Intimate personal relationships!

There is another thought that I would like to share with the readers. It's very thought provoking and well addressed.

Good Thought for the Day by Eknath.
The heart benevolent and kind
The most resembles God.
– Robert Burns

It is through personal relationships that we learn to function beautifully in life throughout its ups and downs. We all need the little human contacts of life, and we all need intimate personal relationships with family or friends. Many people today do not live with a family, but that is not really the issue. Whether we live alone, with family, or with friends, we can cultivate personal relationships that are kind and genuine.

We can cultivate personal relationships everywhere, in everything, every day, with each person in our life – even the bank teller and the mail carrier.

Most of us, in moments of candor, will probably admit that we want to be liked by those around us. We like to please and be loved by those we love. And nothing makes us feel so secure as knowing that we have brought a little joy into the life of someone we care about. That is why putting others first can be such a natural, beautiful part of life.
