The Principle Of Growth Applied In Relationships

[Donald]

 

"Today we come across an individual who behaves like an automaton , who does not know or understand himself and the only person that he knows is the person that he is supposed to be ,whose meaningless chatter has replaced communicative speech, whose synthetic smile has replaced genuine laughter, and whose sense of dull despair has taken the place of genuine pain."  -Erich Fromm

  The principle of growth tells us that real growth happens from inside out . In life there  are stages of growth and each step is vital , we cannot skip the basics . We understand this concept when it comes to physical things , but if we apply it in terms of human relationships we sense difficulties. In order to cultivate deep relationships we must consider "character ethics" . Shortcuts will not work . Here's another quote from my notes :

"The most important ingredient in a relationship is not what we do or what we say , but what we are"
