I have observed very often that people who have already experienced certain mishaps and suffering tend to forget when someone else goes through the same pain. Instead of relating to others and condoling them, they start giving advice. While one sees others in painš«, why does one forget his own sufferings?
Generally this does not happen. Those who go through suffering usually develop an empathy. They do give advices based on what they have learnt though

Why is it that people who were once so deeply connected can become complete strangers almost overnight, as if all the shared moments meant nothing? How can they move on so quickly and find someone new, while blaming you for the breakup, claiming that your actions or words pushed them away? They justify their cold behaviour by saying that making you suffer will somehow make you stronger. But how can they not see the emotional chaos they leave behindāthe emptiness, the loneliness, the struggle with rejection and abandonment? Is it fair to rationalize their actions as a way of helping you grow, while completely ignoring the hurt they’ve caused? [Conti]

I feel deeply disappointed in my relationship because my partner is very cold when it comes to expressing his feelings. He shows no excitement in life and rarely appreciates me. We never talk about our relationship, which leaves me feeling disconnected and alone. Often, he comes up with excuses for everything. Sometimes, he puts in effort and does a lot, but other times, he does nothing at all. We are married and live together, but it feels like I am the only one who expresses emotions and goes the extra mile to make things work. I constantly find myself questioning where we stand because we never openly discuss our emotions or the state of our relationship. I even suggested going to a counselor to help us communicate better, but he dismissed the idea, saying, āIām not mad.ā Itās exhausting to be the only one constantly trying while he remains emotionally distant and unresponsiveš„.
Most relationship generally tend to become so. After the initial vital flush that attracts and draws people together is over. The usual mechanical round of

Alok da, I’m coming to realise how much of the entire political establishment, military, bureaucracy each and everyone’s sons/daughters/nephew/niece is in US. Recently Former US ambassador to India said “I met a Governer of a State (in India)… she said her most important investment is in the US.. her children. If you look at the number of children of senior officials from India in the US, it tells you something about the relationship”š¤ [Conti]

My partner enjoys eating non-veg, drinking, and partying, whereas I am the complete oppositeāI prefer a quiet lifestyle, vegetarian food, and donāt like partying. We even tried to make the relationship work by agreeing that he could go to parties if he wanted, but he shouldnāt expect me to join. Despite our efforts to do our own things and tried to live in harmony, we still end up fighting so much. Iām not sure what to doš¤Ø?
This is unlikely to work. The divergence and dissonance is too fundamental to be overlooked for life. Each doing their own thing is not harmony
