Some people...

What is life? Different people may answer this question in different ways depending on their beliefs. Some would say that life is a journey of religion, while others would call it a void in time. But i believe life is all about experiences. You mature in time with all the lessons learned as you excel at some points and make mistakes at others. And experiences always involve people. But not all people affect you in the same way, some may help you through to the right path, while others may leave a negative mark on you. So I categorized the types of people you come across;



Some people are there for life. You cant ever forget them no matter where in the world you are or however busy your life maybe. You may have met them very early in life, as a child, or later sometime. The fact that you may remember them maybe because you have a spent a good part of life living with them, or being close to them. Like childhood friends, parents and relatives. They usually dont ever influence you in a prominant kind of way. But you can always turn to them in times of need.


Some people walk in your life for a short period, and leave just as suddenly as they appeared. But they have a more lasting effect on you. They leave vivid memories, and strong influences. It maybe only a sentence they may have said nonchantly, or an advice given wisely. But it seems to pop up at the right times. They can be anyone. A person sitting next to you on a long flight, or a long-lost friend at lunch. It could be a random person you met in an online chat room, or a person on the road. What they say or do, may completely alter your way of thinking, and what you believe in. And you wish you would have known that person longer.


Some people dont even know you exist, and you still learn something from them. They can be part of a true story told by a friend, or a person you see at a carnival. Actions are better than words. And their actions may have affected you in a good or bad way.


Some people are also known as role models. Humans you look upto. Every person needs someone they have to have as a manual. When you're at a point in life where its impossible to step further, the person you look upto always helps you through. Even if its just a thought of that person in the situtaion, or the urge to be like him/her.


They say a soul becomes wiser with time. Its the eyes that interprets everything as right or wrong. And your heart senses if what you found is what you need. People are just means of finding your own self. So never regret meeting someone. or dwell over the question 'why me?'. Because you never know how far they may take you.
