Now a days we want from relationship. We think that we should get love,respect from someone. Right from childhood we have learnt that getting things gives us happiness. And then we grow up still searching for someone who will give us something that we want.
But when we see the nature around us; from plants to trees and from rivers to sea; everything is giving. And we are part of that nature. So, even thought receiving things makes us happy; we find ourself more comfortable when we give it to some one.
We human beings have shifted from giving to taking by the course of time. And this is the cause of the conflicts today. For example, if we take husband -wife relationship now. Both goes to work, come back from work and both are tired. Husband says you give me respect, you try to understand me. While on the other hand wife wants the same things that the husband does. Thus, both want something from each other and no one wants to give. This leads to fights, arguments and conflicts. Then we don't want to be in that relationship as it is not giving what we wanted and we move out from it. We forget that it was never about what we want but what we give.
When you give, you also receive. There is no limit how much you can give, because receiving love is giving yourself love too and vice versa! :)
