What's worse...hollow or shallow? Shallow sounds still manageable...it's more like a beginning. You could graduate to 'deep'. Not necessarily, but there's still a chance! But hollow is something that's....something that hurts. Like, something that used to have substance starts hollowing out. Something that used to be good starts going bad from within.
I've been thinking of these two in terms of relationships. Lately, certain relations have turned out to be pretty shallow. That felt weird for a day. But i'm okay with it. It's a no-big-deal situation. Certain others seem to have become hollow. Not suddenly. Pretty gradual actually. But it's much much worse. Now that realization has finally dawned, it seems irreversible. I know it isn't. Maybe i can make things better. What if i don't want to?! What if 'making things okay' is just a pattern? What if it is like a temporary filling in the hollowness which eventually wears out...And makes the relationship worse? Like the way they fill up potholes on our roads?
I'd take shallow over hollow i think. What about you?

i think hollow is better....atleast then u wont stick around just for old times' sake. actually, u might take some time off, and theen after some time get back to a seemingly new person, and things get exciting again...
otherwise, neither is better
Cheers

i would take shallow over hollow too...its less painful to deal with.
lovely post...one of those which really makes you think :)
I still think..'rahiman dhaga prem ka mat todo chatkaya' toote fir na jude, jude gaanth padi jaye'
But then again, if u dont want to..then dont :)
true...though some 'dhagaas' r too precious to give up despite all the 'gaanths' ..or maybe the gaanths just add to its character? :)
