Man is a social animal. So relationships form an important and integral part of our lives. Everyman is like a spider, which is surrounded by a web of interconnected relationships.
Every relationship that we are born in or that are formed after our birth, brings with itself some duties, expectations and also problems. The biggest problem is perhaps that we cannot choose most of the relationships.
We are born into most of the relationships, such as our parents and the paternal relations. We do not have a chance to choose these relationships, whether we like it or not.
These relationships also bring a lot of expectations and duties with themselves. When we fail to keep up to the expectations of people such as our parents, uncles, aunties or grandparents, some major or minor problems; as the case may be; are bound to happen.
It is a very common problem that most parents want their child or children to become something that they want, or do something that they want. But they try to ignore, knowingly or unknowingly, the wishes of their children.
These leads to a lot of tension between the parents and the children, as the children cannot digest the undue pressure from the parents on things they don’t like and the parents are not happy with the ignorant behaviour of their children towards them.
Another very common problem that we come across is that of comparison. There are many families in which there are some cousin brothers and/or sisters who fall is the same age bracket. It is common occurrence that a sort of comparison goes on between them.
The comparison is done either by the brothers and sisters themselves or others in the family and the close neighbourhood. This comparison phenomenon damages and destroys the normal course of the relationships and may lead to a permanent relationship of enmity.
Friends and at times spouse is the only relationship we can choose. It depends up on our judgement and at times, our luck that we choose the right persons as our friends and spouse. If the choice is correct, then we will always have someone around us when the times are testing.
If our choice is wrong, then we will repent all through our life, as they will be a cause of constant trouble and unhappiness in our life.
It is said that marriages are made in heaven, but a wrong choice can make your life hell!!
So it is always better to give importance to all your relationships and solve problems as soon as they arise and not wait till they turn massive and dangerous.
