Love and respect for the relationship shared with the other person or self-respect?
Losing self respect is losing a part of ur character, ur integrity. We can sacrifice anything but self-respect. Self-respect is a vital part of life,
But there are few circumstances where we are ready to even sacrifice self-respect – ready to lose the essence of life – because those people are our life ( more than our life rather). So sticking to our ego and holding onto our self-respect will not make any sense when it comes to people you love.
I always believe in making the first move and speak to the person even though it might make me lose my self-respect. I cross the barrier of ego and do everything to keep the relationship alive as I value relationships above all other things in life.
We all make mistakes, we all err. Few may be deliberate, few totally unintentional. If the mistake is from our side, learn and do not repeat, if it is from the other side, forgive, forget and help him not to do it again. Do not carry the burden – let everything dissolve.
Relationships are very sensitive. During the initial stages they need to be protected from all the odds and adversities. It spawns and ultimately grows into a tree. It will be so deeply rooted that it can withstand rain or sunshine.
Relationship starts as a fine, delicate thread – highly vulnerable. But slowly it turns into a strong rope and finally into an intangible chain which binds us all.
DO NOT STRANGLE A BEAUTIFUL RELATIONSHIP IN THE NAME OF EGO OR SELF-RESPECT
