“When someone sees the same people every day, as had happened with him at the seminary, they wind up becoming a part of that person's life. And then they want the person to change. If someone isn't what others want them to be, the others become angry. Everyone seems to have a clear idea of how other people should lead their lives, but none about his or her own.”

If people who enter your life are mere accessories ,this wisdom holds good .But if you want to make a genuine relation ,accept his right to hurt ,criticize ,interfere like you will have the right to hurt ,criticize ,interfere in his life .Otherwise what is there in a relation ----just exchanging pleasantries ,''how are you ,am fine '' .
When I am 80,what is going to give me high is NOT the 300 marriages ,250 kriya-ceremonies ,200 mundans that I might have attended in my life-time .But how many relations I formed where I could let my hair down ,be not afraid of hurting or being hurt .
