Are small misunderstandings necessary for better understandings??

Once a friend of mine explained me that in a relationship, which could be that of friends, siblings, boyfriend- girlfriend or any for that matter, the base is stable & constant. Just like a business cycle there may be peaks (when it is at its best) or troughs (when we have fight). BUT the base remains CONSTANT.



Many of us might agree to what she said but I don't think this theory always hold. Yes for sometime the base may remain intact but with incessant & repeated troughs it may even shatter. After all if you don't water a plant regularly it is bound to die. Just the same way if you don't nurture the plant of friendship, it is bound to break. The other person may understand you once, twice, thrice.... but one day his patience would end. So turn around before the treasured friend leaves you.
You must have heard " Relations are like a Book. It takes few seconds to burn but it takes years to write. So preserve them and let them never end."
