If you want to buy something, you have to pay for its cost. You see something that you like to keep, you know you have to be ready with its price. You pay and then get what you like. What if, after a while, this purchased item is not up to your expectations? What if it disappoints you? You can easily exchange or refund it according to the exchange and refund policy. It is your right.

Likewise, if you want a friend you have to exert what it takes to build a strong and reliable relationship. You do not give money but sincerity, care and support. For a well-structured human relationship you have to establish it with might and main. What if you failed after a long period of patience? What if this endeavour is to no avail? What if you do not succeed to achieve your goals and your life turned topsy-turvy? What if your inner peace is disturbed by such a relation? How far is too far? When shall your attempts cease? Can the exchange or refund policy apply to humans?

Throughout our lives we had no choice but to live in a community. We have commitments towards family members and others around us. A long to-do list of obligations and duties fall before our eyes every day. If you are a sincere person, you give infinitely and day after day you find that the plant you have been watering is not bearing any fruits. A one sided relation cannot replace a mutual ground. People take from you all what you can give of your time and life. However, in some cases, you get nothing in return. Until when will you abide to this vicious circle of manipulation? The moment you cease to give is the very moment they start accusing you of selfishness. You fall a victim of frustration and sadness.

Stop! You have done more than enough. Exchange the barren soil with another. One man’s loss is another man’s gain. Do not regret the good you have done. Its reward will be refunded by God. He will refund your good heart and noble deeds.  Life is too short to be spent in toxic relationships that deplete you of your smile and peace of mind. The earth is full of people and you will definitely find another circle of nice fellow humans that are worth your love; who willingly take an extra mile for you. God created people and nations to socialize and get to know each other. Sow your seeds in a new soil. It is never too late to make new friends or meet new people. Flip the page and you will find a new sentence to read.
