You might tell yourself: “Of course, I do! I have raised my kids, I know my husband/wife and my parents perfectly. I have been with them for ages.” That’s exactly what I thought as well. But what do we really know? Isn’t it just their outer world? What they like and dislike, where they go to work and to school and what can make them angry. We know the story of their lives. Is it enough?

Relationship between parents and their kids

If you know your kids, ask yourself the question if you really know the following: Are they really happy? Are they self-confident? What does move them forward? What is their idea of an ideal life? What kind of relationships do they have? What do they really like to do? How to they sense the life? What would they like to teach you? Did you know answers on each question? Unfortunately, 90 percent of parents have any idea about these considering their children. They only know kids have something to eat, place to sleep and the rest has got lost somehow. Does it sound familiar?

You and your romantic relationship

If you are lucky, this relationship will become perfect example of relationship itself. I was really lucky as well so that’s why I am going to tell you about it. What does it mean to know your partner? Does it mean to know him/her for a long time? The paradox is that as soon as people see their partner, their first question is – how long will they be together. As if it was some kind of indicator of relationship value. But let’s get back. Do you know what kind of emotions or feelings are regularly appearing inside of your partner? Can you distinguish when you talk to partner’s ego and when you really talk to him/her? Can you also talk without words?

Why do we have shallow relationships?

What does it even mean “shallow”? Shallow means without any depth. You know everything about the person what could be observed by eyes and sometimes not even that. Because observing by eyes could also be very difficult for someone. To have relationships without depth is exactly like finding a chest with treasure but without you even looking inside of it. And that’s exactly what we, people, do. No, we don’t look inside of other people and moreover we don’t look into ours! How could we discover new places when we believe that nothing else exists apart from what we know?

People have shallow relationship because they have shallow relationship with themselves. They don’t even know themselves. Even though they guess they know themselves the best, it is definitely not that way. Try to answer all the questions from this article but focus them only and only on yourself. How well do you know yourself?

Here is stumbling-block

Of course, we can’t blame anyone for having this kind of relationship and not even for teaching them their children. Why? Simply because that person doesn’t know anything like a depth. He has never been there and he has never even seen nor heard about it. It is unreal for him. I wrote about the topic how to find own internal world in different article. We have to realize that each of us have to find out that depth alone and nobody can ever push you to do so. Even if it hurts sometimes but every single person had and has to do it only from own initiative. Have you done it? If yes, you can tap from the chest full of treasures. Isn’t it amazing?
