Actually for one to get along with others is to flow with them heart to heart. We are ready and willing to invest our time and efforts in people around us but it is quite painful when those efforts are not appreciated at all. The lesson that the whole society forgets is that not all good deeds are rewarded and not all work done with good intentions is valued.

What is the most painful is when people with whom one is closely related become estranged or trust is breached. At times it is cited when we engage in either excessive or intense conversation with people who have no appreciation for it. While we are serious, the rest go ahead and just play, or have a laugh.

Sometimes the biggest challenge is not the failures all the time it is more so with the wrong people in our lives. It is much better not to give your heart to people who do not value you and only waste the best thing you could ever offer.

Friendship is a company where everyone will take and give equal in his or her own capacity. If one continues to demand something from the other person while giving very little or nothing at all, the relationship gets strained. Love and friendship can only subsist where it is possible for the partners to afford to care, and that care has to be reciprocated.

Words must be backed by integrity to come out with friends and otherwise, you end up with mere acquaintances. Trust is a valuable asset one loses it if not easy to have it back.

In life be truthful, appreciate people who love them, and do not think of those that hate you. About kindness, the better response is kindness while concerning falsehood, the better response is distance. Be simple: should not attempt to seek the approval of all the people out there but appreciate the few who truly care for your welfare.

Usually, the passion for love does not fade within a lifetime; therefore, go forward to give love to deserving individuals and keep your heart accessible to people who may deserve it.
