The art of relationships

It's funny how sometimes human beings can be very contradicting. When their loved ones are around, they tend to take them for granted. Sorry babe, they just don't seem to have all the time in the world for you. Otherwise, they'll do all sorts of things to get you back and patch the big hole which they have made.(it's actually to cover the big fat guilt they carry upon themselves). What use is it by then?

Creating time for a loved one need not be like dedication 24/7 to them. Taking the time and effort of even asking how they are or how have they been is good enough to show how much you care. People often repeat mistakes until and unless it hits them real hard. But by that time, everything is too late and nothing can be done. It is difficult to mend burst strings.

Relationships and friendships are alike to strings. When they are attached, we better take and make all effort to keep it attached because once it burst, things will never be the same again.
You may lose the friendship or relationship or you may just lose the person. Building all these "ships" takes a very long time. But you can destroy it within seconds with evil thoughts, wrong words and blunt actions. Every single relationship or friendship built is a gift of success for it takes a lot of effort in building one.

Therefore, while your heart still pumps blood into all your veins and your mind is at good health, treasure those around you. You never know how you might need their help someday. Never grieve people for what goes around comes around.
