Alright guys, it seems that i did not elaborate more on my previous blog. So i decided to write a sequel to finalize issues raised on this topic. It’s gonna be a lot short, but every information counts.
I just want shed a little light on my previous blog. I basically generalized the concept of contempt and i raised a point on what has been going on in that area. But as i reviewed the blog, i realize i didn't shed any light on how to really find contempt in our relationships.
When we enter relationships, we have expectations. Things that they want out of their relationships. Its mostly called a “standard”. Now many times , our partners would never meet these expectations and thus we resort to finding people who do. But one thing to understand is no one can ever meet a person’s expectations, it’s just not realistic. We basically have to compromise on all levels to achieve “equilibrium satisfaction”.
Equilibrium satisfaction ( my very own term) is a situation where two people in a relationship have forgone all excess standards and have reached a common understanding in order to move forward in the relationship. The problem in society today is that people have not fully understood this concept in order to achieve it.
In order to understand this concept, couple must be able to express all their standards straightforwardly and not deviate from it. Then be able to reach a compromise which must be followed in a strict. I propose this as the only way to have the “equilibrium satisfaction” in any relationship.
And so i conclude with this, no relationship is perfect. Everything is a compromise, we have to forgo excesses to achieve a cooperative relationship . We can’t have our cake and eat it.
Ciao.
