It is a fact that sustained relationships have an important ingredient: communication. If there is none or very little, distances grow by leaps and bounds, however well-meaning both sides are.
More or less, there is one person
in the relationship who often communicates less. It could be due to
preoccupations or just simple lack of initiative. Or then, some inner issues
like sensitivity or inferiority even.
I have learnt that nothing works
better than simple, direct and egoless communication.
Everyone struggles with something.
But humility goes a long way in ironing out issues which are almost always
small ones in the beginning.
This perception of “being better”
than someone else is an impediment in relationships. The truth is, in those
perspectives, there will always be some who are better off and some who are
not. But these are wrong perspectives.
Not riches, not talent, not any
worldly achievement can brand anyone as “better”. There are many spiritually
rich but low key people who silently live their lives and better themselves every
day.
So, where is the weighing scale?
And who decides? But if you communicate only will you establish a meeting point,
from wherever you are. Your values will determine your success.
