There is some kind of evil principle in the world and also inside us that wants to pulls us apart from one another. It is active between mates, inside a group and between groups of people.

Today I reminded myself of this: we have to appreciate our relationships and the time and experiences that we have shared together. Having spent 5 or 10 years together is valuable. Every shared thought or event is like an investment, a deposit in a bank. It should not easily be thrown away.

I think we have to move towards one another. Because there is a force that wants to pull us apart, we have to be active and apply some force in the opposite direction. How do we move towards each other? We can do it by small choices every day or every time we meet, by reacting positive instead of negative, by encouraging instead of criticising, by trying to understand the other persons thoughts and feelings. Parents can put themselves in the teenagers shoes and husbands can study their wives world.

Love gives a new chance, again and again. Let’s put some energy in it. Let’s invest in our relationships. The investment will return to us. An old saying states: “Cast your bread over the water and it will came back to you”.
