Today I experienced and learned that human relationships are very complex.  Philosophies that I write in here make a great read...but are very tough to practice.

I am also realizing the importance of communication and the difficulty in balancing people.

It is all about understanding their basic wants and needs.  It is about understanding their point of views. It is about empathizing with their state of mind, affairs and life.

It is about the ground work one requires to accomplish something with respect to their relationships. It is about timing, patience and an open mind. It is about flexibility.

To be torn in two or three parts between our favourite people is a very tough situation to be in. As always, condemning or retaliating is not the way.

Human relationships work only when we set aside our egos and go out of our way to address the complexities and ironies that co-exist.

I also learned that we cannot just be done away with a person in our life. Once there is a bond formed, the onus is upon us to keep it in tact and keep nourishing it with time, patience and love while supporting it with a tool called listening.

But that is the beauty of life.... to untangle a tricky situation.  Like I learned with my recent shoulder sprain, pinched nerves hurt like hell. It is to be undone in little miniature steps... neuron by neuron.

Personal relationships teach us about management. All sorts of them.
