The Law of Relationships

           The world currently has a population of more than 6.7 billion people, and is steadily growing every year.  Therefore, we need to incorporate the law of relationships into our everyday lives. “So what is the law of relationships?” you may be asking.  The law of relationships is basically the idea that by embracing others, I embrace myself.  Human beings were  made to be relatable to each other, and thereby, have success on the earth. It’s only natural that we choose certain people to establish relationships with.

          I believe it is very important to choose friends wisely.  An ancient proverb that still holds true today states,  “He who walks with the wise grows wise, but a companion of fools will be destroyed.”  Whoever we  are around a lot, eventually that is who we  will talk and act like.  The people in close proximity have a great deal of influence upon our lives, and likewise, our lives upon theirs. Another old proverb states that 'iron sharpens iron'. In the case of  a relationship, the two or more people involved should be building up each other's lives. To be positively influenced in life, just get around positive people.  We should also strive to be a positive influence by building others up.

          Some of the greatest accomplishments in  life will be the ones in which we are inspired by someone, or work with someone to achieve the goal. Our  greatest potential lies in unity, not in isolation. Unity is the state of being united or forming a whole, to come together for a common purpose..  On the contrary, isolation means without relation to others, or to be separate. One of the most unselfish things for a person to do is to think about someone else's needs and meet them.  Living in unity with the people around us translates into power, or ability to succeed in a common goal.   

           One of the definitions of relationship is the way in which two or more people regard and behave towards each other. How we deal with people in authority over us is a great example for this point. Submission to authority is vitally important in the law of relationships. Submission can also be defined as honor which is to regard with great respect. By respecting those in authority, we are able to cooperate and  work in unity.

          The law of relationships is an important aspect of everyday life. The key in the law of relationships is to be in unity. We need to think about who we are around and what we do to affect the lives of others. Respecting and honoring those in authority can take you a long way in life.
