In the next couple of days, I will attempt to discuss on a very important topic that is under serious threat in our society today. Am glad to belong to this community trying to promote healthy relationship although we are miles apart.
RELATIONSHIP.
Healthy relationship brings healing to the body and soul of the people involved, its like a correct application of drugs to a particular ailment .
It is amazing that God who is invisible to human eye cherishes relationship and would do anything to nourish and protect it.
Loneliness on the other hand is a state of abandonment, rejection and frustration which often lead to death.
Going down the memory lane, one discovered that humans were more closely related many years ago than what we have with us now.
The design and pattern of buildings of old constitute a lot to deepen such relationship that existed then, where you have buildings in form of square with a large open space in between unlike what is prevalent today where it has become "to your tent, oh Israel" and a very high wall serving as fence. We literarily imprison ourselves within the four corners of our building. We have so much limited ourselves.
You may wish to ask me why have I taken it upon myself to go through this story, its because there are many elderly ones who are dying silently due to serious neglect from their loved ones who do not cherish relationship anymore.
Some parents long for intimate relationship from their children who had abandon them, they want to cuddle their grand children, they want to share memories with them but alas its just a mere dream.
Today my heart goes out to such ones.
Parents whose hearts have been broken because the children they laboured on while they were young have neglected them at such a crucial stage of their life, when comforts is all that they needed
I heard a young lad saying, I can not stand Daddy's excesses, It seems Mummy is not getting it. They have forgotten how Mummy patiently cared for you when you were young and naughty
I think relationship requires tolerance, patience, endurance etc for it to grow, so lets give it what it takes so we can enjoy one another.
I need you, you need me.
We indeed need one another.
Seeing you tomorrow for another dimension to our discourse
