RelationshipsThe connection we have with life and all that life has to offer. We want peaceful and harmony in our relationships. This requires having a good attitude, going to great lengths and frequent forgiveness, principles which run counter to human nature. There is nothing worse than a relationship gone bad. Sometimes you just have to let go. Despite our best efforts, peace is not always possible. However, we can not compromise these principles. An attitude of "peace, no matter what" can affect who we become. When genuine feelings are repressed, resentment and hurt get buried, for the sake of pretending all is well. The result will be emotional turmoil or an explosive release of frustration. Neither are healthy. To live in peace and harmony, start your relationships that way and approach each situation open and honestly, so far as it depends upon you. People will respect you for being you. "Security in a relationship lies neither in looking back to what it was in nostalgia, nor forward to what it might be...but living in the present relationship and accepting it as it is now." -- Anne Morrow Lindbergh
