I read a beautiful and thoughtprovoking quote recently, ''Don't let someone become a priority in your life, when you are just an option in their life. Relationships are best when they are balanced.'' So beautifully written. I have read and reread it several times because this is a very common error we all make in our relationships and then get hurt. We invest so much of our time and a good portion of our lives to nurture relationships with family and friends. Later in life when we look back we realise that with most people it was just a one way street, we invested but they did not. ...
How many of us make an effort to revive friendships with family ? Friendships with family ? Yes !!!
We don't even consider family as friends ! Friends are the family we have can be reversed to say, family are the friends we have ! We take everyone in the family for granted right from immediate to cousins and feel that nurturing is not required . People who think like this are insensitive.
Give as much love as you can to your loved ones. It will never hurt anyone , it will improve relations.
Who doesn't like to feel important, but a majority of people are so scared to praise their family members....I wonder why ? Then there is this FB generation who are so fake in their emotional outbursts, their love knows no bounds but only on FB, to show the world.
Be genuine, respect each other, look at positives in each other, love unconditionally. Life will be so beautiful....just think, can I live without this person ? What if he/she is removed from my life, what will happen ? Do it before it's too late.....

It really is amazing how clearly you have figured out the foolishness, that is what I will name it, of people --ignoring and dumping their own. Only a few years ago joint family was the norm in India. And joint respect and care was the protocol.
ReplyDeleteIndividual selfishness is the misunderstood Individual ruggedness of the West. In the West Family is very strong and so is Individual. But , I think and I may be incorrect, that in copying and mimicking the West Indians have completely lost their soul and forgotten to look after--which is loving and respecting-- their own -- parents, nieces , nephews , brothers , sisters etc --India was the home of the HOME. And now India is the Home of NOBODIES !
Really enjoyed what you wrote--and your name too.
BAARISH --bringing beauty in every field.
