The purpose of any relationship is to enrich the respective lives of the people participating in that relationship.
I need to check constantly whether I am making any ‘value addition’ to the relationship itself and its participants’ life or am I sitting there simply sucking the energy out of others? Why should we become an ‘emotional liability’ on others?

This applies to all relationships like marriage, child-parent or parent-child, friendship, professional and so on. This even applies to the relationship of a person with his country and this world!

I need to check regularly as to what value addition have I made, or is being made by me, to this world?
