There’s no end to learning from life at every stage. Man being primarily a social being we have to always work on interpersonal relationships to feel peaceful and socially secure.
The moment the balance between expectations and realisation is disturbed we start feeling stressed. This is absolutely true and how it should be. However there’s one observation that in situations of turbulence it’s the mutual responsibility of each person to work on it. If someone does not respond as desired is it by choice or under pressure of other situations? Not every person can always control their tranquility or inner sanity at all times. Some moments call for understanding ,retrospection and introspection into our own role in the dynamics of the resultant distress.
Whenever near and dear ones are concerned we are sometimes blinded with a huge sense of belonging that no law of reasoning can pull our reigns down.
The fact that we love someone so dearly makes us believe that the other person should reciprocate at the exact same frequency.
My perception is perhaps that’s where we sometimes go wrong in our judgement.
Every person is different. The day we start respecting each other together with the huge love and care we hold in our hearts for them perhaps the music of life starts to play more smoothly.
Primarily one should learn to be peaceful inside oneself. The key to inner peace should not be dependent on external factors as far as possible. To master inner tranquility is of course a lifetime pursuit.
Once we are peaceful inside, the outer environment becomes easier to handle.
However, it’s each person’s huge responsibility to understand the expectations, limitations and mutual contribution to try to hold on in times of happiness and crisis.
Nobody can be happy alone. It’s hence perfectly normal to want our near and dear ones in moments of need. The response of a person in the other’s need is what makes things fall into place.
Once we start to count of the good memories of any relation perhaps the pain of any present situation can feel lighter.
All said and done, it’s each of our duty to value every social responsibility we bear towards each other and consciously make living stress free and happy.
