Relationships

I was just contemplating about the terms Family and Relationships.. I really do feel its all illusary..But I cant help from showing my deepest love and affection for my family members, be it immediate or extended..Its really astonishing to see how each person behaves in a different way when confronted with different situations..Sometimes i feel that situations brings out the worst in a person, sometimes the best..Whoever said that Relationships are transient must have really experienced it to say thus..It pains me deeply to think how people act, but I do understand that the situation is not under their control.There are several extraneous factors involved. People get so involved in their own lives and do not have time to say even a hello or a "how are you". Sometimes, I stay up all night thinking about how complicated it has become even for simple relationships..I feel expectations are the culprits..At this time, I get reminded of" Do not expect anything; do your duty" I dont expect anything costly or big, only an occasional "from the heart" Hi and a Hello..Is that too much to ask?? ...
