#relations

Some people view love and romance as a sacred bond between two individuals. Other people see love as a game, where the goal is to manipulate another individual and gain emotional power over a partner. People who view love as a game are much more likely to have multiple love interest; cheating is just another way to gain control over one's partner. ↗

One thing I've learned is that you can't want a relationship by yourself. A relationship, by definition, is an emotional or other connection between people-"between" being the operative word. That means, you can't be the only one wanting that relationship. If you continually find yourself in a place of being the only one actively participating and/or willing to fight for that relationship, maybe it's time to reexamine said relationship. Take care of your heart. ↗

Dear God, I don't know if you are a perfectionist or not, but there are certain things which are messed up since you have created this BIG Universe, n number of people, n^m number of relations between them(that too complex one) and all those things you know. There should be...I repeat...there should be some proper way to control our feelings. It will help me to LIVE. Sincerely yours creature, Ankur ↗

No. Ye loved him. I canna hold it against either of you that ye mourn him. And it gives me some comfort to know ..." He hesitated, and I reached up to smooth the rumpled hair off his face. "To know what?" "That should the need come, you might mourn for me that way," he said softly. ↗
