Relationships can be comparable to crystal ornaments.
Crystal ornaments are first of all unique, you can never really find crystals that are exactly the same. They are so pretty, looking at it just brings you pleasure. They are so precious, you would want to look at it almost every moment in your lives. But once you unintentionally break it, it will never be the same again. Some might argue that we can glue them back together, but it would still be different as its original state.
Some would take the chance to embrace this brokeness and see the beauty in this broken crystal, appreciating the beauty of its new state. Often, we keep it in our drawers and bid it goodbye.
Won't it be a pity? What happened to all the love and appreciation you showered this crystal with when it was still pretty and your eye candy? What happened to all the pleasure it provided you when it was pretty? What happened to its value in your lives? Would it just be thrown away?
We should appreciate every relationship. It is a journey that is unique to itself, it gives experience that would not be experienced elsewhere. In the end when things turn sour, we should accept adversities and grow from it, seeing adversities as beauty as well. In that way, conflicts and what not would be seen as elements to help one's relationship grow instead of the factor that breaks it all up into small fragments.
The crystal can provide much pleasure to the eye, but dust would soon bury its beauty. It is also the job of the owner to maintain it so as to enjoy its beauty. This brings the elements of mutual ownership and invovlement. It is a shared relationship, not a one-sided one.
Some crystals are imperfect to some, but perfect to the other. Perfection is in the eyes of the beholder, one should never be under the influence of others, but trust in his/her own taste and pick on that is perfect to oneself and one that he/she would commit to maintaining and accepting till the end of time.
Take time to search, decide then commit...
