Relationships change over time,
Some become a mere whisper of what they used to be,
Some become stronger like a firmly planted oak tree,
So, with our relationships we don't know what will come,
And this is why I try to remember this as a rule of thumb:
Knowing our place in retrospect to other people's lives keeps us humble,
If we want a place of more importance than they want to give us then we are being proud,
But if we stay below the place they want us to be, yet we want to have a strong relationship with them, then we have a false humility.
This works both ways because the place for someone else in our life we will at times have to show to them and convey.
