Conflicting ideologies

Whenever we meet head-on with a condition or position which requires us to accept against our basic beliefs, it necessitates a great mental effort to endure it. How willing are we to let this change in our lives? And how determined are we to stick with this change? Also, are the reasons we are making our minds up for this change worth it?

It may be in any kind of relationship, lovers, parent and child, siblings, friends, employee and employer, any strange association, literally just about any correlation. Only difference being the gravity of this conflict may differ based on the relationship/association. The disposition that you are expected to tolerate might just totally flip you; you bite your tongue, protest a little, display your disagreement, but with little result in terms of a receptive reaction from the other. Now if you desire this association with utmost sincerity, upon not receiving a reasonably tolerable response you begin to wonder where you really stand in this association, how important you really are here? A lot about you: who you really are what you really believe and think is at stake now. 

So do you make fit for, or change to suit this purpose as per the requirements or conditions? Or do you transform from one form in this case opinion and belief to the other. Both these actions require a psychological fortitude to be able to live with and allow these disturbing and nudging modifications in your lives. Are you willing to digest these adulterations? If one insists on not changing these highly indigestible acts of theirs you know for sure that you hold a very little priority in their lives. This stubbornness breeds a certain amount of antipathy between two people.

On the other hand if both parties can adapt to each other’s beliefs the amplitude of difference in this foundational stance is reduced to a great extent and hence much easier to deal with. It also depicts indispensability of the other in one’s life, and their willingness and seriousness associated with the relationship. An equilibrium in the labyrinthine sense is what is needed to make this association last. 


P.S This post has been edited, to remove the last sentence "Enthusiasm to give and take is the key.", as it appeared to be incoherent with the thought that had gone in here.
