Can someone live a life with no human relationships? Yes, of course. But then, what kind of a life would that be?

Personally, when I think of a life with no relationships, I think of an incomplete life. Here are some reasons why relationships are important:

People play a crucial role in our lives. They have the ability to put a smile on our faces, or on the opposite end, make us feel sad. In either case, we become strong and that is what matters in the end. Relationships play a key role in defining human life, as we are connected to each other by relations; whether they are close friends, romantic partners and family.

From what I have learned, I realize that my top priority should be relationships. I believe this should also be your top priority. Nothing else matters as much. Here is the reason why relationships are important.

1. Relationships fulfill your most important need of all

What is the most important thing people need? No, it’s not money. It’s not achievements or recognition either. The most important thing people need is Love. We all need to love and be loved. Unfortunately, sometimes we are so obsessed with other material things that we forget how beautiful it is to give love and be loved. Don’t let this happen to you. Love others and be loved. Feel how wonderful it is. Get a taste of love. And how do you do that? Through mutual and loving relationships with others but especially with yourself. There is no other way you can love and be loved but through relationships.

2. Relationships are the place where your greatest joy comes from

One inseparable part of relationships is giving. In fact, I believe that there is no genuine relationship without giving. Whether it is giving your time, attention, money, just a smile, or listening to your partner; genuine relationship is all about giving. And believe it or not, there is great joy in giving. We often think only about ourselves and we forget the joy of giving. Life is wonderful when we are thinking about others and not just ourselves.

3. Only through relationships you can have lasting impact on others

Which advice will you listen to more, the one from someone you don’t really know, or the one from someone you love? Of course the latter. We often listen or take advice from who we love more than anyone else. Their words sink deep into our heart, not just our mind. That’s why the most effective way to give lasting impact to others is by building relationships with them. Be their friend and care about them, and I’m sure they will listen to you and respect your opinions regarding anything.

4. Through relationships, you have the people to support you through your hard times.

It is easy to feel isolated when life is challenging and you are struggling with stressful situations in your life. During times like these, we need other people to support us. No one can take care of everything by him or herself. When the world looks dark and the problem looks big, nothing is more valuable than the support of people we love. They encourage us to go through, they accompany us in times of trouble, and they are willing to share the burden with us. The journey will become much easier when they are with us. And life becomes much happier due to their presence.

5. Eventually, relationships are the only things that matter at the end.

When people are dying, they do not think about what they are up to or what achievements they have made in their life. They don’t care if they are rich or famous. All those things become meaningless when people are face-to-face with death. All they want is to have the people they love. They want the warmth of love to be with them in their last moments. Nothing else matters. They realize that, eventually, relationships are the only things that matter. We should not wait until that moment to realize it; we should realize it now.
