Relationships are based on one important bridge—the “Bridge of Understanding.”
This bridge is not as straight or wide as we may think. It’s a narrow bridge filled with pebbles, thorns, and breakages. Despite all these obstacles, only a few people manage to cross them, handle life’s situations, and maintain the relationship. What often interferes with understanding is the perspective of the two people involved in the relationship.
A point of view can never be the same for everyone—it differs from person to person.
In any relationship, no matter how old, there will be situations where understanding is tested by the challenges of life. At such times, each individual has their own perspective to analyze and resolve the situation. However, this solution may not be agreed upon or accepted by the other person in the relationship, which leads to misunderstandings.
So, what’s the solution to this?
Here’s a simple one from my own experience that I would like to share with my readers: Talk. Yes, talk about your intentions and your point of view—clearly and in detail. When a misunderstanding arises, it is of utmost importance to clear it from the root. Otherwise, it remains a knot in people’s minds, and that knot will only grow tighter in the future. So don’t allow any knot to break a precious bond.
Intentions will always differ from person to person. Age, gender, or religion do not matter here—what matters is humanity. In the name of humanity, we may sometimes act in ways that are not accepted or appreciated by everyone. What truly matters in life is experience.
The life experiences of individuals guide and influence how they act in similar situations. So, it is highly impossible to judge who is right and who is wrong, because both may have good intentions—their ways of resolving issues are simply shaped by their experiences.
So next time there is a difference of opinion between people in any relationship, just remember to explain your intentions and your side of the story behind taking such a bold decision.
That’s why they say: what you feed your mind becomes your thoughts, those thoughts become your actions, and actions become your lifestyle. So it is extremely important to filter your thoughts before letting them in. We never know which thoughts may give birth to which new challenge. Keep your thoughts and intentions pure. If you do this, no misunderstanding or turmoil will come between your beautiful relationships.
