Building Relationships

People will always think of female-male, man-woman or boy-girl relationship when the word relationship is being mentioned. Ofcourse they are not exactly wrong, but how about other relationships? Where do I start? Let's see parent-kid relationship, relationships between friends - friendship, and even the relationship between seller and buyer.

We often take it for granted that we do not have to build relationship with our family - family is supposed to take all our shit, or when being with someone for long we take it for granted that our partners have to take in the shit we give them and expect them to keep quiet. Family members are usually more tolerant cuz they have gotten used to how we behave and vice versa. I do admit I have differences with my siblings duing to the big age gab, we sorted out our differences over the years as I mature. What I am trying to say is that, in this world we never stop building relationships, take for example for friendship, we friends stop communicating they drift apart, its almost impossible for two persons who have not been talking to each other for a long time to be as close as they used to before.

In relationships we often realised that we have to give and take. How much to give and how much to give? How do we measure this give and take business, or is it even measurable? How much is too much? Too often conflict arises when one party finds that the other party takes things for granted. How about looking at another perspective? When one party says that the other party has been taking things for granted is it really true? Different people have different standards of giving too much, one might think that even doing the dishes for someone else when it wasnt his turn is too much, other might think that its just nothing just a small favour u do for someone to be nice. Will the world be a better place if human were to be like robot and without emotions, this way nobody will get upset! Isn't this just GREAT?
