thought about, doesn’t particularly affect us. That, however, doesn’t mean that we do not let it take control of our lives. We, in fact, ensure that it is one of the most factors when it comes to making decisions, decisions of all kinds. It somehow takes you back to a different era altogether, a time which you are either absolutely ignorant of, or one which you do not want to remember.
Over time one tends to observe things that other prudent people would consider highly irrelevant but you always have that strange gut instinct that there may be something that needs to be looked into. There may not be something very deep but you know that even this small observation makes a difference. This thought slowly eats into your mind and occupies it for quite a while. That, sadly, isn’t very comfortable. But then, you can’t help it, can you? You see, sometimes you can’t be expected to suspend your senses at most times.
When we tend to digress a bit from the usual course, adaptability ceases to be of importance, at least on the face of it. That is where something totally irrelevant plays a more major role. That thing is called solace. We try running after solace almost all the time – be it in lonely walks or in music, in sharing our insecurities or even writing down what we feel. Praise is something that doesn’t really matter. At the end of the day, it comes down to either decisiveness, or how receptive to co-operation you really are.
Getting stuck on too many details or fearing routines don’t really help. How complete can things really be? That is something which can possibly never be answered, for wishes can be taken away from you, time and again. Purity and freedom doesn’t have to matter all the time. Analysing this will take quite a while, but then, is it even worth the effort?
