Jien and Relationships

As i have been asked by many and have been questioned by many of my fans when is my next book "Jien and Relationships" coming out. I've finally decided to pen it down and publish it.lolz...I had actually drafted it down on my personal notebook, but as i write now, i decided not to follow any draft and just write freely like all my other posts.=) Hope you all enjoy it.

"Jien and Relationship"....here goes nothing..

Relationship is the beauty of life. It makes our life more interesting, more wonderful, more exciting, but many times it hurts as well. Different relationships bring different impact into our lives, some build us up, others bring us down, as relationship is a choice made by man; as similar to our lives, for people in whom we mix with influence the choices we make in our lives, thus relationship is indeed one of the most important choice to be made in life's journey.

To me, there are 3 main types of relationships. 1st, FAMILY, what about them? Well, its true that you can never choose your family members, but there's always a choice whether to accept them for who they are and love them as you love yourself. Family is one great thing, you see, you can never escape from it, for it would be bonded to you for life, whether you like it or not. They can be supportive , they can be hurtful, but that doesnt really matters, what really matters is what are they to you? Do you love them? How do you treat them? You see, you can choose to hate them when they are unfair to you, but that would only hurt more, or you can choose to love them and forgive them for all the unfairness and learn to look at the blessings that they have brought into your life, and appreciate them for who they are. Its your choice, its your life, you chooose.

The next relationship im going to look into is FRIENDS. Friends are known as one group of people you can never miss in your life. No matter how much you keep to yourself, you are bound to meet atleast one friend in your life. Why do i say that? Well, simple, friends are true friends, if they are not, they aren't friends at all. Friends are people in whom who are not related to us but cares for us. You do not have to know a person thoroughly to be his or her friend, but by just caring and loving the person for who he or she is, that is already being a friend to that particular person. In friendship, what is important is not so much of the actions shown but its the thoughts and the heart that counts.

The last and most important relationship of all is the relationship between God and human. This is the greatest relationship of all. The reason why i say this is because, one party loves the other so much that He is willing to give up His life for the other, and yet the other party does not realise this and took it for granted. In a way, its a sad relationship, because its one sided and many times it seems as if both party do not connect with each other, or rather one party is making the effort but the other isnt. Many times we forsake God, many times He speaks but we do not listen, many times we take Jesus's death on the cross for granted, and many times we fail Him. But what is so special about this relationship is that, no matter how much we let Him down, He still loves us as much as He loves Himself. As much as we do not have a choice, He gave us a choice whether to love Him or not, whether to seek a deeper relationship with Him. Thus is the beauty of this relationship, because its a relationship in which the gap of love between both party is so wide and far apart, yet, its the most meaningful relationship of all. No matter how many times we humans forsake Him and call it quits, He still waits patiently for us to return to Him, for this relationship is built and can never be broken.=)

Thus ends the 1st part of "Jien and Relationships" the second part is going to be out soon, but not so soon, it'll cover more on relationships and has more interesting detail in it. Until then, enjoy.=)

Writer's quote: Relationships do not just grow on trees, you plant them and you work on them. They do not come free, there's always a price to pay.

Relationships , wat ever kind of relationship it may be are fragile things...

relationships need to be nurture and worked on... like growing a flower , it needs to watered , purned and taken cared of ... or not the flower will just die there ... and not grow ...

it takes a lot of hard work , on ur side and also the other party ...

it also requires a lot of giving and taking ...

but at the end of the day , relationships are one of the most beautiful things in the world ... it takes a lot of hard work and effort but it will be worth while.
