But the realtionships we make from/with soul be it a true friend or significant other is the most important relationship that defines our happiness.
i understand what you're saying but i differ at one point (bolded above) ....
i was hoping that someone would bring this up so i could explain what i meant by saying that you need to be true to yourself before anyone else because the most important relationship one has is with him/herself ........
i agree that a parent-child relations is unlike any other .... but i don't agree with saying that it can't be compared with any other relation ...... cause technically becoming a parent is also a relationship that one chooses to form ..... or at least one should ..... just take a look at how many children are in foster care or are living in orphanges in this world .... i understand that many of these children have lost their parents but there are way to many who have parents who shouldn't be parents in the first place ....... if these "parents" had been true to themselves and understood the relationship they had with themselves, they might have realized that having children and looking after them was not something they could do (its not enough to just have them ..... you need to be responsible for them too ...... and by being true to yourself is how one can know whether or not one can handle the added responsibility of additional relationships) .....
one should also be true to themselves before they get into any relations with anyone ...... i dunno why but i really loved the movie runaway bride because julia roberts has to realize how to be true to herself before she can commit to anyone ..... and i've really taken that message home with me😆 ....
sorry if i sound a little harsh or off topic .... lemme know and i'll edit😳
