Managing Relationship !!!

Everyone of us wants to talk about relationship and esp the problems which are failing, going nowhere or which are proving problematic !!!! Or may be relationships with our loved one, our friends ,sibling. These are the ones who are close to us and which can cause us much hurt if they go away.
Why are relationships so important to us and why are they the cause of so much heartburn, if things go wrong? It is because we are, as Aristotle defined us, Social Animals. Why do relationships sometimes go sour? There can be a million reasons but the bottomline always is when one feels that he or she has been taken advantage of or may be if one feels s/he is giving more than what one is receiving.
                  Ever noticed that when one is in love, one never counts the number of favours one has done for the other no of gifts, no of msgs, calls, kiss…..etc. its just as Parent never keeps list of the things s/he has done for the child. This is Unconditional Love.
Sadly, things do not last for too long. Just like The child grows up and sometimes we fall out of love. We start counting. And the result is noticeable cooling down in the Warmth between the people and breakdown. Then only one thing left in this circumstance is ‘MOVE ON !!!!
Always try to rely on patience in trying to understand your relationships and try to fit yourself in the other person’s shoes to understand the cause behind your changing attitudes and then rely on self-analysis. You will be surprised to discover that you are the unwitting cause of a breaking relationship. Perhaps you have been neglectful, perhaps you have been taking it for granted or may be its because of your ego.
Relationships are like living creatures since they concern living beings. That is why they need tender care to flourish.
