“The quality of our relationship with anyone necessarily affects the quality of our relationship with everyone else. True or false? And why?”
Perhaps, the quality of our relationship with ourself may also affect the quality of our relationship with everyone else. I was deep into an afternoon nap when the above thoughts seemed to drift – no, it wasn’t a drift. It was pushed into my mind. How is that possible when one is asleep, or at least was asleep before being awakened with thoughts too deep to deal with in a groggy state of mind?
How can anyone, half asleep ponder the implicatons of personal relationships having global (more or less) consequences? And, what if they do? What can I do about it?
But, perhaps if they do, then we need to be careful about being pulled into potentially stressful situations. On the other hand, we can be overly careful, and fear commiting to more than surface relationships.
Perhaps the middle way is to develop both strength and flexibility in our capacity for emotional and intellectual communication.
