the bicycle theory


In a bicycle front tire plays the guiding role while the rear one is the driving force. Both are necessary for its existence. More so is their adherence to their duty. Any one's failure means a catastrophe, or at least a meaningless existence.

Both are performing their individual duty with a unsaid trust over other's capability and commitment. One tire can be bigger than other but it never permits it of any lapse in its dharma. Egos do not expand proportionate to the size and status.

How beautifully the same theory applies to relations!!

Probably....

The Pedle is the one that drives a bi-cycle, so is in relation-ships..one cannot ride through a relationship on their own, both have to pedle in synchronisation, the moment one of the pair stops, the balance is disturbed...no matter how hard we try pedling one, unless the second pedle puts in effort too, we fall!!!

Hope it makes sense :)...
Good Post!

A Peddle.
I had him in mind too. But then he is not the lead character for me.
He probably is the unsaid faith that links the two.

Think of a slope where you don't really need to peddle it. Don't we get such phases in a relation also. Everything going just the right for you; the jigsaw pieces fitting automatically into picture. No peddle required then but the tires and their roles.

:) Thanks for the nice comment.

Think of an incline, where you need to pedle in, in relationships to move forward, you need to do the same, sometimes things may not be going just the right for you, that time to move forward you need to pedle together...story goes On :)

This Incline and the slope you mentiond are the same, just that there are two cases ...On incline im trying to move up after falling down from the slope, when thinks were just seeming right!

Cheers!

And if they both don't keep moving, they fall.

And when u apply brakes (for example rear one) the rear wheel tries to stop but the front one tries to pull it along. If they don't have proper coordination they slip.

There are so many similarities but if u start thinking this way u can find similarities among all things. But we generally ignore the dissimilarities. For example here in case of relationship the two souls involved should move together not one behind the other as it is in a bicycle.

P.S: The relationship of the tires of my scooter seems to be in some problem these days.

Amazing!!!

I have such a narrow vision. Each one has his/her own interpretation and amazingly they all are correct.

Story goes on...

Thanks a lot Shubhi and Mondy for the precious comments.
