To Kill a Mocking Bird

How easy is it to remove a person from one's life?

And how easy is it to be at the receiving end of such a thing inflicted on you by somebody else??

Yes, thats exactly what I wanna ask at this moment...How "easy" is it? As in, do you have any tips and tricks oh marauding reader? Take off that mask and speak from your heart...And also go ahead and assume the importance of the person, with some caution, in one's life...

Mind you, while you're at it, you'll have to deal with stupid, complex emotions like nostalgia, unfairness, a sense of loss etc etc. But somehow, the brain manages to delude itself into forgetting that the reason that u're pruning/being pruned off surpasses all others...its happening cos there's a reason right? And it wouldn't, unless the reason was strong enough...

Even if the reason is an emotional one...(Is 'an emotional reason' an oxymoron?? :chuckle )
Even if you've cared for that person genuinely, honestly...Even if you gave up somethings for that person's sake cos you cared and wished good things to happen for that person...
Even if you convinced yourself to ignore their follies, faults and deceit, cos you cared for your long term friendship more than those one time actions...

Thank you.
I'm much stronger now...

1. very few people i know can reason their emotions.
2. It isnt easy to cut someone off, or being cut off from someone's life abruptly. It isnt easy ONLY when its verbally expressed and agreed upon. Its perfectly 'Okay' (may not even be realised in most cases) if its not acknowledged/spoken about. Its Okay if its escaped/hidden or not brought up at all. Its Okay if its gradual. Its the best when it is gradual and not spoken about. but, well, u cud always find THAT perfect thing to be wrong too. cos its supposed to be open and honest and blah... and i am rambling.
i 'hate' them too! the ONLY kind i've ever hated.
Cheers!

It is easy when you stop caring about the person. Impossible otherwise.

I agree.
And to bring things into perspective removing those people from chat, orkut, facebook, address list wouldn't help either. Not pointing finger at anyone :-P
