Relations are sacred… Let us respect relationships
Good relations are beautiful feathers added to our life. They are like helping hands when we are in trouble. They knit a bonding among human beings. Still how relations work is a mystery. Similar interests, understanding, sacrifice are key for a sacred relationship like friendship.
It is also true that many times we fail to understand and value a relationship, which is apart from the family relations. Many of us are still not ready to agree that a teenage boy and girl, a man and woman can be true friends or they can be like brother and sister. The question is why the society is like this?
Yes, there are indeed many wrong relationships in our surroundings that end up in disaster. But, all relationships between a boy and girl don’t end up with affairs!
We cannot define a relationship by what you see and judge upon it. We want ‘society’ to change its mentality. Let’s start that change from ourselves.
Let us start thinking positively regarding the relations. Let us not enjoy spreading rumours. Let us try to understand and value the beauty of relationships. In the world of fakeness, cruelty, cheating, if there are good relations let us respect and appreciate them. They help us to share our pain or happiness.

There are no “real” relations in life apart from the blood relations. Everything else is a social construct powered by the illusion a few body-chemicals create in the mind. From evolution standpoint men are pigs and women are weak, so in order to tame the former and protect the latter, the institution of marriage was created by the society. As a precursor to marriage, society felt it convenient to allow a phase called “relationship”. Do not read too much into it more than what it truly is. All this soulmate, lover etc. is absolute bull. If love truly existed people would never fight after they got married.
Existentially speaking, marriage and relationships are a meaningless fad. All that the existence/nature cares about is the continuation of the species and for that it creates attraction between the 2 genders. The process of reproduction is as ugly as sin but this attraction that the nature creates between opposite sexes transcends all of that. The nature (i.e. the unconscious mind) is stronger manifolds compared to our conscious mind and hence we succumb to our bodily urges. All nature cares about is the meeting of the seed with the ovum. And that meeting is what ultimately matters to the nature. Everything else, as I said, is a social drama. If physical beauty really mattered, women wouldn’t begin to lose their physical charm as they grew old. There was no make up necessary. The point is, the external beauty in a woman was conferred by nature only with the purpose of attracting the male for the sake of reproduction. There is no other reason. Unfortunately some people have monetised their beauty to become models and are seeking attention from the public.
I would go one step further and claim that even blood relations are meaningless. Blood relations are only a consequence/side-effect connected with the implementation detail of your coming into existence. We all had to “arrive” but we couldn’t magically appear out of nowhere, therefore nature chose 2 individuals to come together so you could manifest.
Moral of the story is you are on your own, you have come for a reason and you have to pursue your own destiny in this world. You may cherish the relationships you will find around you but never get attached to them because detachment causes misery.
Have a lovely weekend.
