HUMAN RELATIONSHIPS

Human relationships is a complex subject in which many parameters are involved. A human being is actually a very complex entity.Human psychology and perception is also subject to changes. Aristotle has said years ago that man is a social animal. Human beings live in a society and hence all are mutually dependent on one another in some way. So it is not possible to avoid relationships and it is also necessary to have a mutually beneficial relationship with fellow human beings in the society. Unfortunately it is not possible to maintain such good relationship with everyone because of the inherent human qualities such as animosity, jealousy, hatred, racism, communalism etc. Even among family and friends hatred, jealousy, bullying and ego clashes are quite common in today's world. One of the main causes of disputes is greed for material wealth. Generally people who are honest, kind and considerate towards others will be able to maintain good relationships. In practical life it is actually difficult even for a good person to maintain an amicable relationship with everyone because other people may have some animosity, jealousy, hatred or greed. It is a well-known fact that this is not an ideal world. You cannot expect a dog to not bite you because you do not bite a dog. Some people will always be unpleasant, unkind and spiteful even if you are good to them because it is their inherent nature and it is not possible to maintain a good relationship with them at all. Such people are always nasty because of the underlying tendencies such as jealousy, racism or communalism. Even in matrimonial relationships there is much discord nowadays and many marriages end up in divorce. In some matrimonial relationships or even in friendships both parties may be good people but still they have conflict and they eventually part ways because there is no mental compatibility between them and they are not like-minded. It is futile to try to maintain a good relationship with a nasty person and it would be same as trying to straighten a dog's tail. Hence the only strategy for having good friendships, relationships and partnerships is to choose the right people carefully. It is good to choose friends or partners who are unselfish, gentle, kind and honest because friendships with such people will be pleasant and beneficial. It is also necessary to choose friends or acquaintances who have something in common. Usually relationships between like-minded people with common goals or hobbies will only be long-lasting and mutually beneficial. God bless!
