Why do we have relationship concepts?
Hi,
I miss you.
I love you.
I care for you.
and so on…
Why are there concepts of relationships in our societies? No matter what kind of civilization it is, there is a concept of a giving name to the relationship between two people. Whether it’s a mother, father, brother, sister, uncle, aunt or friends, or any other relation we can think of.
What made us get into a whirlwind of relationships, and being attached to all of these. Whether these are the reasons for our happiness or sadness. Well, when they’re the reasons for our happiness, it’s all cool. But the moment these start making us sad, then tell me why it becomes so hard to let all of these go. What makes us stay even knowing they’re making us sad?
Few relationships are based on our birth on which we don’t have any control over (or we do have, and we don’t know that aspect of our lives). Many of us choose to call our few special friends, as part of our own family. Why? Why say that to the one who isn’t our family, I mean who is not related to our blood. What is so special about it? Why can’t a friend can be just a friend without being tagged as a family? Even these are the same people who don’t like their own family. Ever noticed that? Next time, if someone says that you’re like his/her family, then kindly look how they feel for their own family. You will know. I know I’m questioning every aspect of it.
I have a friend who is tired of her family and family drama, want to run away from the family, far away somewhere with all of us, her friends. And one time, she told me that we are like her family. I said to her that I don’t want to be her family, and I am happy to be a friend of her. I felt she didn’t like that. So, I explained to her that she want to run away from the family with friends. And I would love to be one of her friends than to be her family. Make sense? Yes, it does to me.
“You say you love rain, but you use an umbrella to walk under it. You say you love sun, but you seek shelter when it is shining. You say you love wind, but when it comes you close your windows. So that’s why I’m scared when you say you love me.”

I question myself, why are these relationships here among us?
And most of all, why do we have these relationship concepts?
I will continue it in the next several posts to explore this dimension of us, from within and without.
