The ‘if-then’ people

In life, mostly, your relationships are your own reflections”.                  

………………

In this world, people who are ‘purely good’ or ‘absolutely bad’ are very few. Most of the people are what I call the ‘if-then people’. And by ‘if-then people’ I mean that if you give them reasons to be good then they become good, and if you give them reasons to be bad then they become bad.

Well! Look around in your professional or personal domain or for that matter even in your closest relationships and you would find most of them of such type. And consequently, you will also understand that in life, all associations are essentially ‘give and get’. It is simple – give what you want to get.

But now you may think that someone in your life to whom you have given all the reasons to be good and is still turning out to be bad must be from ‘absolutely bad’ category. Right?? Well! No. Let me clarify…

There is very less chance that you would have an ‘absolutely bad’ person in your life. So, if you look closely, the one who you think is turning out to be bad even when you are giving him reasons to be good is actually an ‘if-then person’. It’s just that you have either ‘not identified’ his reasons correctly, or have ‘not given’ him enough of them.

………………

Yes! If you dig deep enough into your problems, at the root, you would find ‘You’. 🙂
