When we are close to somebody, we tend to attach to them very much. This attachment is good in the sense that we are willing to help each other sincerely when they need help. We feel that it is our responsibility to lend our helping hands.
However, when the attachment is too strong, people will start to demand the other party to do something for them. If the needs are not fulfilled, this is the point of deterioration of the relation starts. How are we going to overcome this?
It requires both parties to make some effort. It doesn't work if only a party who is industriously doing something to mend the relationship.
So, guys, what is your opinion on attachment between people?

i believe attachment to anyone or anything is rooted in one's inability to fill in a gap in one's life. what i mean is, if i am overly attached to someone, its not because that someone fulfills something for me, but rather because there is something missing in me that i have not discovered. the longing that one feels in one's heart, i doubt, can be fulfilled by anyone. so why then do we enter into relationships? i suppose humans by nature are communal creatures. we enjoy the company of others. and we 'discover' our self through our interactions with others. Just my two-cent worth.
