Ocean Of Perspectives

We encounter and interact with a wide range of people throughout our lives. Some we will only meet once, others will become casual acquaintances or friends. Then there are those with whom we will form close friendships, business partnerships or intimate love and marriage type relationships, (i.e. many live together without marriage). Close relationships can be difficult when communication, respect and honesty are impaired or absent. Sometimes we find ourselves repeating certain issues or situations in our relationships that we would rather not experience, such as people we trusted turning out to be deceitful, disloyal or betray us in some way. In such a case, reviewing the mechanics of current and past relationships might be appropriate. Maybe taking a look at how others might be interpreting and forming conclusions from our behavior or activities can give insight into why some people are attracted to us versus others. For example, an exotic dancer is often considered to be sexually promiscuous whether they really are or not. Also, people will judge someone by the people they associate with. I remember a situation I had where I worked a few years ago. A friend suggested that I apply for a job where she worked, which I did. After I was hired, I couldn’t understand why my coworkers were behaving the way they were towards me. Eventually I found out that she had a bad reputation at work and before my interview with the company, she had told everyone that I was just like her, which I wasn’t. I.e. I don’t flirt with coworkers, get intimately involved with them or talk with sexual innuendos. It took a long time for my coworkers to realize that I had different ethics and morals than my friend. So if you have a friend to whom other friends or family members are questioning your relationship with, it might be in your best interest to pay attention to what they are saying.

Keep your views about the people your involved with realistic. You might know that you are friends with someone because they make you laugh or so on. Just realize that others might come to a different conclusion, which can affect your image or reputation.

We create our own happiness or suffering. Therefore, we need to be aware and filter who we allow to get close to us. Unconditional love is the ideal we all should try to live. But, this doesn’t mean that we need to erase the boundaries of what we should tolerate regarding the people closet to us. After all, we don’t really want to be with someone who is abusive for example. Close relationships involve people who can affect our mind, body and soul if we are not careful. We need to remember to love and care for ourselves as much as we love and care for others. Healthy, caring relationships is what everyone desires. If you seem to attract people that cause you unhappiness, become aware as to why.
