subject: Family Relationships: How much fake and how much real? [print this page] Relationship is the word which stands for being trusted, cared, and above all loved. The relationship may be of family or friends but the important aspect is trust for each other. The moment trust is gone, relationships loose their meaning and relevance. Mother has been the central element of family and rightly so because it is her unselfish love, affection and sacrifice which keeps the family together and happpily united. The key to happy family and healthy relationships are:
love, respect and trust for each other.
Money and wealth are the great dividers, so being transparent in such matters.
Avoiding playing family politics for personal gains.
Being self dependent and self reliant.
Respecting the rights of other family members and behaving accordingly.
Families makes community, communities make cities, cities make states, states makes nation so the basic building block of any nation is the families with their values and ethics. A child inherits values, ethics and culture from family, which play important role in his or her personality formation. The values of love, affection, caring, sharing, respect for elders, trusting and being trusted can create healthy relationships and sound nation. The old saying ofunited we stand divided we fall also depends upon sharing of good values and ethics. But then times have changed and one needs to guard against betrayal. Trust, confidence, love and affection are the four pillars of home and sacrifice of personal gains for family is the roof which differentiates home from house. In the absence of trust, confidence, love, affection and willingness to sacrifice personal gains for family will have only house and not home. Family is the place where one looks for emotional and spiritual support. Let us create homes with the values and ethics of love, affection, caring, sharing, trust and unselfishness rather than houses. Houses can have value in money but the value of home is immesaurable. Lets us have more homes rather than houses.
