Relationships

There are times when I wonder what this is all about? I live through like most others in a marraige with a lot of strife and pain and at the same time great pleasure.. I suppose relationships are what they are when you live both parts - pleasure and pain in equal measure.

Understanding is where it comes down to and fails, inevitably. Egos and personalities come into play and we allow our basic instincts of self preservation and self agrandisement overcome our need to be calm, rational and sensitive to the partner's need when getting into situations of strife..leading to each saying bitter words which is never meant nor realised..

But, afterwards it is too late to take the words back.. It is no wonder the wise have stated that words and action once released are never recalled..Think before you say something and do something..

Wish I have learnt and applied it many a times in my life. But, I do have the courage to stand in the stage of life to acknowledge this failing of mine. Pray a lot more come forward with similar views..

When and where applicable, I have said sorry and will repeat the same. But, there are times when, magnanimity should be reciprocated and pray that happens in life..

Relationships are essential to live healthily and a good one is always a stress burster and not a stress builder..
