It amazes me to see so many misunderstanding,expectations and self beliefs leading to misery and unhappiness around us. Why is it so difficult for humans to understand that there is no free lunch in this world. U get what u sow. Often u get shit without even giving it. I have seen beautiful friendships breaking ,love relationships slipping into nothing ,just because the people involved take the others for granted..My writing today stems from watching three of my close associates going through a turbulent time because none of them will make a first move towards reconciliation. Agreed one of them must be at major fault but what use is it to the other two if they are also as miserables the first one.The question arises….How to sort this kind of situations? Well to my mind,ideal would be to let the situation cool down a bit and then approach the person and rationalise things in an amenable manner..Of course it is easier said than done but I honestly feel good relationships have to be worked on.U can’t take anyone for granted. U have to give in as much as u are willing to take from anyone.And valuable friends should not let egos or anger stand in the way .Being honest in a relationship of any sorts is of utmost importance.It is the honesty of one’s feelings which actually show ur ethics and values. Honesty may hurt at the time but ultimately it stands u in good stead.But most people, for short term ease neglect to be honest and thus cause hurt to others as well as themselves.And then one must learn to forgive and forget.Not easy again , but if one keeps the bad feelings and anger inside it corrodes ur insides till u are not left with anything to give.Life is too unpredictable to take anything for granted. The sooner one takes charge of one’s emotional quotient,the better it will be for one’s own as well as others happiness
