Moved On!

I've heard these words a little more often than I should probably have. This doesn't imply the randomness of my thoughts or of the people in my life. It's just an idea about something that is so unfathomable to me and I have never understood its real meaning.

What does it actually mean? I wonder it's some cryptic way to suggest, "I'm selfish and you take care now...you're on your own". It may sound brutal at once but honestly, there's nothing bad in being a little selfish. I mean, afterall we all seek to attain that inner happiness and sense of satisfaction. Life's a quest for pleasure. Who cares if attainment of those highly publicised possessions does not come as a not-so-amicable way for some people! Besides, who decides good or bad, selfish or unselfish, right or wrong. I tell you, it's all relative. We can't convert it into some science, like Mr Einstein did. Or could be so, some wacko may get it in a few years from now!

I felt this phrase of "I've moved on" to be a symbolism of self-centredness because of a couple of logic. Think about the people who have used this. They are mostly the "stronger" one in some way than the other. Or at least, they are the "leavers" and not the "leavees" (yeah, I guess, I coined this term, leavee). Such people, usually find another motif intriguing enough to neglect or forget their constants-at-a-point-of-time.

But a realization of this nature is like a bubble and it bursts sooner or later. And this phase of "moved on" ultimately sees the light of the day. OK, this may sound a little complicated...Sometimes, a person who has moved on does try to trace the path back, without any expectation to start over or something. I think, it's just a recall and a way to satiate the inquisitiveness within oneself...a desire to find out how the other person has been. However, this traceability could be largely erratic and untimely. Mostly, triggered by some event or just the result of exceeding a threshold of some moroning pile.

The interesting part of this whole episode is when both the persons have eventually "moved on". That, my friend, is probably the most ideal situation. And I don't know how but by some magical or supernatural way, both those people know about it. This knowledge of the occult is applicable even when one has moved on while the other has not. So, the bottom line is, both the people know what plane each of them is at. This degree of this mutual cognizance decides the course of future or the traceability factor.

Another possible reason behind throwing around the "moved on" phrase could be some sense of guilt and the cowardice for its acceptance. So regardless of that knowledge I spoke about earlier, a prick of this innate guilt would persuade somebody to unravel. At this stage, the traceability occurs in the form of some genuine concern for the well-being. Again, the timeline for this to happen can't be defined but I think, it definitely shows the maturity of thoughts.

Beyond its meaning, lies the fact of a point of no return for the person who used it. Honestly, you can't make someone to go back from this point to where you had once started. To try for it, is just a naive thought and meets with disappointment. This is the time to accept that it's done forever and you can't roll back the time or bring back the person into the same state of mind. If you can, wait for some traceability to happen or better still, just "move on". Really, it doesn't matter what it means but do it!
