The earlier parts of my life had some unnecessary struggles because I failed to understand the place of relationships in our daily living as humans. One important thing I realized is that to some people building and maintaining relationship comes so natural, while for others, alot of work has to be done. Maybe I fall into the second category, kind of self sufficient, preferring not to show a face even when I'm involved. But alot is changing really.
I believe that relationships are the most valuable thing in this life.
From my experiences, I think this is true as well
Self-sufficient is good, until it stops good relationships forming. We can all learn to live like hermits, but is it living?
