Emotional and physical abuses exist in many relationships. Co-dependency describes many relationships. Directing our focus inwardly to discover our self, instead of the outer ever changing life, is the only way to maintain healthy relationships. By continuing to develop our individual inner selves we are able to share our growing fullness with our spouse, children, friends and others.
Too often we are attracted to one another because we see a quality we believe we do not have. In reality we have all the human qualities within. We contain everything! If we are able to see a quality in another, we must have it within ourselves in order to recognize it. When the main focus in our lives is self discovery, then troubles that seemed like mountains are seen as molehills.
Relationships have not just to do with romance. Another area of relationships and social life relates to children and the elderly and how we think of them. All of us need to feel that our lives have a purpose. In older times, the elderly were respected for their life-experience and the younger generation approached them for their wisdom. Today anything old or slow is considered unwise and we place parents in nursing homes - having no time to care for them. People working in nursing homes report that one of the main issues with the elderly is depression, lack of social integration and life purpose. Depression and the use of drugs is also on the rise amongst the younger generation, for the same reasons. If we could see the need for the young and elderly to be fully integrated into society, our health, emotions and spirit would be beyond imagination .
