Many people do not know that the most important things in life are not objects or items but rather human beings. That is why it is so disrespectful when people choose things over human beings. Nothing on this earth can be more precious than a human life.
It is rather unfortunate when people go into a relationship just to manipulate human beings for material things. Doing so means you don’t know the value of human life. You don’t know your worth. You see things as more valuable than humans so you don’t mind sacrificing or selling your integrity, character or value for things.
It is sadder when people in a relationship or marriage treat things better than their partner or family. To those looking for a lastly relationship, go for someone who puts you above the things in their life. Go for a partner who is interested in hearing all about how your day was, than a partner who spends their time on devices and gadgets and make you feel like a nuisance disturbing or distracting them, when you want to talk to them.
Anyone who has more time for things in their life than their partner does not love the partner. Anyone who is interested in things around them but not interested in what goes on in their partner’s life does not love them.
Anytime I hear couples fighting each other or killing each other over material things, the question I ask myself is, what was the love they professed to each other? If their love for each other is true, their lives and relationship will mean more to them than material things.
Name the things people fight over and ask yourself, can those things function without humans? What is a mansion without humans, what is a car without humans, what is a phone without humans. So why make these things more important than your partner?
