Facts of life which I learnt in my 72 yrs experience Any RELATIONSHIP is possible only when two egos are dropped. Otherwise four persons are involved – Two real & Two imaginary So, Let Go of you Ego …. Whenever you are wrong – Admit it and whenever you are right – Keep Quiet. This will surely keep the relationships strong. And like needles of a clock, strong relationships always remain connected even when they meet on few occasions. Dont understand with some we become close very fast but with some even after ages we cant be close Children and elders need our valuable time , children till the age of 5 years and elders after sixty. When children grow up they dont need so much and especially now a days children grow fast and they teach us better than what we learnt from our experience. Elders need us more when they become old and we should spend valuable time with them when they are there so that we dont repent later when they are not there Someone said in a discourse that since parents leave their children in creshe when they are kids so when the parents grow old kids leave them in old age homes Life is the most difficult exam . Many people fail because they try to copy others,Not realizing that everyone has a different question paper .
Dear @iyerviji, A nicely written post about relationships. handling a child is much easier than handling an elderly person. A child doesn’t have ego and even if we chide them, they forget it in a few minutes and become normal. But the elderly people have strong egos and we have to handle them with kid gloves. When we are young we have all the patience, but as we turn older we loose the patience and have to face difficult situations while dealing with all kinds of people. Agatha83
