The Presence of Love Implicates the Suffering of Man

The Bond of a Relationship – I’m 19, I know that I have many things in life that I have yet to experience as a human being. One thing on the other hand has stuck with me since the age of seventeen. That one thing was a special bond that I had with a girl I thought I was in love with. The feelings were mutual for a time, but not long lasting. Nights of holding each other in our arms and peacefully falling asleep, holding hands walking down the school hallways, and being there for one another when problems came our way. It was a bond of trust, safety, affection, and dedication to one another. These bonds on the other hand can be temporary which is why human beings tend to cling to those emotional bonds. It makes you feel alive, it makes you happy, it fills your inner being with a sense of accomplishment and matter. Your partner through that bond allows you to make you feel like you just like anyone else in this world matters, you have a place by their side and nothing will change it. And because these bonds can be temporary that people tend to act indifferent to who they are in order to make sure that bond stays as it should.

The Sacrifices of a Relationship – Because people tend to think about the bonds of the relationship and how special they are, they begin making sacrifices for one another in order to keep that bond. Fear of you and your partner growing apart? You start blocking yourself from other important people in your life in order to try and make more time for your partner. Your employer gives you a promotion but it’s half way across the country and your partner doesn’t want to leave what they have behind? Sure let’s just toss aside a great opportunity to make sure you’re still with the one that makes you happy inside, but for how long? Your partner doesn’t like the friends you’re with so what do you do? You make them understand that there is no one else for you, and that it’s the end of a ten year friendship so you can be happy and feel like you matter. I don’t know about you but some sacrifices aren’t worth that feeling but people still take the risks in order to hope that their bonds still stay strong for a little while longer. I’d rather be me, and sacrifice for what really matters. If that bond is to truly stay cemented in time then no matter what happens and no matter what faults lay in front of your relationship the bond will not break.
