Taking for granted, friend or foul?
Since the dawn of days we had been told taking people for granted is one of the worst thing to do, but we all do it. We all know this is a wrong thing to do, but we all couldn't help to take a dip from time to time, taking it from a partner, from a friend, family, workmate and etc. As long as you can read this posting, as long as you are exposed to the media, you are exposed to the our commercial world. One of the saying of this mighty commercial world is to "spend other people's money". In relationships, it would become "spending other people's heart".
If one can agree with the existence of a "cheating curve", can we accept a "take-for-grant" curve? Is it a relativity between: how much freebie can one squeeze out from their partner; and how much can the partner endure? Can balance in this relativity guarantee a successful relationship? Not necessary. The search party for a perfect relationship is still working desperately round the clock, but one thing we know is when this relativity is out of balance, there will be a breaking point:
The breaking point is whenever the passive one discovers that his/her heart had been overspent, I personally think the spender should be told off and the best word to use is "responsibility", only problem is when this word is used as a critism, it will automatically trigger a self defence with words like maturity and self-pride. What do you think about the word "fuck off"?No wonder i'm single.....
