Together

Walking is a popular choice to stay fit and healthy. Some prefer the morning time while others drawn out in the evening. Some prefer the immediate vicinity while others go out to an organised track or route. Some prefer to do it alone while most prefer company.

It is interesting to note how individuals combine. Some come with their partner, some with friends, some with relatives and some with neighbours… they come in twos, three or more… some belong to a similar age group and others are divided by a generation…  

Some walk together. Some come and leave together, while not necessarily being together. Some chat while others don’t talk much. But all types fall in the category of being together and that is a wonderful commitment that builds a beautiful bond.

Doing things together does not mean that all have to do the same thing. It is about being ready to be together even when doing different things or doing things differently. A group could spend time together over a meal with each eating different stuff as per their preference or belief including not eating at all.

Being together means committing to spending time together and more importantly be ready to accept that the other need not do the same thing as you. We are different personalities with diverse capacities, dissimilar interests and varied approaches to the same thing. Yet, we can be together!

Each may do your own thing, without fetter

Being together is what makes bonds better!
