"Love is when someone hurts you.
And you get so mad but you don't yell at
them because you know it would hurt their
feelings."
The Fragility of Relationships
Relationships are not all plain sailing at all
times. Some relationships work, some don't. It is
uncommon to have love at first sight in our modern
society, although some couples really are together
because of love at first sight. For the rest of us,
a relationship requires work and nurturing. In other
words, we have to put in time and effort to make
relationships work. In addition, the emotional and
physical efforts put into a relationship also
contribute to a successful couplehood. It is
precisely the efforts and time put in that we
sometimes find it difficult to let go when a
relationship turns sour.
Letting go is perhaps the most difficult part of any
relationship - be it a happy one or one facing
difficulties. However, when a relationship turns
sour, when a couple no longer sees themselves as
having a future together, letting go is perhaps the
most sensible course of action. It is easier if you
were to treat it as a period of learning, tumbling
and falling until finally you learn to walk or run.
In this case, it is until you find the right person.
That the joy and happiness associated with having a
boyfriend or girlfriend can so easily give way to
sadness and unhappiness tells us precisely that a
relationship is fragile. Indeed, like life,
relationships are fragile. And, like a broken
mirror, a broken relationship is often difficult to
mend. If my friend, who was so set on taking this
girl as his wife and went out with her for a long 8
years can discover after 1 year together in a
foreign land that they are not meant to be,
relationships are indeed fragile.
Treasure your relationship, if you are in one now.
For, you will never know when the next storm will
come and break the tiny strands of bonding you have.
Fragile - Handle With Care.
