When I was a kid I used to think, why these elders have issues with each other. Why don't they just talk to each other and clear their issues instead of ignoring each other for years? Why they pretend everything is fine and make silence destroy each other's bond.
But when I found myself in place of my elders I found it so hard. I didn't had courage, mentally and physically I was not ready to understand things. when we get misunderstood we always give up on ourselves rather than making the mind and feelings work. We create lot of angry, frustration and irritation where we just build our bad side on higher level. All our humanity, good side just disappear.
Misunderstandings are the enemy of every relationship. Not only the couples even friendships, parents, in-law's all kind of relationship have issues but instead of breaking relations can't we break our ego and clear out misunderstandings.
I personally faced huge problems by not clearing misunderstanding. One should always give three attempts to any relationship. And by giving the chances to someone doesn't mean your are more understanding or you have the power to rule other. It's just a way to understand and make misunderstanding clear and a bond stronger. so that, it won't happen next time ever. where you know each others feeling, the pros and corns and understand that on each level. Getting misunderstood, means that people do not understand you and you gave a wrong impression or idea of them. I personally becomes disturbs and it just waste my productive time. Sometimes in that disturbance we behave more bad and throughs rude behavior. so I take my space keep my ego and attitude aside and i just give try and talk.
I am still personally working hard and trying to do it. You too give a try !
I hope this helps.
Thank you
