The Bond
I read this in an email forward today and liked it. Thought I’d share:
A little girl and her father were crossing a bridge. The father was kind of scared so he asked his little daughter, “Sweetheart, please hold my hand so that you don’t fall into the river.”
The little girl said, “No, Dad. You hold my hand.”
“What’s the difference?” asked the puzzled father.
“There’s a big difference,” replied the little girl. “If I hold your hand and something happens to me, chances are that I may let your hand go. But if you hold my hand, I know for sure that no matter what happens, you will never let my hand go.”
In any relationship, the essence of trust is not in its bind, but in its bond. So hold the hand of the person whom you love, rather than expecting them to hold yours..

Oh that’s lovely! Something to think about. I love it. I think though, that it’s really difficult to reach that level of trust in an arbitrary relationship. That sort of trust usually exists with your parents, no? Not saying it wouldn’t exist otherwise, just that it’s difficult to achieve.

I would think if something does happen, you’d hold on tighter, wouldn’t you? I know I would.

Blue Dress: then that’s even better!
June: It’s definitely difficult.. which is why it’s so nice when the other person initiates o holds on to u when u need it the most.
chikapappi: I have a problem trusting 100% as well. I think experience teaches us that. So my response to you is the same as to June’s
N: yes, but if you’re in a weak position, you’d want to make sure the stronger person holds on to you to help you through it.. look at it this way: if you’re having a problem, it’s sometimes difficult for you to reach out.. but when someone close to you who is strong comes and helps u through the problem, it makes solving it easier.
ammaro: menkhasha! we had a week off for eid and i was relaxing, then going to work after a week off was extremely busy.. hence the past two weeks disappearance! :/ glad to know someone noticed me gone!
Yazeed: me or the story?
Judy: exactly.. so when u have the opportunity to extend your hand to someone else, dont hesitate.
