Relations are integral part of the system or society we live in. A mother daughter relation, husband wife relation, brother sister relation, etcetera are what that defines us an individual. Also they make survival easy. 

But with changing times the definition of the relationships are also changing. Being aware of your worth is different and insulting relations just because you don't agree to some thing is different. And in my personal view we have shadowed the worth thing with the insult thing. Patience is a virtue which everyone doesn't posses. And lately with let's say the increased use of social media everyone has started feeling that they are right. But if everyone is right then who is the toxic one? 

I haven't seen any single person who is happy with their relatives. But if you check those relative's Whatsapp stories or as such you might also find that they themselves are not happy. The reason being people know how they should be treated but do they treat others the same way? People know how to take but do they know how to give? It's like they know how to point fingers on others but nobody keeps a tab on their own behavior. Hence the changed relationships. People prefer their peace of mind over any drama. Also today you can't tell anyone what to do and what not to do because nobody asked for the advice and also today people have resources to get everything done. Nobody actually needs anyone. Everyone is overwhelmed with their own dreams, their own choices, they prefer falling and then learning instead of talking steps with caution. 

This awareness for one own self is good as well as bad. As I wrote above respect is must. There can be a polite way of talking things out. I can't go in front of my parents and smoke a cigarette or get a drink. Because I respect them and this is my way of showing that. There are rules and regulations which differ from family to family and so the ways of showing respect. Again being frank with your family is different, there's always a fine line or limit in every relationship that shouldn't be crossed. Which are also called boundaries. Seek respect only when you know how to give it, also it's easy to spoil everything, real courage is how you hold onto things peacefully. And still if it costs you your peace then let it go.
