Relationship: the relation connecting or binding participants in a relationship: as a : KINSHIP b : a specific instance or type of kinshipSo above we have the definition for a 'relationship' according to Webster's dictionary... but what does it really say? it seems to be a circular reference..... so I guess we can't just look at a dictionary to define relationships.....
As we go through life, we come across so many people ... teachers, friends, coworkers, bosses, subordinates, strangers etc... and each one of them somehow makes an impact in our lives.... so how do we define relationships with them?
It's easy to label Dad, Mom, Sister, Brother, Husband, Brother-in-Law, Sister-in-Law, Cousin and the list can go on and on... and these are all categorized under 'Family' and each is supposed to hold a level of importance in our lives.... Mom, Dad, Sister, Brother, Husband become immediate family....anything else is more extended.... and we do the saame with the people we categorize as 'Friends' - Best friends, close friends, friends and associates....
But we usually find the lines being blurred... friends become more than just friends and become more dear to us than 'Family' and family becomes something we would rather ignore. So as we go through life trying to define each person we meet into a category.... it is going to be very hard to through life defining each of our changing relationships...instead I think I have decided to take anything good that comes my way and enjoy it while it with me and as people and relationships change move on to other things while holding onto all the good impact each has had on my life....

Sometimes its difficult to hold on to a relation without looking at the negative sides of a person. Each one of us should be able to decide and judge someone else based on our own experience and interactions. If you prejudge someone without us experiencing them one on one, we may tend to be not fair in interacting with them
