People say distances kill relations. To me validation of this statement is 50/50. Cause people most of the time talk about distance as going or being far metarially / physically.
I'll try to explain what I mean by this as best of my knowledge.
According to secular psychology, humans are made of two aspects. Material/Physical aspect and Emotional aspect. Following this logic, I think everything that affects us can be divided into these two aspects.
So distance can be split up in two categories.
* Metarial distance.
* Emotional distance.
Metarial distance affects the material plane only. Like living far from your family or friends. The distance between you and your family or friends is Metarial distance. I normally use the phrase "Physical Distance" when I talk about this. Physical distance by itself cant kills a relationship of any kind. But it works as an accelerant making one emotionally go far from things.
The emotional distance, on the other hand, affects the physiological plain. You can be with somewhere physically but emotionally / psychologically you can be in a completely different place. When you are not present somewhere emotionally it will be hard for you to affect that situation. You can live with someone but if you are not emotionally there, are you entirely there?
I don't think so. This kind of distance can annihilate a relationship in a heartbeat.
This kind of distance doesn't just appear out of the blue, it grows slowly.
It's not like physically not being there won't affect your relationship. It certainly will affect your relations but it's not enough to break a relation.
It can also start creating emotional distance in your relationship.
As physical distance can't kill a relation on its own. And needs emotional distance to do the job the statement is half right.
Someone asked me "As you said physical distance can start creating emotional distance. So doesn't that mean it can create emotional distance on its own and cause the relationship to die?"
Well, actually it can. And it will kill a relationship if left on its own devices. But you can simply maintain a close eye on your emotional distance with someone, and maintain a healthy amount of distance. If there is an unhealthy amount of distance, check what is causing that, and do whatever necessary to fix the problem.
Guys, keep your loved ones close emotionally.
I'm sorry if I made any mistakes in my writing, this is just my own personal opinion about "Distance VS Relations" And what we can do about it.
Let me know what you guys think of this and if I made any mistakes, please tell me what they are and what they should be.
