Having a fight with someone very dear* to me yesterday, I couldn't get it out of my head that love can't be the answer to every problem in the world. There are barriers between people that love can't pass, even if it's strong, pure and sincere.
What does then a good relationship make? When communication fails to reach the other one, and when the limit between wishing good and controlling fades, how do we keep our relationship healthy?
I once thought that true and sincere communication is the key to solving any conflict. That and granting the other the degree of personal liberty that he/she needs. Oh, and maybe also having the decency not to throw words towards the other which cannot be taken back (guess I missed this one yesterday...).
But what happens when your sincerity is thrown back at you? What happens when the other one is so deeply insecure of his life that he hides behind concepts that don't match yours? How do you truly and sincerely communicate to a person who's not even sincere with him/herself? How do you draw borders without actually keeping people out?
Are we in fact really capable of relationshipping? Or are we just relationshitting ourselves?
*Not the duck.
