RELATIONSHIPS!

Why do we strive to always find a balance in all our relationships. Why do we invariably feel bad about someone not giving back as much as we gave them. Resentment does tend to creep as we grow older about this measurement of give and take in every relationship. With siblings, with loved ones, with friends, with juniors at work, the list is endless. How many times have you caught yourself thinking " I am doing this for them but would they in turn do this for me...and if not, then why should I do this? We begin to see the selfishness in others and find ourselves wanting to check it...how?...by not giving...ourselves!

Having said this, I realise, that only those who are willing to let this unequal status of relationships be and are not bothered about it, are truly happy & at peace. They utilise the mind space which is free of such negative weeds, to sow flowers of glorious colours and fragrance, and reap benefits of a happy patch of colour in their garden. So we make choices! When in a happy mood I set aside such thoughts and exult in the beauty of my garden but when I am in a negative frame of mind I let the weeds take over and spoil my garden! I have a long way to go but the sunny realisation is there with me! I am happy!
