Phantom Bonds

Science can explain how a glass filled with solid ice only can just dissolve into water when left out in the open. At the same time, that same glass of ice will remain in the same physical state when it is placed in a freezer. The outcomes in both scenarios are all dependent on one thing, the environment. Those fortunate enough to be bestowed with scientifically-inclined minds would know that this physical phenomena, the alteration of physical states between matter, is merely a change in molecular bonding because of the change in the surrounding temperature. This example is just based on a combination of basic fundamental science and applied common sense, and I emphasize BASIC here.

The truth is, human bonds, a much more COMPLEX entity altogether, is derived out of love for another human being. It is seemingly harder to grasp, and some say that it's hard to comprehend the full extent of what they call the greatest feeling of all. Yet at the same time, it's funny how relationships and friendships built over months and years can just change in a matter of days and weeks. In the blink of an eye, the human affection between two individuals can just change and disappear forever. In a heartbeat, all the sweet, uncountable memories shared between friends, lovers, and even family members, can be erased by the bitterness of frail and tense misunderstandings. When that happens, most people would 'suddenly' develop inflated egos and live in denial by saying that it wasn't their fault and that they did nothing to jeopardize the relationship or friendship.

However, if you were to experience the situation above, you should be asking yourself the following question instead, "Is this bond between you and this other person worth saving?"
