Deep thinking

"You become responsible for what you have tamed. You're responsible for your Rose."

- The Little Prince: Chapter XXI, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

 

Ponderations

Every decision in this world derives from a matter of priority.

Capability of an action is only restricted by the internal balance of priorities that exists within oneself.

The fallacy is created when assumptions are held that free love can tolerate continuous preferential neglect.

It will not.

The heart will attempt to create barriers to avoid the pain until they smother the relationship.

 

Will you stay after work to satisfy the needs of a superior? Or will you go home and hear the sounds of innocent children's laughter before they grow old?

Will you stop the world around you to appreciate a loved one or will you try to fit the task into your schedule?

Will you attend something significant to them at the expense of something important for you?

 

Priorities will determine the quality and lifespan of your relationships.

 

You become forever responsible for what you have tamed.

Yes, character is both shaped

Yes, character is both shaped and reflected by priorities. And thus, so are one's surroundings.

I like this

But in adult type of relationships

There has to be some form

Of reciprocity from the other half.

There are a lot of factors in any kind

Of relationship.
