Business is based on 'give and take'. Trade is based on 'give and take'. Relationships are based on 'love'. And love is giving. You don’t expect a 'take' in love. This 'give and take' is violence. Because if there is a 'give and take', then you always ‘take’ more than 'give', as it happens in a business.
In love, you don’t bother about taking. When there is a need to take, you just take. Have you ever observed that when you are with your friends? If you have really been friends with someone, then you don’t bother about asking, you just take. If there is something kept on his table and you want to take it, you don’t seek his permission. You just take. And if you seek his permission, then it is some kind of a business arrangement. Then it is not love.
Relationships are not based on 'give and take'. The real relationship is one which is based on 'relating' and not on 'give and take'. And the basis of 'relating' is attention. The basis of ‘relating’ is presence and love. When own true love does existed, I believe there's no 'right' and 'wrong' in between of each other.
