Treasure your relationships, not your possessions.
Anthony J. D'Angelo
Life is a balance sheet just like a balance sheet of a bank pass book or the profit and loss account of business organizations. We have analyze how much we owe to someone and how much others owe us. After analyzing the same we decide how valuable the business or the person is.
The most important aspect in inter personal relationship is taking stock of how much others have helped us and how much we have helped others. Suppose you give a debit point to your account every time you receive some help from someone and a credit point every time help someone. At the end of six months take how well the debit and the credit are balanced!
The problem in our life is we don't notice how valuable is the help we receive from others and may be over a period of time we take others for granted. We get disappointed when others do not help us, but how many times we thanked them when they did help?
You may get anything in life for money, but not true love and affection. True love and affection is a result of emotional relationship and not a contractual obligation.
Over this weekend, draw a balance sheet of the help you have been receiving from any one person and the help you have been offering to that person and notice what happens to your emotional bondage with reference to that person!
