Life, relationships

It got me thinking... what is the value of life?
Family, love ones, friends, work, money, food, fun, happiness, contentment, responsibilities, etc... pple would surely in one way or another associate value of life with these terms...

What say me? Good question.

To me, true value of life is to establish, maintain and strengthen treasured relationships with pple. Pple that matters to me. Pple that I love. These are relationships which I would do what I can to ensure that they do not fade into oblivion.

Do I expect these pple that I cherished to treasure the relationships I have with them as much as I do? Nope.

When you wish someone well, treat someone well, show concerns and care to the someone, the actions have to be from the bottom of your heart in order for it to be valuable, sincere and worthy. Else it would be no different from being in a buy-sell transaction.

Different pple have different expectations, different things matter to different pple. As such, different relationships would matter to different pple. What's impt is to know who you really care and which relationship(s) matter. Ask yourself. Self-reflect. Take a step back and reflect on who are the ones who make a difference to your life, who has been that 'key' person(s) that you can never do without. Who have been the one there for you during your bad times. Who has always been there for you. Or simply, who matters to you? Be nice to pple who love you is easy, but what brings much satisfaction to me would be to brighten the moment/day of the pple that I love/care with my action(s). Saying is easy, but action always speaks louder than words.

It's easy to take certain pple for granted just becoz you know that they will never fail to stand by your side and as a results, pple would tend to focus more on relationships that they hope to establish and build. It is not wrong! But you muz never forget and neglect these 'key' pple! Taking pple for granted, to me, is a no-no. Becoz it takes efforts and time to build and bring a relationship to a particular level.

All it takes to destroy a relationship is just simply- Neglect and Insensitivity.
