Relationships get better ..

by 김용년

Relationships get better when you take care of them.


Investing in human relationships also improves them.


People invest a lot of money and time to have an attractive body, a nice house, a luxury car, and a luxury bag. They even invest huge amounts of time and money to play golf well. But for a good relationship that is the source of happiness, we don't invest much. This is because it is not immediately visible to people and cannot be felt with their skin.


Even if people are struggling financially, if people show interest and recognize their value, that fact alone gives them hope and courage in life. However, no matter how economically wealthy a person is and has a good environment, if relationships with people around him become difficult, it is easy for that person's life to become painful and unhappy.


As much as we strive for material abundance, we must also strive for good relationships. A good relationship doesn't happen by itself without any effort. The basis of a relationship is to keep 'not too close, not too far'. It is like hedgehogs in winter when they are too close together they prick each other and get sick, and when they are too far apart they get cold. Even the best of friends can become uncomfortable if they stay too close to each other for too long. They must be spaced appropriately from each other. Even if it is a family member, a lover or a close friend, it is necessary to maintain appropriate psychological distance.


If you are going through a difficult moment in a relationship, you must first be humble. This is because, by and large, lowering oneself often solves problems. People hold their heads up to protect their pride and engage in confrontations. A problem that can be solved quickly by lowering one's posture a little, but because of such a quarrel, one wastes one's life suffering mentally and physically for a long time.


In order to create a good relationship, you must be good at 'Give and Take'. If you received help, you must return the favor. Human relationships are a series of give and take. People are beings who live by giving and receiving help from each other not only with material help, but also with words and actions. If you don't even get a thank you for helping, you will feel disappointed and your relationship may not deepen. Conversely, when the other person has helped you, and you feel that the other person is truly grateful for you, it is a person's mind that the other person wants to continue helping you. People build memories, build trust, and deepen bonds through exchange.


Each person has a different innate temperament and background. Living in a relationship with people with different values is not as easy as a complex function problem. So, just as you take care of your appearance, you have to invest time in your relationships, pay attention to them, and make efforts to take care of them.


You have to live in the attitude of learning, considering everyone who makes you difficult and painful as a teacher who teaches you. The person who makes you happy is your life textbook, and the person who makes you sad is also your life textbook. Just as you can study well only when you learn enough of the contents of the textbook, you must study the life textbook faithfully to develop wisdom about people and improve relationships.


Nothing comes for free in this world.
