Relationships matter because it is the essence of our lives, they provide support, companionship, and a sense of belonging. They offer emotional, social, and sometimes practical assistance, contributing to our overall well-being and happiness.
Additionally, relationships can provide opportunities for personal growth, learning, and sharing experiences with others. Our life otherwise would have been so mundane and monotonous, if no relationships were there. For me, it is very hard to imagine a life without relationships. They might not be something without which it is impossible to survive but survival in this "rattrap kind of world" is made a lot easier.
Through relationships, we find support during challenging times, celebrate joy together, and create lasting memories. Interactions with others help us grow personally and socially, expanding our perspectives and shaping our identities; 'just like the rattrap seller's perspective changed after coming in contact with Edla Willmanson'. Ultimately, relationships form the fabric of our lives, influencing our happiness, health, and sense of fulfilment.
