No two individuals are same. We all have our drawbacks. We may get attracted to people we come across by the virtue of our similarities, but with the passage of time, as we become aware of the differences, we tend to loose interest and get distant. Relationships are not about the love, you had in the beginning, but how well you continue building it until the end.
Relationship is about accepting each other’s weirdness and flaws. It’s about seeing an imperfect person perfectly. It is about accepting each other’s past, supporting each other’s present and encouraging each other’s future. Those who understand this, have a stronger and healthier relationship, growing together, as “Strength lies in adversities, not when things are favourable”.
In any relationship, maintaining difference of opinion is a thing commendable, but not at the cost of respect you extend, to whom you differ with.
It is not our differences that divide us. It is our inability to recognize, accept and celebrate those differences. Relationships fail, because people stop putting the same effort to keep it, as they did to win it.
TRUE BOND IS NOT “IF” OR “BECAUSE” – IT IS “ANYWAY” AND “EVEN THOUGH” AND “IN SPITE OF”.
A GREAT RELATIONSHIP IS ABOUT TWO THINGS- FIRST, APPRECIATING THE SIMILARITIES, AND SECOND, RESPECTING THE DIFFERENCES.
