The path to Tranquility (spring)
22. Emotional relationships are like flowers
Emotional relationships are fascinating because, like flowers, they emit fragrance. Likewise, emotional relationships need to be nurtured. Maintaining an emotional relationship requires care, understanding, and help, just like flowers need sunlight, rain, dew, and nutrients.
Flowers are fragile and will not be as strong as diamonds. It is still blooming in the morning, but may wilt or die by evening. Wind and rain can also damage it. Therefore, both parties in the emotional relationship are very sensitive and need to give each other a lot of care. If one partner feels hurt, the emotional window closes. When the other party is left out, their feelings will also become negative and it is easy to fall into a vicious cycle. Once this happens, the two will go further and further apart, eventually breaking up and accusing each other of betraying their original intentions.
The reason emotional relationships fail is due to lack of communication and understanding, which is ignorance. In fact, both sides have violated the original intention of establishing friendly relations. If the communication channels are blocked by a stubborn ego, then the relationship will not have a good foundation from the beginning and is destined not to last. Without communication, all interactions will be based on imagination. Once we imagine the other person as a devil due to conflict, our relationship will regress and it will be difficult to regain the feeling of the first meeting.
However, many times, the beauty of the first meeting is just an illusion. Both parties wear masks and only think about getting happiness or benefits from the other party, without thinking about how to make the relationship last. This first meeting was not with the original intention of love, so it became the source of pain in the future.
We can only have a truly beautiful and strong relationship if we love each other. Because loving each other is not only an emotional need, but also a rational behavior with rich consciousness. When relationships are built intentionally, we not only spend quality time together, but we also think about how to move the relationship forward. We will become more creative and make each other's lives healthier and happier.
A relationship full of love greatly reduces the fragility of emotional relationships and allows us to take a big step forward in the emotional world. Through mutual cultivation, the love relationship is like a crystallization process, gradually becoming complete and strong. Therefore, by establishing a relationship of mutual love, our lives will have a stable foundation of happiness.
