Ch.8 HOW WE RELATE ?

 

RELATION

As human beings, we are living on this planet for hundreds of thousands of years. Our ancestors faced the process of evolution and here we are, still on the way to modify ourselves towards our maximum potential. Every human belongs to the same ancestor but is divided into different groups, clans, creed, and color due to their preferred language, choice of religion, and area to possess; to be differentiated and identified differently.

PEOPLE WE ADMIRE

All the relations we make are concerning the personality we admire. It is our nature to make relations with each other (either physical, emotional, or psychological) to live a prosperous life. Different scenarios arise in human life where an unknown person can relate to us so well that we completely lost ourselves and unintentionally become part of his ideology.

PSYCHOLOGICAL ILLNESS

We are the creatures that possess psychologically ill personalities. Our psyche depends upon customs, norms, upbringing, and other influential things. We relate to others’ feelings, thoughts, and actions to create a strategic connection by persuading them or being persuasive.

During our interaction, our psychological behavior impacts a lot while determining the type of connection we are going to build.

ARE WE FOND OF RESEMBLANCE??

The set of ideas that are structured within us find resemblance in others, to relate in a meaningful way and making an opportunity to create familiarity. It creates a sense of trust, acceptance, and recognition between both parties and helps them understand each other deeply by creating a special bond.

ARE HUMANS ENOUGH

All the living things on earth possess emotions like humans but none of them express them frequently like us. The way we behave around others depends on the emotional connection we had. It creates a bond that contributes as a decisive factor to build a relation.

We even connect to animals, plants, and other objects due to having an emotional connection built through a long time of interaction and care. The house we live in, the pet we feed daily, gift by loved ones; the things that matter the most is due to our linkage through emotional connection.

EMOTIONAL STRENGTH

Emotions don't make their way to built on their own, mostly it takes a slow and lengthy process of understanding, care, love, affection, togetherness, and recognition. To connect to someone strong enough in an unbreakable relation. Click the link to find about why we love?

We are the creatures of a 3-dimensional physical state. Diverse enough to easily be identified distinctively and dealt with. Our relation to any individual or group is impacted a lot by physical appearance.

WHY PHYSICAL ATTRIBUTES?

We possess different traits in our society. Based on our knowledge and experience, we accept or reject any person viewing differences in their physical attributes conflicting with our idealistic state. It may happen due to societal interference or our lack of understanding to deal with different things. Equipping ourselves with relevant tools can lead us to absorb things with ease and comfortable way.

ARE WE THE SAME OLD FREAKS!

With the historical evolution of social structure, humans became more civilized externally but deep inside there is a taming light of fear, anger, and hostility for the distinct ones. We are related to ones that give a sense of uniformity and are keen to grow with them by raising intolerance for others.

FINDING THE LOVE INSIDE

We even relate ourselves to the product that we use either in the form of utility or luxury since we create a sense of connection with it. We remember our relations through that object (where it’s gifted by someone).

“A thing that is worth a penny may cost everything for the one who has an emotional attachment to it”

YES, WE ARE!

We tend to understand the behavior of a thing and predict its behavior, use to know its nature and physical attributes. It is natural to understand things better with their frequent usage and getting skillful with that object. We tend to resonate with our feelings by understanding the nature of that thing.

We live in a world where everyone is bound to interact. Evolution took us to the extent that reduced the distances through digital connectivity, resultantly increased dependency to exchange the goods for a healthy living.

CONCLUSION

While concluding, I must say that we relate to everything that we interact with. We have to listen to the thoughts, deeply dig inside us, to understand things that pave the path to revolutionize the world. Making it a better place for everyone to live smoothly.

Every individual to have the right to choose the best fit for them and change his stance after exposure to a new perspective. There is noting such right or wrong, it just depends on the standing of the speaker, listener, their set of ideas/beliefs, and the narrative they try to fit in…
