A RELATION THAT MATTERS

A GOOD FRIEND PROVIDES SPACE.....................

           If we put this principle into practice we will never lose friends.  Providing space means gettign out of possessive nature.  It means allowing your friend to grow without tying him/her down.  You must try to avoid overly engaged and emotionally immature and needy friends.  If they don't know the meaning of giving another space, they might become a relentless heat wave.


          You might have heard people say, "We are very close", or "My presence is always appreciated".  Well, that's pretty good.  Butthere are times when we all need room to breathe.  "Without space our relationships wither-the consuming friend leaves us gasping for air, longing for a fresh breeze", opines Drs. Les & Leslie Parrott.  The friend who provides space allows one to have multifaceted relationships.  Another remarkable feature of the space-giving friend is that he/she will have a solemn respect for serenity.

          Sometimes you have seen people shouting at the peak of their voice "leave me alone".  These are the moments where you have to use your prudence and to leave the place as silent as possible.  A good friend will surely understand this and provide enough space for the person to be him/herself.  Remember, a good friend also knows when to return, when to break the silence and rejoin in your journey.  Learn to give space in friendship, you will be appreciated...................
