"Life is give and take, we open up our heart and hold onto trust. If we don't give and take in our everyday life; then we have nothing to aspire for, give and take is a gift of life."
Life is always a give and take of all that goes on around us. This doesn't mean the materialistic things of life, but the non materialistic aspect of day to day living. It is an irony of life, we always feel that the grass is greener on the other side. This may be because we start comparing or the negative thinking that may have seeped in. Even life's compromises are based on a give and take. But there can never be any give and take on the fundamentals of life because any compromise on it is like surrendering to life, which is a concept of "all takes and no gives."
When we love unbiased, life bestows us with a goodness in nature. That doesn't mean a weakness of character, it is in real a strength of mind. But that always tends to be taken for granted. The compassion lets us go through life with a 'give and take' attitude, but never one that should be seen as one to play upon. Compassion, should be a priority shown first to the one you are living with because that is what it takes to make it go through life; with a complete understanding and also saving an awful lot of resentment towards life. That deep understanding is very much needed in day to day life. It is not love, if we do not know how to give and take in life.
Our daily life transactions become a big zero if we fail to lay stress upon a plus and a minus. Life actually ends the day we start comparing our life, happiness and satisfaction in real life. Before we compare and complain, it is good to introspect ourselves to analyse if we have given our hundred percent effort towards life.
Life is really very simple, if only we learn to strike the right note and a little "give and take" along. But a word of caution is, let it not be a tendency to become selfish. A real loving relationship of life's 'give and take', is one where there is no selfish motives. A thorough introspection of daily life, can make us find ways to get means of finding fulfillment in life, by seeking ways to find happiness around us.Learn to adjust and compromise not by surrendering to the situation, but by understanding it and finding ways to improve it.There is another side to it too..one getting exploited or used .even that should not be allowed .. one should not permit others to take you for granted either ..the balance should be maintained with the give and take in the right proportion ..it should not be an 'all give' or an 'all take '. Maintain a balanced one, though difficult as things are not equal always, but not impossible. Everyone has strengths and personality traits, that play into the 'give and take' of life.
Sometimes, we have the time and patience to give a patient hearing to someone, but not even a slight inkling of what living with us, wants to say or may be going through at that point of time. A 'give and take', is never ever equal, but the effort could be our best. Sometimes it needs an 'extra' effort to bring balance into life, and that will be the most rewarding phase of life. In today's fast paced world,life styles and changing values, it is that "extra effort", that is missing. It may be due to the changing outlook towards life or the social networks. But there is a dissolution of relationships, even before giving it that 'extra effort' to maintain a balance.
However, the give and take of life has also become hard to be defined, but it could also be a signal that a problem needs to be discussed and worked through. A gentle change in the 'routine of relationship', could do wonders and leave one wondering at the miraculous ways of spicing it up. Sometimes we tend to give all our attention to those around us, that we fail to see the loneliness of the one who is always with us in life. The ones taking care of our every little need daily. The ones praying and looking forward for us daily. We take for granted and fail to see that one person......that's the irony of life.....Seeing and understanding the pain and loneliness of others, but not the one sitting next to us always in daily life, waiting for a smile or a loving gaze.
