Reaching mutual understanding with friends
whom you love, respect and care for their well
being is not an easy task. Especially when
personality and experience are different
from our own! The main element needed to do
this is to be patient... and really listen to the other's
heart beats, thoughts and likes! Being observant
will reveal the daily culture of the other and allow
us to look into all their characteristics. In turn
the other person has to do the same with us.
It's a mutual obligation if we truly want to have
harmony and understanding together! The benefits
for achieving this mutual understanding are very
many indeed! We become free to do and choose
whatever we believe we should have. In particular
times and as we follow our individual path in our
journey forward. We can say whatever we want.
We don't necessarily fault the other with their
opinions and beliefs. A good relationship practises
such a state of being and living with the company
we keep! Being flexible in our desires and expectations
becomes the norm. Our appreciation of what we do
together reaches new heights and allows for further
growth in joy and happiness. It's healthy to be in
this cocoon united in purpose and activities, living
the moment with a positive outlook and conversation.
What more can we want from our mutual understanding?
Well there is the real knowledge of the other's individuality
and precious personal and intellectual make up. Their spirituality,
emotional leanings and philosophy. These are ingredients
that require a dose of understanding and wisdom. We live
better when we achieve 'mutual understanding' and continue
to appreciate this need if we want harmony and a lasting friendship.
We have it now. Let's keep it and share it with love in our sunset years!
