Actions have consequences and every decision we take has repercussions on both us and those around us like friends and family.
Imagine taking part in gambling and go broke and even borrow money to gamble, then when you are now overrun with debt you go on the run and your family may be put in danger as your debtors may go after them if they can’t get to you or find you.
Even parents are not left out. Sometimes separated or divorced parents refuse to lay their differences aside for the sake of their children. If a child has an important event like a graduation or a marriage, both parents refuse to lay their differences aside for the sake of their children, instead, they threaten to disrupt the event forgetting that their children are involved.
The one that’s worse is taking that disagreement to the grave and after the death of one of them, their children will be left with a mountain to climb just to organize a funeral.
It’s even worse if it’s their mother, there will be confused about where to lay the body to rest, is it in their father’s house or somewhere else.
No matter how bitter people are they should try to keep communication channels open especially when there are children involved because of unexpected situations.
No point being extremely difficult till death and stir up a storm to consume those alive. Repair relationships to the point of communication for the sake of people who are not part of your reason for disagreement.
Don’t get involved in anything that will negatively affect those you left behind. People barely talk about the effect of divorce and separation on children in times like funerals.
The effects are never-ending no matter how people may pretend. It’s always important to keep your paths straight and think of those that’ll be affected by your decisions when you are not available to deal with the effects.
Temperaments are important in relationships because they help us relate better with people when we know how they’ll react. In all be ready and willing to improve on your weakness and build on your strengths. Let me know what temperaments you belong to…
