Familiarity..Absence

Familiarity breeds contempt.
Absence makes the heart fonder.

Very very true quotations.
Generally people take each other for granted when familiarity is in the relationship. Ironically, this is almost & always prominient in human relationships. People get sick of each other when they are together looooong enough to get sick of each other. That's why families fall apart, couples break off, colleagues turn off from bosses. Very sad ~ i hope i won't be like that but i am still human.

On the other hand, people miss each other when absence is also in the relationship. Someone passes away, goes overseas to work or study or migrate, meets rarely, fails in the relationship. People miss each other when the company is lost & somehow they just reminscent the memorable moments together, probably some lament of not spending enough time together or saying & doing something wrong that strain the relationship.

We are at times contradictory beings.
Have you taken someone for granted? Contempt has set into you?
Do you miss someone dearly? Fonder has budded into you?

Hmm..time to evaluate yourself, my friends!
