Most of our energy is drained in maintaining relationships. The maintenance of relationships and thinking about our relationships with others is the largest consumer and drainer of our energy. Toxic relationships are like poison to the soul.
Yet relationship is what gives meaning to our lives. Living with this paradox requires wisdom and understanding. Prioritize a few key relationships. Forget about all others.
But above all, take time to reconnect with your inner self in silence. This is the most fundamental relationship and the one which matters most. In solitude, one finds the source of ones self. That is silence. This is the first relationship and the only one which truly matters in the end. All other relationships are artificial. Yet, one must have relationships in order to live.
Family relationships are important worldly relationships and must be maintained. Relationships with a few close friends is good to maintain. Relationship with your boss or employer is an important worldly relationship and must be maintained, but less important than family relationships.
Tread the soil of worldly relationships very carefully. They are the largest consumer of thought and the biggest attachment.
But in the end remember that the only relationship that truly matters is the one with your own inner self. This is realized in solitude. This is the relationship of absolute silence. The silence of pure awareness.
