It is never an easy task to manage and maintain relationships that matter to us, one has to work at it and also compromise to a certain extent !As long as we are alive and living we have certain responsibilities that we have to shoulder, and managing and maintaining inter personal relationships is one such important aspect of life !Even if you don't care for relationships, you acquire them when you are born into this world. You are a son, daughter ,brother, sister ,cousin etc etc...and keep acquiring more as you go along in life
This is something that needs to be cultivated..

Oh God! I don't understand why people make relationships burden on their shoulders. Just relax. Take it easy. Love your dear ones and complete your responsibilities. It is our duty to do so. When we brush our teeth or eat our food or watch movies,etc., we don't feel bothered with these works. Why do you feel burden of relationships and responsibilities?
I have realised one thing about people, the more you try to be compromising and accommodating the more you are taken advantage of.I feel that it is better to stick to your principles without hurting or harming anyone , but being firm has its advantages...
They would not only consider you weak but incompetent. The times have changed, I know with my own experiences.
Very true sunil,most people dont think beyond themselves and their families .I have seen with my own close relatives .Another point is that the more you ignore and try to keep aloof the more you are in demand :P
That is the reason I never give up easily, I simply go to the point where I feel my point is true and worthy. Although I never fail to accept my fault, if so.
All said and done, it is one of the most difficult tasks in the world.You can afford to ignore some, but you cannot do that with people who matter and even there you have to really do a tight rope act ! The larger the family the more difficult it becomes :huh: :unsure:

Yes that could be one of the factors. In fact I had never been with my whole family so know very little about maintaining such relations. Meeting once in a while does not make relations bad unless serious differences I guess.
I have just responded to another thread where i said maintaining relations is not that difficult provided the money part is not involved too much. That is mother of all evil.
This is fact when money gets involved in the relationship it spoils relationship that's why never try to borrow or lend money to friends or relatives. :)

I know this fact very well and that's why our friendship is going on for so long, otherwise you would have refused to know me. But on a serious note if you want to breakup with a friend ask him for money or any other valuable.
usha ji, I mean managing and maintaining relation ship means we just manage for name sake but nothing from our heart.
I feel a relation should be maintained from the heart. so managing is far different from maintaining
Manage can mean a lot of things including - to continue to get along, to succeed in accomplishing or achieving, to direct the affiars and interests ...Some relationships have to be maintained since they are very close and dear to us whereas others we have to manage to maintain since they may not be the ones that are close to heart but at the same time important enough to be maintained.This requires a bit of managing ... :huh:

To maintain is to keep them going at any cost and to manage relations means we have to make efforts to look them going even if one is not willing to maintain them. :laugh: :laugh:
