Relationship Series (Introduction)

Some years ago, I began to have some thoughts about life. Everyday, we come across people who put up false happiness. Everyone's trying to be truly happy, and everyone surely deserves that, because there's no life without happiness. But a lot of persons are much unhappy inside than they seem to be. Sometimes the pain they feel deep inside gets to a threshold, where they can't keep on putting up false happiness, and their true feelings are more often expressed. For a good number of persons, they redefine happiness, and their definition of happiness does not bring them true happiness, though it feels so at the beginning, but at the end, it only adds to the pain they already feel. At the same time, their search for happiness causes pains to others who are averagely happy or whose happiness is below average.

Relationships are part of life. Everything about life thrives on relationship. For every society to be progressive, there must be a greater part of the society with positive relationship values. And positive relationship values are built and developed individually and with the help of the family; the basic unit of relationships. I've met individuals with good heart, but portray actions that negate their real personality, or maybe their former personality. A lot of persons have defined happiness as their ability to put up defensive mechanisms against getting hurt, but unfortunately their definition includes getting other people hurt. At the end, they live a life of false happiness.

It may be impossible to completely get over false happiness because certain pains may not be easily gotten over, but one should recognize and accept the mistakes made, and ensure they get better.

In the next part, we'll discuss how the basic unit of relationship - the family, contributed in unsuccessful relationships. Let's learn and contribute as well. For readers who are not yet married, or who are just married, it should help in ensuring your kids don't go through failed relationships.
