Going with the flow

A friend of mine who was looking around for a gal to get married was so frustrated that he had gotten to think that there is something really wrong with him.He had not been able to hook up with a girl from 2 years and get a girl committed to the marriage . I was conversing with another friend about the complexity of marriage and its unpredictability.

He gave me a wonderful analogy and insights how thing work in life with an epiphany - Osmosis
Osmosis - Movement of water from one part of the membrane that has water to the part that has less and therefore it needs it thats how plants absorb water through their roots.the roots are more saline on the inside than the soil surrounding them two plants

Scenario 1 : Given two roots, one spot of the water - both roots at the same spot which one absorbs the water?
Ans: the one which is more saline...its need.... the one which needs it more gets it now

Scenario 2 : same two roots, same water spot... but now one root is closer than the other
Ans: one which is closer, which cared to act and grow towards the water gets its water

The catch is...
Life is like that if the root did not grow towards the water, It gets no water even if it did if something else needs it more it gets no water

Should it stop growing? no.... but should it always expect the water when it reaches there?
no ..... the one who needs it and the one who tries get it.... thats is natures law.... and that is gods law of determining results of actions,

Probably based on the need and Laws of Nature things are bound to work and we need to go with the flow unmasking our blind spots
