Relationship: When it is an rotten apple

I have a friend who felt unbalanced when he saw his friends or relatives being close to their dad and he just could not do so. Obviously, he felt lonely, right? That is my point in this blog: What do we do when a relationship turned sour?

I would not say that "Well, it is your fault that your relationship with him/her is so bitter". Just like in the world, there are a diversity of race, nation, opinions, hobbies, cultures and all. These insignificant things, in my opinion, is the trigger to a bad relationship. Why do I say so? There is a saying that goes, birds of a feather fly together. How true. People seemed to be drawn towards people that are similar to them in some way or another: by their hobbies, thinking, race and all. Therefore, what will happened when two mind are diverged? Well, they will tend to disagree, fight and it turned a relationship sour.

But, in order to compromise others' thinking to our own just to save a relationship is thoroughly foolish. I, for one, believed in self expression. If one is struggling to compromise the other, saying that, "Yes, I agree with you completely" but deep inside your heart you are actually screaming in agony, what is the point then?

In order to resolve this unpleasant feeling that gnawed at you, perhaps one can apply the "I agree to not disagree" policy. Then, you would not be stubborn and listen to the other side of the story, not being prejudice and well, you might save the relationship as well... Good luck!!!
