The Economics of Relationships…

The base of a relationship is mutual self-interest. We fall in love with a person who exactly does what we want him/her to do. Our minds have set up a certain ideal for the person. The individual has to fit into that mold. When they do something different or do something contrary to our opinions then we begin to hate them. Our own ideal, which we set up, keeps changing. Our criteria keeps getting manipulated by our fickle mind. People …...to our minds are nothing but objects. We can build holy concepts around people,but when it boils down to a relationship, it is pure economics. There is nothing wrong with this idea. Many people think its crude and shun such ideas of looking at a relationship. They always want to look at life through fairy tale glasses. The motto of every business organization is that the customer has to be kept happy. They treat customers with respect and successful business-people treat customers and fellow employees with respect. But in a relationship most of the time even economical standards don’t work. Most of the people who exist in a committed relationship take the other person for granted, don’t keep them happy and forget about respect and trust. A successful business enterprise guarantees good quality of the product and their long life. A good relationship should guarantee long life and also mutual happiness.

Only two independent people can have a good relationship.
Any emotional/financial/physical dependence makes the relationship into a parasite paradise.One would dominate(mostly men) and other becomes submissive(mostly women)..this has been a trend which has continued for centuries.Even though initially parasite-relationships look as if they work,in the long run they break down.
The woman who has no image of her own and she starts searching for something to fulfill her.She lives vicariously through her children.She tries to dominate and subject the kids to all her dreams.The kids end up with psychological problems and they torture their kids and the vicious circle of doom continues.The man on the other hand tries to exercise the power on all levels.Some guys with huge complexes/self esteem issues, try to marry a girl who is quite young.They also try to choose a spouse who is not educated.Somehow they feel that, they can run the girl's life.For such guys a pet dog would be the right choice.They can train the dog more easily.
No amount of wealth and material luxuries patch up the imbalance between the man and the woman in a parasite relationship.

I kinda agree with the first paragraph of your blog.
the 2nd, I must say is a major letdown.
Men mostly dominate??! We stil ain't in the medieval/stone ages.
Men have learnt to respect women long since and are a lot more 'civilized' and chivalrous these days!
Perhaps the fairer sex failed to notice yet!! :D

Parasitic relationships, huh?
Nice term. You coined it?? :)

Furthermore you seem to make a lotta assumptions and build on them; which means the odds of it actually happening are 1 in a million.
It's no less different from this -

Dilbert: "I had to make some optimistic assumptions to meet the revenue target. In Week 3, we are visited by an alien named D'Utox Inag, who offers to share his advanced technology."
Pointy Haired Boss: "Then, do we use this advanced technology to design our new product?"
Dilbert: "No, we kill him and sell the autopsy video."


That said, Ain't it totally unfair to judge things such? :| :D :D
