Conquer or be Conquered

Do you feel sometimes that people want us to participate in their lives when they themselves are not sure what path they tread on? They want to discover their own path by pulling us into it. What happens when that takes place? I feel that we loose ourselves in their world. Our world comes to a halt. When two people or more are together, this takes place. One conquers and the other conquered. I find that most people want to invade the other. I don’t mind if it is a safe invasion, but most times I find it an intrusion.

Do you notice that in almost all types of relationships there is always the conqueror and the conquered? When we meet a new person, and they attract us, don't we strive to get to know them, to know everything there is to know until there is nothing left? And don't they do the same thing too. Eventually after that the attention on that person dissipates and we move on. I believe we always make a mistake and don’t realize that to truly care for a person, be it in any form of relationship is to avoid this invasion and allow the growth of that person around you and share your own growth with them. Only then I truly feel there is substance to the word relationship.

    What ever u said is completely true in a marriage life.

    Either of the person can be a conqueror r conquered. If any one adjusts and suits in to whatever position they are into it will go on smoothly. But if any one is not able to accomdate the relationship will be a total disaster.

    You are right Thenraj, this is prominent in marriages. If you are lucky can be detected early in relationships too. Very subtle in friendships.

    If both are conquerors, ther will be a heavy damage in relationship. Thaz why either one partner always act less submissive when the other challenges. It equalizes on situations and the role we play is important.

    Among friends we have both types and we let go for the best.

    I agree with Priya.. I guess there has to be some amount of compromise for a relationship to really work!

    Relationships are like Two bullocks in a cart, the cart is moving smoothly when two bullocks have no Ego, if one bullock make a strike the cart cant move or derailed.

    have you ever wondered about comfortable silences within a relationships? this is not the same as uncomfortable silences which can rip a relationship apart...but the opposite. When you can truly relax with your partner mutually enjoying even silences you know you are there. Go ahead Tiger!!!

    Anwin,

    It is but sheer bliss to have comfortable silence. Blessed are those who enjoy them.
