Taking cue from the recent unfortunate experiences by some fellow bloggers and a quote thereafter by blogger Leonardo ...... "Is like breaking up the new trend now".
Here's my 2-cents view on the subject of the grief of seperation:
~That is not to say that grief is bad. But it is helpful to recognize that often, attachment is the source of depression. When our identity is too mixed-in with that of another person, we become depressed when we seperate. When we refuse to believe impermanence to every phenomena and refuse to accept that life is transient, we ultimately set ourselves up to pain.
Some people think that life is like a test; that we are born into a particular situation to learn specific things. This view implies that , in the broader view of our spiritual being, there is a hidden path or agenda, that someone or something else decides what we need to learn and experience. The hidden hand, that's how we often hear or address it.
This isn't the case, not from the Buddhist viewpoint, that is. We are born into a certain body, a temporary capsule, and circumstances because of causes having been created before and conditions coming together (otherwise known as "The Law of Karma"). There are no pre-planned lessons for us to learn in our lives. Whether we learn from our experiences is up to us. It is how we choose to live our lives ..... no more, no less!!!
What's your view?????????

my view is that we can;t defeat karma although there is a certain 'boundaries' between which we can act to change our fates...but it still ultimately will point straight to the karma
The degree of loss felt or depression or emptiness felt during separation depends on how much value we place on the person .... how much we have allowed ourselves to be vulnerable. Have much have we decided that we can't live without such a person? That we can't bear with the separation? We all have the need to be loved and to be loved or else we will be incomplete ... there is a void that needs to be filled. No man was meant to be an island. We are always looking for someone/something to fill us.... to make us feel wanted and that we belong ... that we matter ... we all go into a relationship with different intentions ... who can say that we truly know someone in and out ?
Humans are finite beings ... we keep changing day by day. Sometimes we feel down, sometimes we up ..... and if we allow our feelings to dictate how we feel, we will be on a rollercoaster ride. I believe very strongly that love is a commitment between 2 person ... it a commitment to be there for one another when the feeling is gone.... a choice we make. And in a relationship it takes 2 to tango.
Life is a journey, a test, etc ... anyway you choose to see it ... but one thing I know is that we are resilient beings and we somehow learn to cope and we learn to adapt and move on with life. Either way you see it, life is meant to be lived to the fullest. When we finally open our eyes, we realized that there are others who do care for us and who had gone through the same journey ... you are not alone. Either it will make you wiser or it will become demons to haunt you the rest of your rest and hold you captive.
Oppss such a long comment ... I actually slept over it before I decided to leave a comment.
Cheers bro and thanks for sharing
Anton - You got a nice word "Temporary Capsule" to refer to the fellow humans. I often use the word "Mobile Phones" as our human body which can send & receive text sms. All our activities will be itemised in the bills at the end of the month by the Hell Officer.
Bengbeng - Anyone can overturn their karma and erase it, if they know how to. That is just like using a broom or vacuum cleaner to clear our rubbish inside out.
Thanks guys for your views. This post wuz meant to get viewpoints from bloggers of all faiths, so we cld learn and better understand one another. ^_^

Yes, we can defeat karma. Past, Present and Future karma. Can’t change Past but can definitely alter Future by changing Present Karma. We are our own destiny, we decide our own path.
Yes, Anton you are right, its how we choose to live.
Love and separation? Hmm…. touchy and sensitive subject... better not to comment here :-)
